I can see that wow. I need to play more Skyrim now lol I never got to finish that game. Thanks for the great comment chrisrezende and thanks for watching 😃😃👍
My copy should arrive this week, although I am in the middle of an Immortal Souls campaign at the moment. Wotan is the Saxon name for Odin and he is on his his horse Sleipnir.
Northwind tales seems to be under some influence of norse mythology, Draugr is a ghost in old norse (or at least I guess, Icelandic word for ghost is draugur and icelandic is the closest to old norse you get) Wotan is riding sleipnir (odins horse, sleipnir is the son of Loki), we have the valkyrie´s that gather those who die in battle, to bolster the armies of valhalla for ragnarok (although a different use for them in this game I´m guessing.) And of course Nidhoggr the dragon eating the roots of the tree yggdrasil, in which the nine worlds are located. And I´m guessing that someone of the creators of S&S is a fan of norse mythology, we had Fenrir in Immortal souls (Fenrir the giant wolf, son of Loki, slayer of Odin in ragnarok, although not a giant wolf in immortal souls.) I´ll be starting Northwind tales soon so I´m guessing I´ll be seeing more reference to norse mythology in northwind tales.
@@kristinneinarsson8438 that is super awesome. Your right about all the references it does have a strong Norse feel. I’m excited to dig into this expansion as soon as I can. Thanks for the great comment Kristinn!! And thanks for watching 😃😃👍
Yes this expansion looks really cool. That’s a great question Luka. I’m sorry I don’t have any info on that, but you could reach out to Area Games. They may have an answer for you. Sorry I’m not much help. Thanks for watching 😃😃👍
Hello! Sorry for the bother, but where can i buy this expansion please? I see Myths of the arena beeing sold everywhere, but not northwind tales. Is is not out for purchase yet?
@@BloodpawBDO that’s a great question. I’m not sure this was all from the Kickstarter. I wonder if you reach out to ares games if they have any available sorry I don’t have many answers for you 😃😃👍
@@MeetMeAtTheTable hey! thanks for the very fast response!! yea i sent out a message or two today, just found it weird that there is a kickstarter for a third expansion, abyssal legends, and i cant get my hands on the northwind one. initially i bought immortal souls, darkness falls and ancient chronicles for the miniatures years ago, it was just last week that i looked into playing the game. now i want to play all the content 😁
Thats a great question. I haven't explored this one as much. I was not impressed by the first couple missions, but from what it looks like it grows into an amazing game. I dont think you can go wrong with anything from S&S.
@@MeetMeAtTheTable yes but after darkness the fiddleness started to get to me.. u have 12 conditions that do the same thing deduct a health.and I don't use $
That is soooo stupid to add more minis just different colors. Unless you actually need the extra enemies to make the game harder. Else they could've just included the cards. But hey, since they already had the molds done and plastic costs next to nothing, I guess this is just another way for capitalism to make us part with our money.
Totally get it. I’m sure you understand that the color influences the difficulty of the enemy, but for someone like me that painted the minis there really is no need for those extra minis but I can use them in DND which I love 😃😃👍
When you showed the Draugr enemy scroll, It immediately made me remind of the Elder Scrolls V Skyrim!

Nice!!! Yes this game is a ton of fun!! I haven’t had a chance to jump into this yet. Thank you for the info Haxan!! And thanks for watching 😃😃👍
Duergar are dark dwarves from D&D. These Draugr seem to be undead dwarves.
Thats right!!!!! Thanks Arik I couldn't remember where I had heard that from and yes your right they do look undead. thanks for the help

I do believe that there is a lot of fiddlyness in S&S and the characters do grow and have many abilities and weapons and it get to be a lot.
