Ten Tips for New Players - Expeditions: Viking Tutorial / Guide 

Wait, a guide that doesn't ramble or waste time? Who are you, and what have you done with my internet?

This is great advice, i know i'm 3 years too late but there is very little guides out there! Thanks for the tips, especially the harry/backstab option and ambush/shield option!

I felt like I learned how to play a game about Vikings from a guy descended from Vikings.

Wow, straight infos without wasting too much time. I'm impressed and grateful. Keep up the good work, pal!

Thanks for making this, very useful :)

Yooooo that hurried combo with the rock is a game changer. Thank you so much!

damn so I started this game now and I was looking for tutorials and tips especially for crafting and I find you with on point tutorials and stuff like that (weird is that this game dosent have so much cloud on youtube maybe because is more realistic and not victorian fatasy vikings).you do a great job and happy to subscribe to your chanel

You seem like a cool dude, thanks for making this video

So, i got the game and as a total noob i went for a badly optimized full melee dane axe fighter. I am next to no use to my party if there is even a single archer around and still don't do enough damage for my liking. I want to restart, and of all thing I've gotten my eye on a dual-wield dagger build+poison, kinda like a lightly armed berserker that has a few tricks up the bear fur. To you or anyone who whishes to respond, is such a build even viable?

Has it really been four years?! Time toys I suppose, I remember when you started your first playthrough. Every time you started battle you'd put on your helmet, after you attacked that wedding your character got Ptsd and became more peaceful. I recently got EV on steam Black Friday sale, I WISH you could use nonlethal on enemies and make them thralls! Seems RU-vid unsubscribed me from you? Odd.

Thanks mate, just got back into it after a couple years and forgot entirely how to play. This was good solid how-to and tricks vid.

Great work-very helpful.Thanks.

I'm a straight man but i have to say that that helmet is sexxy AF.

Thanks for this I totally made a terrible character at the beginning and had a hard time in Ribe. 2nd go around much better.

Great video! I should've watched this BEFORE i played. Guess I'll have to play again

Thank you for your easy to understand presentation. Your video series helped persuade me to purchase the game and it's currently downloading as I re-watch these tips. Can't wait to get started!

Thanks

Thanks for the video, gave me more insight in the game than most reviews i watched and therefore the last push to buy it now. (Btw, nur noch 3 Monate bis Bannerlord \o/)

good job tnx

What a great video, Horath! So clear and precise. Great work. Will definitely check out your other videos :-)

At minute 5: you're talking about using the throwing rock skill and not wanting to hit. A way to game that is to have the required strength to use throw (4 minimum) but it's a ranged ability so it governs off your perception. so if you have a rather low perception you won't hit as often. Meaning you're more likely to get your damage buff of 50% the way you're doing it. However, dumping your perception down to 1 may be catastrophic in the long run in some conversations and such. But if you're going for a strictly "crush all before me" type build, I'd assume it might help.

This was fantastic. thank you for taking the time to make this!

bought the game few weeks ago, this guide is really helpful!

Thanks that was really helpful

How do we go about improving our reputation with specific party members? I'm guessing trial and error--some prefer these sorts of actions, some prefer those sorts of actions. Do you know which characters prefer which sorts of things?

Spend a few days with casually playing through with no prior knowledge to the game or franchises before it. - Love the game, but I have been so stuck due to the very very limited tutorial all around. This was absolutely fantastic for me. I'm gonna create a new playthrough and thoroughly enjoy all aspects of the game in this playthrough. - I would beg for more tips though, I hope you're up for it. - People that come to your channel, watching the game would really really benefit from it! Great job Horath Drak. You will forever linger in my memories with this game, due to how big a part of my experience you have been with understanding it. I am so tempted to watch your playthrough for more tricks, but I want the story without spoilers so I am in a great dilemma you see! Cheers mate, from Denmark!

The Daneaxe skills need a buff in my opinion; they're severely outclassed by dual wielding, unfortunately.

Fun and great tips too! Thanks. 🙂🥦🦖

My game started in insane difficulty preset, that's not normal is it? If it's not. What should I put it on? Thanks

Does anyone know how to remove followers from your group, or if its possible at all? Great tutorial! Really helped to get into the game, thanks :D

Yes... love your tutorials!!.. I couldn't watch much of the playthrough due to wanting the story to be fresh.. as always, great videos

I bought the game, I could not even step outside the main door without it crashing all the time, can someone tell me(help) with this issue plz

Very helpful tips. Thanks

How did you get 3 upgrade to danish axe at character creation ? It's blocked at 2 upgrade until you spend 100 points.

Very useful. Many thanks!

Thanks for the vid! Can I heal my party members somehow without having to go to one of the 'camp' sites on the map ?

Thanks for the video! If you were to build Ragnar Lodbrok (or Lothbrok, not sure which is correct), how would you stat him and what skills would you give him?

Is this game as buggy as the steam reviews make out? It does look fun so I'll probably buy it anyway. Destiny is all.

Hey, so I came across your videos trying to find one thing: How the hell does the sword skill 'execute' work?! I use it, nothing happens on the next turn, I'm sure i'm missing something...

Great vid... very helpful

My main character morale is getting lower and lower, is it a bug?

I wish this level of functional and helpful awesomeness was considered NORMAL instead of being so very noteworthy. You've earned a new sub today!

Excellent tutorial, exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you so much great video great game !!

Your LP convinced me to buy this game. Enjoying it so far, though there's a lot more to it than I thought.

Soooo helpful!!!!

Hey Horath, is there any new main quest after tomb raider quest ? My game seems stuck no more new quest after that..

Thanks for this tutorial. It's very helpful for a beginner like me. Being a beginner, do you suggest I play with the default hard difficulty? Or should I switch to medium difficulty?

Great Helmet, and ty for vid's

Does bonus resource get when salvaging equipment requires the thegn to have the repair skill? Or anyone can have it?

EDITED: Damage formula is as follows; Damage attribute * Corresponding weapon skill = Skill based damage (Variable weapon damage adds on top as well as "base damage" explained below). Endurance and shield skill block chance works the same way. Weapon damage additionally got a base damage which is entirely based upon your attribute *3. Some encounters has become easier due to this change and some has gotten harder. Character builds haven't changed much, though, as going for 8 rather than 10 is still a very viable options since you don't lose more than 16 damage at max skill. Example; 1. Str 8 End 8 Fin 3 Per 6 Sen 4 (8*skill level= Strength skill based damage) + (8*3=24 base damage) + (weapon) 2. Str 10 End 8 Fin 1 Per 6 Sen 4 (10*skill level= Strength skill based damage) + (10x3=30 base damge) + (weapon) 3. Str 8 End 10 Fin 1 Per 6 Sen 4 (8*skill level =Strength skill based damage) + (8*3=24 base damage) + (weapon) These are all very viable Leader characters without huge weaknesses. These numbers can obviously be switched around to make Finesse based or Sense based. Perception 6 adds 50% Armor Penetration through "Keen Eye" skill, which virtually adds more damage than any other skill against the tougher opponents. I consider it a must for all Hird members that are damage dealers.

You'll make a great jarl or earl no doubt also thanks for putting this up it really helps me understand the game more

I just want to restart the game.

You are very good at explaining! thanks

I honestly do not get the game. I played it for several hours, finished all the quests I found, build several things in Skerne and now I am stuck with nothing to do. So I figured I'd need to wait for the timer to run out in order to have the ability to travel to Britain but I get "Game Over" So I tried it again, this time talking to literally everyone in Skerne and Ribe finding another quest so I did that and I waited again, Nothing I once more get Game Over. I don't know if this is a bug or some shit but I am seriously stuck, if anyone got a clue what you have to do once you finish all prep Quests, do feel free to help me, I really like the game and no walkthrough is where I am at yet, so I am seriously stuck.

This has really helped. Good job and many thanks!

Thank you for making this, keep it up.

Good help ,thx for !

Thank you for taking the time to do this. Great tips!

You sir are a very well skilled presenter!! I am moving you to the top of my subscribed list!!

an actual useful guide without any wasted time. thanks. it didn't really teach me something new, but it showed me that what I came up with myself was correct

Dschörmänn Accent;-)

yeah let's be honest, I created a really great archer, then upgraded myself and Ketill. Between us, Nefja's OP spear skills, and Gunarr's amazing axe skills, all I needed was a bloke with a dane axe so I could rip away the enemy's shield and kill them in one hit. Then I buffed Roskva so that I could use her as an archer too (worst case scenario). Basically unstoppable.

what is stellaris

Thanks buddy for another good tips video.

do ep 10 or is to much sorry i love this game i wish i cud play i would play 24/7 hours a day i know i hardly sleep im bored every hour im bored only games calm me

JAAACKPOOTT

Awesome game! Just one REALLY big issue. I hate time limits in rpg's. Can't play this with a time limit. I like to do stuff in my own pace.

Thanks

Noice game, thx for the Tipps!

Hey thank you for the guide, well done!

Excellent video. Subbed.

Some good tips, cheers

skuli is god I killed him but he managed to survive with 1 hp and zi couldnt go for the archer. I wasnt using good gear. Tip is go for resistance(Leadership) / Get armor

@Horath Drak (and any player looking at 'Expeditions: Viking' videos and seeking ideas and advice) - a QoL tip #1: Set 'highlight all loot items' keyboard binding (default *Left Alt* ) to the *Caps Lock* key (as either primary or secondary binding) in order to turn it into toggle control. This way, instead of cramping a finger by constantly having to press and hold *Left Alt* (or having to remember to press it every time you are searching for loot and inevitably missing things or forgetting to check at all), you can toggle highlights *on / off* as you wish, and leave it *on* when scouring an entire map for loot you may have missed. It avoids any frustration, annoyance, or having to return to a location just because you may have missed checking for, or collecting an item. If choosing to toggle 'highlight loot items' on whilst exploring, you only need to remember to toggle it on again (by pressing *Caps Lock* again): 1. each time you enter a new 3D location from the 2D world map, 2. enter and exit an interior area within that location (town, village, forest, marsh, etc.), or 3. relaunching the game and loading or reloading a save. Basically, you need to reactivate the toggle after each instance resulting in a loading screen (including the loading an exterior / open area of the map, or the interior of a building) - because they automatically deactivate your 'toggle loot highlights on.'
