Let's Play The Banner Saga [Part 24] - Siege at Einartoft

Now here's an episode of Let's Play The Banner Saga which is jam packed with gameplay from beginning to end. Most of the gameplay is filler combat, I won't lie about it, but I feel like I need some practice given how horribly I've been doing in the the battles as of late.

In any case, the last episode was more narrative driven or story oriented or whatever you want to call it. There was Juno and that big giant worm that wants to eat the world and stuff. And Iver! He's hurt, but surely Eyvind the mender will help him! Oh how many characters The Banner Saga has...

But this video is nothing like the previous one. You thought part 24 would be with story, but it was me, gameplay! No but seriously, it's 90% filler combat in this episode. I mean, I'm pretty sure we had a few ways to skip the combat encounters entirely. We had the choice to just leave Einartoft to the Dredge, which is a terrible thing to do. We had the option to the treat the wounded instead of fighting on the bridge, too. However, I know The Banner Saga is a game of choice and consequence, where poor gameplay decisions can come back to bite you. It has happened to me in the past, and I've found that the combat is actually very rewarding in this game, so I thought it would behoove us to do some combat now.

Plus, it wouldn't feel much like a multi-day siege setting if we just sort of passed each day with the click of a button. Okay, that's about all I can say in defense of this episode of my playthrough of The Banner Saga. It's just combat gameplay. If you like the combat parts of this LP, then watch it. If not, then skip it. You're not missing much. But don't skip the next episode after this one. It's totally awesome. Trust me.
