Lords of the Fallen storyline | General information Lords of the Fallen Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Lords of the Fallen is often described as a Polish Dark Souls. The developers themselves frequently said that they were drawing inspiration from games by From Software Studio. The major difference between the two titles, is story presentation. In Dark Souls players had to figure many things out on themselves, and the story was presented in a form of small pieces of information. In Lords of the Fallen this is going to be completely different. Players will decide, if they want to delve into the story or simply go ahead and focus on facing new challenges. Blazej Zywiczynski, one of CI Games producers, said in an interview given during this year's Gamescom, that each dialogue box has an option that allows to instantly terminate the conversation and continue the journey. On the other hand, talking to the same characters again, may result in getting new quests or revealing more information about the story.
The whole story started when the humanity rebelled against their god - using a trap, a man managed to kill him. With his last breath the god managed to raise his hand. Thus, a mountain range appeared, later called Hand of God Mountains. Humans thought that if they were able to kill a god, they could do anything. They planned to change the very human nature and create a world without violence. Even the worst crimes were not punished by death.
Eight thousand years later, the god raised from the dead and returned to the world of humans, with an army of demons. Unfortunately, mere humans are not able to put up an equal fight against this mighty enemy. In order to even the odds rulers of this world decided to release the most dangerous convicts, so they stood against demons and got a chance to, at least partly, redeem their crimes. One of the "chosen ones" is Harkyn, a man who probably committed every last crime he could. This is made shown by the fact his entire face is covered with tattoos that were made to criminals. Harkyn arrives to the monastery (one of three main locations in the game) together with his mentor and guide. The main goal of the protagonist is to defend this world. On his journey he will discover why the Fallen God raised from the dead, and will prevent the world from destruction.
