The Realms of Arkania PC games, also known as the Northern Reaches Trilogy, are three RPGs based on the 3rd edition of The Dark Eye. They were developed by attic Entertainment Software and initially not planned to be released outside Germany, but due to the first game's success, it and its successors were translated into English and published internationally (by Sir-Tech in the US).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In the first part, Blade of Destiny (released originally in 1992, internationally in 1993), the player's party of adventurers is tasked to find a legendary sword, Grimring, in order to stop an Orc invasion. The objective of the second game, Star Trail (1994), is to find and deliver the Salamander Stone, a symbol for an alliance between Elves and Dwarves. Shadows over Riva (1997), the third part, has a more elaborate plot about Elf-Orc crossbreeds, a secret underground organization and telepathic worms.Gameplay takes place in three perspectives: First-Person Perspective (in pseudo-3D in Blade of Destiny) in towns and dungeons, Isometric Projection in combat, and a world map view when travelling (except in Shadows over Riva where travelling is not possible). The trilogy was and still is popular for its depth and complexity (owing to it being a relatively faithful conversion of the pen and paper system), its open world, immersive atmosphere and its plot.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A remake of the first game was released in 2013. A remake of the 2nd game was release in 2017. | |

Absurdly Low Level Cap | |
| Realms of Arkania (Video Game) / int_37f129db | comment |
Absurdly Low Levelcap: Simultaneously averted and enforced. On the one hand, you can theoretically rise to level 20, which is the status of a legendary hero (with all those maxed out stats and skills that come with it). On the other, the XP gain is so low that you'll never get there by ordinary means: while XP progression isn't particularly steep (in the German version, you need 100 XP for 1st level, an additional 200 XP for 2nd (which means 300 XP for level 2), an additional 300 XP for 3rd (which means 600 XP for level 3) and so on), as soon as you've fought a particular monster type more than once or twice, the XP gain is reduced to 1 XP for each character. All this makes sure that even a thorough completionist won't be more experienced than roughly level 6 (1500 XP) after the first game, and maybe level 9 (3600 XP) after the second. | |
