HAVE YOU SEEN CROM’S LONG LOST IN-GAME FEATURES?
- AVATAR:
Here is an interesting development. Based on an interview with one of Conan Exiles devs Joel Bylos back during the games early development period, it would seem that Crom was originally slated to have his own avatar, which functioned in a manner unique to the others. Crom was to be a defensive avatar who would have the ability to kill enemy avatars. He would do this by striking them with lightning. Perhaps this idea was latter replaced by God Bubbles. Although I can imagine how much a lot of our PvP community like to get a hold of this feature. The Crom avatar has yet to be formally confirmed by a member of Funcom, so for the time being, take it with a pinch of salt. I have reached out to a CM to confirm or deny this information, however all quiet on the reply front thus far. If there are any devs or CMs who can shed further light on this subject, I openly encourage you to post here. But for the time being I will let you all watch and make up your own minds.
That said here is a link to the interview with Joel Bylos (at around the 33:00 minute mark), and some further details of it being discussed in a thread on the forum:
- PURGE CREATURE:
During the first community Mailbag iteration of the Dev Stream, Jens Erik touched upon this unrealised feature. It would seem that there was originally also plans to allow the player to pray to or call upon Crom, which it would (excitingly enough) result in a powerful creature spawning in to attack the player, like a mini Purge of sorts. The details can be found at the 42:40 mark.
