Two brand new videos released!

[Helios]

Just wanted to let you all know that two brand new Rise of the Argonauts videos have just been released this morning and are now available to view and download from the RotA community site video download page.

In the Gods Profile video, Lead Designer Charley Price reveals the four patron deities that watch over Jason throughout the course of the game, along with an overview of the weapons, personality traits and skills that players will acquire by dedicating deeds to particular gods.

The theme of deeds is picked up and continued further by Liquid Entertainment’s President Ed Del Castillo in the second video, which details the game’s unique experience points system. Using a brand-new system for RPGs, experience points will be tracked as a series of deeds that can be dedicated to a particular god as a way to earn favour and level up with the skills and abilities of that god.

Each of the gods – Ares, Apollo, Hermes and Athena – has his or her own skill tree that gives the player a flexible and dynamic system for acquiring skills and improving their character. Players will also be able to align themselves with a god by choosing the dialogue that best fits the god’s unique disposition.

Hope you all enjoy the videos!

Let me try to explain the world to you:
In RotA you will be able to visit 15 islands. On everyone you have the possibility to explore these islands like an open world as known from Oblivion.
I hope this will help you.

Hi son of poseidon and welcome to our forums

The gods in the game that you will be able to attribute deeds to and gain powers from are: Apollo, Ares, Hermes & Athena

But as far as i know there are skills with the names of other gods like "Gates of Tartaros/Hades". This will be a skill of Ares.

oh i see, thanks. do you have any idea when the game will come out. i know that it is sometime in autumn, but can you give me like a month at least, if you are allowed of course.

There isn't an exact date of release but the german Amazon lists the official game guide and the date for "Verlag" is the 26th September. There is some space to speculate.

It will come out SOON™ -)
