Lords of the Fallen protagonist - Harkyn | General information Lords of the Fallen Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
In the game's universe, nothing, not even the worst crimes, was punished by death. Criminals used to be sent to jail for their crimes. However, even after leaving prison, everyone could know about a former convict's dubious past. Each criminal has had a tattoo made on his face. Although in this world you can be released from prison or escape it, as the developers explain, but you cannot hide your face from everyone. One such man is Harkyn, who gets released from jail during the so-called recruitment. It is because the humanity needs protection from a demonic army of the Fallen God.
Harkyn arrives to the monastery with his mentor. The developers have been saying all along that the main hero is not going to be someone who has to prove himself. From the very beginning he is to be an experienced warrior, ready for any challenge. The creators have also been saying that Harkyn looks at the world in a different way than other people, which makes him not only a great protection from demons, but also someone who can discover the mystery behind the return of the Fallen God.
There will be three character classes available in the game. Warrior, mage, and rogue. Similarly to Darks Souls 2, class selection will not be as significant as in other cRPG-s. It will have an impact on basic statistics of the hero and his gear. Along with character progression, the player will be able to unlock any statistics. There is no problem to turn a mage into a warrior (and the other way round). As for limitations, when it comes to character creation, is sex. In Lords of the Fallen it will only be possible to play as a male.
Apart from character progression, it will also be possible to upgrade weapons. The basic element of crafting system are going to be runes, which may be removed from particular items at any moment. There is another thing that many players surely will like. No matter how many items Harkyn is carrying, his movement speed will only be influenced by those he is currently using.
