There have been a few more written previews of Expeditions: Viking since PAX East, such as this one at MMORPG.com, but there's still no proper footage of the game's new demo. The best thing for now is this interview with Alex Mintsioulis at a YouTube channel called GlitchFeed, which contains a few disjointed snippets of gameplay. Check it out:



The characters look better to me than they did in the videos from GDC. Maybe it's the lighting.

This looks pretty cool and I like their approach, the perfect match for the Vikings series. I wonder how open the campaign is, do we have to collect plot token until a pre-defined ending or is it much more dynamic. That said, I feel the interviewer would have preferred to be anywhere else than there. Also starting with calling this an action RPG, not good

Aww, he really did love playing the demo, I think my beard (+2 Cha) was overwhelming and intimidating.

Regarding progression, the game basically works around the concept that all of the Norse leaders including the King will meet at the upcoming Althing, a leadership meeting where grievances are aired and laws passed. Players must attain as much wealth and glory as they can before the Althing. Though these will not be the only points a player will be judged on.

You will also be weighed on other elements of how the game was played, Who are your allies? Do your followers even like you? And so on. Time advances by moving over the campaign maps, or sailing back and forth to and from England. And we're still working out how much in-game time will pass before this event happens.

Sure, we have an Expeditions forum, you can go there and ask whatever you want: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?forums/expeditions.101/

Yep, come on over to the Expeditions Forum anytime and start a thread! We're here to chat.
