Skilled players can use this to shore up weaknesses of their chosen race by mingling other bloodlines, at the cost of lowering some of their strengths in the process. If you wondered whether this also affected your stats somehow, you’d be absolutely correct. You can choose your parents lineage, and that of your grandparents too. That’s right you’re not limited to just being of one human race. All of these interconnected stats show just how detailed a character you can get, and that’s not getting into even more complicated features such as the lineage system. Height even influences your maximum health and stamina. Being thin makes you more dexterous at the cost of strength, but being overweight increases your intelligence – a life spent in luxury indeed.
Older characters will lose strength, dexterity, and constitution, but gain in psyche and intelligence. All of these things are connected to your stats in some way, which is impressive. You’ll even be able to select such minutiae as your height, weight, and age during character creation. While I had nothing to compare it to, it felt like my starting health, stamina, and mana were fairly average too. For example, the character I ended up making, a Sheevra – akin to a dark elf in most fantasy – had a bit less strength than other races, but made up for it with extremely high dexterity, a good amount of constitution and psyche, and a slightly higher than average intelligence. Five different human races, two Elvish archetypes, two bestial types, and a half-human orc hybrid are available, each with differing levels of the five basic stats. Everything is on display here ( male and female bodied example), so if you’re not a fan of such content in games, you may need to look elsewhere.Ĭharacter creation is quite extensive in Mortal Online 2. Men and women alike share in this, and it’s not how some companies handle it either. Violence is plenty, cannibalism is an option, and while there’s an option to disable it, nudity is available. With its closed beta testing still ongoing, I had a chance to give the game a whirl to see how well it could scratch that sandbox itch.įirst, a disclaimer: Mortal Online 2 is very much a mature game. Star Vault’s original Mortal Online sought to change that landscape back in 2010, and now, eleven years later in 2021, they’re about to deliver a cutting-edge sequel in the aptly named Mortal Online 2. The whole idea of starting with nothing and working your way through the world to become a force to be reckoned with is an ideal I know I share with plenty of other people.
I have a bit of a soft spot for sandbox games.
