Other The Banner Saga 1/2/3 Legacy Fixpacks by Drake, Yak and Nafeij

80 Upvotes

Hello, Nafeij here.

I have been added as a maintainer of a few mods by Yakkuz. Below are three recently updated mods that will fix several major bugs and typos, and add or enhance some minor content.

I've also included an optional addon for SSLTBS1 which activates Pillage Mode at the start of battles; for masochists who wish to experience the challenge of Survival Mode with the difficulty curve of the first instalment.

Please let me know if you encounter any other bugs, or just have suggestions for things you would like to see added to the game.

Additionally, you may track changes and contribute directly to the mod via the Github repo (under Mirrors). You can read the full patch notes in aformentioned repo.

Ciao!

Question (SPOILER FOR BS3) Am I hallucinating this ending? Spoiler

19 Upvotes

Hi all. I played through the series when I was quite young. I remember I got a batshit ending. I was very close to Abberrang surviving, but I misclicked and chose to retreat and I ended up running out of time, so Abberrang was overrun.

At the tower, I lost to Bolverk, so everyone died but Iver and Eyvvind. Eventually, I let Eyvind do his thing and he chose to take the deal, letting Juno die but with the Serpent consuming half the world.

This is the part I think I am hallucinating. I swear I remember there being a cutscene or some dialogue where Iver and Eyvind go back to Abberrang, and they find everyone dead. Is this true? I cannot find any youtube videos or websites confirming the existence of this ending, but I remember it happening to me. Is this a false memory or is there some unique dialogue if Iver/Eyvind survive but Abberrang falls?

Question [SPOILER] How rare is it to return to abberrang all 5 times, win all fights, and still have the abberrang party die? Spoiler

14 Upvotes

Scrolling through my achievements and it seems like I won the achievement where you return all 5 times and win all fights. But my crew at Abberrang still perished. How rare is this to happen? It seems even more shocking because in BS2, I unintentionally got the quartermaster achievement cause no one died from lack of supplies. Was I just monumentally stupid back then? I played on normal.

Question Unofficial Fixpacks Missing

17 Upvotes

Does anybody know what happened to the Unofficial Fixpacks (the ones mentioned in the pinned thread on the sub)? I just noticed they've all been delisted on Nexus mods and Github, and I never got around for downloading the one for the third game.

Discussion How come renow from achievements is a one time thing?

12 Upvotes

It punishes replayability because there is less theoretical renow and even reloading to an earlier save a week before the achievement makes it dissappear. Im just venting, I guess.

Other (Story time) How Mogr beat Bellower 1v4 and saved my challenge achievement Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
50 Upvotes

I came back to the first game over a decade after first playing it, and 6 years after completing the trilogy. I had forgotten a lot, but was determined to play through again with different choices, and more achievements.

The first two screenies show how I thought I was about to take out Bellower with Rook marking prey for the gang to strike, forgetting that I actually needed Alette to use an ability to progress the fight. I was confident, on hard mode, and about to beat the game without losing a fight. Sure, that was a silly mistake, but I can still do this.

Then I finally got to the second phase. And I got wrecked. Down to just Mogr, the tankiest varl, in a reverse pillage situation I had never been in. He had 0 willpower and 6 strength to strike at Bellower's 7. That's it. I lost. Bellower would regen armor and I wouldn't get that Challenge achievement.

BUT WAIT.

Mogr had an item to resist 1 str damage and only took 2 damage total, and the two healthiest dredge couldn't reach to hurt him (edit: Or maybe the slinger was in range but did no damage? I was unfocused because I thought Mogr was dead). The Stonesinger just started singing. Bellower also took armor damage from hitting Mogr.

That's it. He got the last hit in.

Standing on top of a pile of bodies, with 2 armor and 4 strength, Mogr is victorious. Forget Rook. Forget Alette. This story is about Mogr now.

Other Banner Saga: Fan Made Epilogues Spoiler

20 Upvotes

Decided to write a few more. Little less confident in these ones. Enjoy.

Krumr: The Oldest Varl (Krumr Lives)

After the sun began to move once more, Krumr set out to Einartoft. During his journeys, he would occasionally run into the odd bandit clan that'd taken sanctuary next to the godstones. He would soon run out of battles to rush into, forcing him to accept his fate of living out his golden years.

Krumr: The Myth Without End (Krumr Died)

Rumors exist of an old Varl randomly showing up in the middle of battles and wars to aid the losing side. One that, when described, sounds suspiciously like Krumr. Those who knew the old Varl joke about how even after getting lost in the darkness he was doomed to live a full life.

Ubin and Krumr Joint Addon Ending: Krumr's Victory (Krumr Lives, Ubin Lives)

Ubin lived a long and fulfilled life, bringing many stories that would have been long forgotten to the shelves of libraries. Though due to no Varl dying of old age before, people were unable to decide if he had died of old age or if it simply was illness that took him. After Ubin's death Krumr would be named the oldest Varl, much to his frustration.

Sparr: The Old Crow (Sparr Lives)

Sparr stuck with the Ravens for a few years after defeating the Serpent. Though his time with them was numbered after he met his match in the fields of love. An old lady who could 'sing' as well as he could from another mercenary band. They would eventually retire to a small village, living out their old age regaling the youngins with tales of both their bands.

Sparr: The Song Of Ravens (Ravens dead)

Despite the death of the Ravens Sparr's songs would continue to echo throughout the world. Even centuries later, the War Chant of the Ravens continued to be sung, keeping their tales alive. Though most believe the deeds spoken of in the songs to be of myth, not history.

Oli: The Drunk Valka (Oli Lives)

Oli would give himself the title The Drunk Valka. Whenever the Ravens would stop to rest, he would make bets with the locals that he could hit any target from any distance as long as he was drunk enough. Rumor has it that he hasn't lost a single one. The Valka Council has denied his Valka status numerous times.

Oli: The Forgotten (Oli Died)

Rumors abound of an ancient axe that when thrown always hits its target. It is believed to be the weapon of some long-dead god.

Other Banner Saga: Fan Made Epilogue: The Twins Spoiler

29 Upvotes

Everytime I finish a Banner Saga I'm slightly disappointed by the lack of Epilogues, so I decided to try writing a few. Feel free to critique.

Hogun: Lonely Twin (Hogun lives, Mogun Died.)

Hogun would make a shrine to his lost brother. At the start of each winter, when the sun reaches its peak, he pours out a cup of mead for his brother. He plans on naming his next son after Mogun.

Mogun: A Lone Twin (Hogun lives, Mogun Died.)

Mogun would continue to travel with the ravens. Scraping together whatever savings he could to give to Hogun's family. He would tell tales of his and his brother's time following Rook to Hogun's child.

Hogun and Mogun: One Whole (Both Hogun and Mogun Alive.)

When Iver returned to Arberrang, Mogun decided to leave the Ravens, despite his love for their way of life, he loved his brother more. After reuniting with his brother they would rarely be seen apart.
