Watch the Creation of a Hero in New The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes Gameplay Trailer

Every great adventure needs great heroes, and today, publisher Wild River Games is giving you a first-hand look at the creation of an adventurer in a new gameplay trailer for their upcoming action-RPG, The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes. Based on The Dark Eye tabletop pen and paper role-playing system, character creation in Book of Heroes follows a narrative process where a character’s design is more than just a batch of numbers, it’s also built around their backstory, wants and needs, and goals. Today’s video features the creation mechanics, with viewers being walked through the same process a player sees in-game. Watch as a mysterious fortune teller deals fate cards while asking questions of the would-be adventurer, determining their stats, skills, and story, based on these elements. ——————————————————————————————————- Book of Heroes is based on the massively popular tabletop RPG The Dark Eye, which is one of the most beloved pen-and-paper RPGs in Germany — right up there with Dungeons and Dragons!
