Broken Roads Devs Unveil Character Archetypes on First of Four Videos
Drop Bear Bytes has launched a new series of Broken Roads trailers, featuring playable character archetypes. First up was Hired Gun, or mercenary.
Isometric RPG Broken Roads, which may appeal primarily to fans of the first Fallout games, is to be released in two weeks. Drop Bear Bytes is trying to increase interest in the upcoming game with more videos - this time the creators have prepared a series of short videos introducing character archetypes.
At the beginning of the adventure in post-apocalyptic Australia presented in Broken Roads, the player will be able to choose one of four variants of the "origin story" (this solution is roughly analogous to the one we know from Larian games). They differ from each other in their past, unique attributes and starting skills. They also have their own reputation, which affects how the player's character will be reacted to by the NPCs they encounter. Choosing a particular character's archetype can therefore make a big difference. Nevertheless, it will of course be possible to modify individual stats to some extent in the character creator.
Today the developers released a video showing the mercenary (Hired Gun), who is good with firearms. You can see this short video below, and if you are interested in the other archetypes in Broken Roads - Barter Crew, Jackaroo and Surveyor - you will still have to wait for videos on them. They will probably be released in the coming days, before the game's launch.
It is worth mentioning in passing that some time ago the developers presented the process of creating a pub in Ardath in Broken Roads (image below). The location was modeled on a real pub in the same village in Australia, and you can read more about it here.

Recall that in Broken Roads the decisions made by the player will greatly influence the quests, the world or the attitude of the character we encounter. Thanks to an advanced moral compass system, the game can be completed without killing anyone.
Broken Roads will debut on November 14 on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S consoles and PCs. It will also be released on other consoles in the further future.
