I also started a new game of Hinterland, since a big update just came out. This time I took a Goblin Thief character (one of the ones added in the update) with it on medium difficulty and a medium map size, though with requests and raids turned off.

It was an extremely slow start, with no farmers showing up for a while, and as a goblin I started out with -5 fame, forcing me to go out and kill some monsters immediately to bring it positive or the king would fire me within five minutes. But after getting some decent townspeople and equipment, it’s falling back into the same kind of pattern as my first game.

The exciting stuff should happen tomorrow though, as some extra events are supposed to trigger on Hallowe’en…
