They offer a ton of serer options to play how you want to play. Of course that’s only applicable if you’re playing on a public server, and this is where I give Funcom credit. Unfortunately, this means that a lot of other characters will be around you ready to murder you. The first oasis you come across will be where you set up for a while until you get familiarized with the game and gain a levels. The more you explore, build, gather resources and fight the more XP you get to gain levels which unlocks higher tier items. The next one will be to create an axe and pickaxe to harvest wood and rocks. For example, some of your first quests is to gather enough resources to build a fire and a bed roll to save your progress. What I mean by that is they essentially give you a list of objectives and unlocks you should have that correlates to your character level. From here the help essentially stops and you’ll be left with your own devices to build and explore. The survival aspects begin immediately with you needing to drink to quench your thirst and quickly find a water source to drink from and refill your waterskin. Once you’re in control of your character there is a brief tutorial area that gives you some basic controls and an extremely important waterskin. Random NPCs can grant you access to certain religions. You’re then saved, by whom I presume is Conan, to then start your journey of survival. The game starts with you customizing a character who has been exiled out in the desert up on a stake to die. No, he unfortunately does not voice any characters. Yes, the Conan the Barbarian universe from the Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. A game with a ton of survival game features, but is so bloated that only the most patient.Ĭonan Exiles, if you didn’t gather by my first paragraph, is a survival game set in the world of Conan the Barbarian. This is the constant loop you’ll find yourself in with Conan Exiles.

I need a skinning blade, but before I can obtain said skinning blade, I need to reach a certain character level and obtain a handful of other upgrades and prerequisite crafting stations. I’m killing deer after deer, hyena after hyena before realizing I can’t obtain their hides just by using my axe. Makes sense, can’t tan hide without the hides themselves.

Alright, I bash up some more trees, smash in some more rocks, finally have enough to build it only to learn that I need to skin some leather hides off of some animals. I open my new crafting station and realize that I need tanned hides to create a basic leather armor set, but to do that I need to create a leather tanning station. I use my resources to craft the armor station and place it on the outside of my house that I also built from scratch. So here we are again, just chopped down enough trees to gather five hundred pieces of wood, mined three hundred pieces of rock and gathered enough twine from tree leafs to finally build my armor crafting station.
