Let's Play The Banner Saga [Part 13] - Yrsa & Bersi In Combat

More Banner Saga, that's right. Lots more turn based combat with lots more Dredge this time around. The Varl campaign is no joke, I mean, you just constantly wreck face with a bunch of strong Varl units. We even have some humans. Yrsa and Bersi, who are Ludin's bodyguards serve us pretty well. Yrsa's ability to hit an area of effect with fire is pretty good, even if she is really weak, and Bersi is killer dredge sitting in front of the Dredge supreme court waiting for it defense attorney to get the charges of killing dredge thrown out so that he can go out and kill more Dredge, what a goddamn fighting, battling, combat machine Varl.

No but seriously, the war mechanic is something we're familiar with by this point, and we do have some little encounters with choice, and presumably consequence along the way. However, by and large, this episode of Let's Play The Banner Saga consists of a focus on the tactical combat section of the game, and also the riding around with your caravan with your banner swaying in the wind, and less so the talking to people about the story and the characters, and me doing silly voice acting.

I mean, I still do the silly voices, they're just on the little pop-up windows and not on the semi-animated cinematic cutscenes. Which I guess reduces the impact of the story, but there isn't much story in this episode. Well, just let my goofball strategies and tactical maneuvering be enough for now. We'll get on with the rest of the plot with Ludin and his cronies, and Hakon being a badass soon enough. Actually, Hakon is still a badass. Nothing will take that away from him.
