As we want to support fighting styles of all types we created some relic weapons other than swords such as axe, polearms and bows. Secondarily, we realized that there were almost no relic items that werenвЂ™t swords. Even if itвЂ™s stats may not be amazing it had some cool history behind it and maybe even the seeds of a quest for your party. Besides giving you an interesting item the relic background hail from all over the continent giving you a feel for the history and tales of the different regions. We wanted to make sure that when you found a relic item, either through a quest, in a monsters horde or as a plot point the item felt like it was a legitimate reward. Swords like Maugrim and Cleaverhood and armors like the Mountain Folk armor have no cannon background and thus we had to create backgrounds for them. Save for swords such as Unicorn and armor like RavenвЂ™s Armor there are very few relic items that actually have cannon backgrounds. This seems easy but it turned out to be surprisingly hard. To that end we sat down and wrote background for all the relic items we would have in the game. To some extent that wonвЂ™t change but we wanted to make sure that each relic item felt important. Or, even worse, being gifted titled weapons but already having a better one. Anyone whoвЂ™s played Witcher 2 or Witcher 3 knows the feeling of going to a smith or a merchant and selling off 2 or 3 titled weapons with magic abilities because you found better. In the video game relic items become the norm after a few levels. We have, however, spent quite a bit of time on the relic items in the Witcher RPG. Tweaking small things and writing descriptions for weapons and armor. Unfortunately there hasnвЂ™t been a developer note for a while as weвЂ™ve been hard at work and, to be honest, the work has been pretty mundane.

Things are coming along here at Talsorian.
