There are going to be several major storylines to go through, all non-linear and offering a large degree of choice to the player. Every region (Cormac, Kvenland, Pyrrhenia, Wildlands, Sabag-Hirar) will have its own main quest, and at the end of each main quest line you will find a piece of information that will tie into a larger, world-spanning plot. You will be able to tackle the different main quests in any order, though, and are not forced to do Cormac first, then Wildlands, then Pyrrhenia etc. We prefer a non-linear approach to story design.
The world features several distinct cultures, each with their own religion, architectural style, clothing, government type etc. The depth of these cultures and how they all have a unique, unmistakeable identity that sets them apart from the others, is what makes the world of Realms Beyond special. We will post updates on the different cultures later during the campaign, so stay tuned for those!

We don't have any level scaling planned, everything is hand-placed in our game. Of course, there will be a natural progression based on region - the quests in Sabag-Hirar will be overall a little more difficult since it's the last region you're likely to visit, compared to the quests in Cormac which is the region you're starting in. But we don't want to have a world where just due to the order in which you visit the regions, the monsters are weaker or stronger: closer to civilization, you will find less dangerous areas, while deep in the wilderness you will find more dangerous areas. There will be high level dungeons in Cormac, too - the kind of dungeon you remember as being too hard to attempt now, and will return to tackle after you've gained a couple of levels elsewhere.
What the freedom of our structure allows for is that the player can tackle a questline that is above his level range if he wants to. It's going to be a lot more challenging, but you can attempt it anyway. The Wildlands is one of the most dangerous areas of the game, for example, and its main questline involves plenty of hard battles. Attempting it at low levels would be suicide, but if you really want to you can travel there right away after starting the game.
It's kinda like in Morrowind and its expansions: the Bloodmoon expansion adds a whole new island filled with high level enemies, but the player can go there at any point of the game, even at level 1. He's unlikely to survive, but the option is there. In Fallout 1, there are only three things a player has to do: get the water chip, destroy the military base, confront the Master. It's almost impossible to do only these main quests without doing any of the sidequests, because that will leave you severely underleveled, but if you want to go for a speedrun you can try it.
This is the kind of structurally open non-linearity we want to go for. Instead of rigidly forcing the player to do things in a certain order, we allow the player to jump around and tackle the major questlines in the order he sees fit.
It will be a lot of work for us to balance it properly, but we won't implement any kind of level scaling. That's completely out of the question since it ruins the integrity of the game world and kills some of the fun of exploring and leveling up.
Okay, this is biggest place for gaming news and collective interest in games made for rpg and not wanting to post here because you can just ignore them okay?? Be a mustwad and put people on ignore and focus on game posts instead to sell your game already look at kickstart with €44,898 of €100,000 of ecoin already in 4 dasy okay because that is very good I hope it continues and if making rpg do not bite the gamers tha pay you okay by saying this stuff on some other site because crew is always watching and if you walk the plank the sharks will get you so smarten up okay?? Okay! There good thing going right now so stop turning back on passion fans who support game there are lots here and not forget it I am looking for monument maybe it can be a mouse statue or something original but it does not say if they become custom or just a human statue but something to think about when you are running a kickstart but turning hobgoblin back on my friends is not okay!
