Yesterday, EA held a small Dutch event yesterday to show off The Sims Medieval. A number of Dutch fansites attended and their reports will slowly begin to trickle out this week. We have the first report in from DMS2C in which they shared their thoughts. Sadly, they were not allowed to take images.
The landscaping looks like an amazing picture, the makers created the landscape and the sims like they just walked out of a really old Medieval painting. This was done on purpose to give the game a different feeling then the normal sims games.
Although the game is based on doing quests to advance, you don’t need to do them if you don’t like, you can play the game how you want, of course you must do a couple of quests when the game starts, otherwise you can’t build your kingdom.
When you start it will be just your king or queen and when you progress through the quests you’ll get more sims to take care of or kill or course. There are 2 ways of playing the game, you can either be good or evil.
Unfortunately for the builders this won’t be your game, you can’t build anything new, there was no option in the menu to build your own castle. The camera doesn’t rotate 360 degrees either.
