AoC "Rise of the Godslayer" Video Overview from PAX 2009

Posted September 6th, 2009 by Ethec

Why Godslayer might breathe new life into Age of Conan's post-Tortage experience.
Godslayer_1

Age of Conan Game Director Craig Morrison takes us on a stunning visual tour of Khitai, the Far Eastern styled setting for Rise of the Godslayer. Players will begin their Khitai experience in the 20-40 range, possibly making this the perfect bridge to the endgame for those that found AoC's post-Tortage experience lacking.

Revel in the Sino-Korean inspired visuals, learn about a renewed emphasis on faction warfare in the expansion and the new alternate advancement system, and see the capstone of the Khitai experience: a tiger or wolf pet that can be tamed for a pet or used a mount as part of very compelling multi-part quest. It's all in this no-CG, in-game video only demo with Craig Morrison from PAX 2009!

Bah and here's me trying to get this ultra slow connection to stay solid for more than 90 seconds - damn I wish I was in a country where the internet wasn't considered witchcraft and science fiction.

Looks great!

Good to see AoC is exploring new turf. Some of the mechanics they are going with sound interesting as well and something AoC needed. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.
