Use a wide range of character skills as well as your own leadership-related abilities to succeed. The choices you make in these often affect your companions and the world around you. Ally yourself with mighty factions that shape the Riven Realms with their influence on commerce, brutal wars, and constant scheming. Journeys have to be planned and prepared for carefully, lest they end in disaster. In order to punish the Empire for its sins, the Elder Gods unleashed their power a thousand years ago that ended up devastating the realms. A large selection of stories make up the game’s narrative in the form of events and quests. The continent is now a wasteland, riddled with arcane anomalies, swarming with twisted monsters, and haunted by roaming undead even after long centuries of rebuilding. Manage your supplies, morale, and your crew’s vigor effectively to survive. Each companion comes with unique combat skills, background stories, and personal quest lines that can upgrade them further when you complete them. Positioning and support skills are of paramount importance in these challenging engagements. A wide variety of companions can work for you in versatile caravan roles, such as scoutmaster, guard captain, treasure hunter, or beast handler. Your crew of workers, fighters, scouts, and slaves have to be managed well to optimize their effectiveness. Pick your background from trader, mercenary, or explorer; work for factions, follow rumors and trading opportunities; acquire wealth, gain fame, and discover hidden knowledge. But take heed - befriending a faction will more than likely antagonize others. Engage in turn-based, tactical combat that involves your companions and a large variety of enemies, both humanoid and monstrous.
