Legends Of Valour

Legends of Valour is an interesting role playing game from my youth. It is basically a free roaming game that allows you to choose your character’s outcome. It is set in medieval times and allows you to explore a very large and seemingly endless city. Here there are various shops, bars, clubs, and temples to explore. There are also many people to converse with, pickpocket, or kill. I never really figured out the true purpose of the game but I usually came back to it just to have some fun.

To start the game you choose your character. Your choices are from either a man, elf or dwarf. After choosing other various attributes you can start the game. To make progress in the game you can go around and find different interesting groups to join. These groups dictate the outcome of your character and define his attributes. What you choose is important because it is how you make money increase your skills. You use money to keep yourself alive and rent rooms or buy equipment. The group you join will help you do that by giving you certain skills. For instance, if you join a sorcerer’s cult you have certain magical powers you can develop and you go from there. You can join a pickpocket group and use your skills to obtain money that way. Also, you can join the guild which is part of the police of the time.
After a certain amount of time passes in the game, I usually became bored and started beating up random people and taking their money. If you decide to follow this route then you will suffer the fate of being a wanted man and the authorities will be on the look out for you. If you have worked your way up in a certain group sufficiently then this shouldn’t be a problem. Otherwise if you are not skilled enough this could turn out to be a problem.
One of the usual directions the game takes for me is to explore some of the various dungeons. Here I would walk around a pick up various treasures, potions, and weapons. But the best part of the dungeons was the variety of creepy creatures. There are werewolves, vampires, gnomes, and many other creatures to fight and take whatever magical power they happen to carry. When I usually degenerated to this stage in the game I was quickly killed as these creatures can be very powerful. But otherwise, this was a very enjoyable game that I am looking forward to picking up again. This time I am going to search the internet to see if I can find the ultimate outcome of the game and then achieve those ends.
