Let's Play The Banner Saga [Part 17] - Mogr is Bestgr

Alright Banner Saga, I already apologized for saying you didn't have any meaningful choice and consequence. You proved me wrong, but you don't have have to rub it in my face. Seriosuly it feels like Studio Stoic really went all out with the gameplay effects of narrative choice in The Banner Saga.

It's an interesting thing to see, although I feel like the core gameplay is maybe not as good as it could have been. The combat encounters are all starting to blur together. I feel like I'm the one on a campaign! Only, instead of having great morale and tons of Varl, I just have a sleep deprivation to keep me company.

Enough ranting about things that have nothing to to with the contents of the video. This is a Let's Play of The Banner Saga. Stuff happens, but I can't really get into it in this description without spoiling the story, so I wont. What I will say is that Mogr is a goddamn badass the likes of which has not been seen since that time Clint Eastwood played Batman. What's that? Clint Eastwood never played Batman? Well then I guess Mogr is just straight up the most badass. Except for Hakon. Hakon is more badass because he's Hakon, but we've already established that. Why are there no female Varl in The Banner Saga though have you ever thought of that? What the heck Stoic?

But anyway, as much as I was complaining about repetitive gameplay earlier, this episode features a new and unique combat encounter in a unique setting as well. There are even some obstacles on the battlefield. Fancy tactical combat there, Banner Saga. I mean, it's a tower with Dredge at the top, and then we save a guy from it. He's unconscious and pretty crazy. Griss is pretty cool too. I didn't give him enough credit. Seriously, there's not much I can say about this episode without spoiling it. It's very plot heavy, and quite important to the overall narrative of The Banner Saga so don't read this and just watch the Let's Play instead.
