Hope you're all doing splendidly as always.
We've been getting a lot of new eyes on the game lately, which is absolutely fantastic to see.
If you're reading this and you're new to our story-driven, high-fantasy world, Hello! Happy you found us :)
With that in mind, I wanted to take some time to clarify how story progression works in Vahrin's Call, as questions about how this works in our game are pretty common.
Most of you have probably heard us refer to the game as "semi-open" by now, but what does that actually mean?
Well! In Vahrin's Call you'll have a wide range of interesting areas to traverse on your adventure.
Some areas in the game are open, offering you the chance to discover hidden treasure, unlock new skills and spells, take on side quests and more. The sprawling farmlands of South Vale is a good example.
Other locations in the game provide more linear, dungeon-like experiences.
These serve to progress the main story and push you further into the city's depths.
The crumbling caverns of the Aeternyte Mine, for example, are one of the key areas that will advance the main narrative and grant you access to other parts of the world.
With this in mind, how you choose to explore all of these areas is entirely up to you.
If you want to run through the open areas and load straight into the locations that focus on the main quest, then you're absolutely free to do so.
Alternatively, if you're like me and can't move on until you've searched every square inch of an area first, then feel free to spend as much time exploring as you like. There are many things to discover off the beaten path, after all!
Finally, you won't need to be concerned about side quests only being available for a limited time.
I know some of you were worried that after progressing a certain amount through the main story, certain side quests would no longer be available to accept. That's not the case though. All side quests in the game can be started and finished at any point. so if you would like to focus on the main story initially and check out side quests later down the line, you can do just that!
And that will conclude today's post!
I know some of you likely already had a good understanding of how the story progression and quest system works in Vahrin's Call, as it's something we've covered in the past, but I hope you learned a thing or two from this read nonetheless.
Wishing you all a lovely rest of your week, and we will catch you again next Friday!
Cheers all.
