Riddle Of Steel DLC. Where Is The Rest Of It..?

Hi to everyone at Funcom.

Let me please begin by saying happy 1 year anniverary, and thankyou for both a wonderful game, and some exciting new anniversary content! I for one am delighted that you are doing the ‘Riddle of Steel’ DLC pack. As stated in a previous thread, Conan the Barbarian was a cult classic, a great gateway to the Conan Universe, and I really like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I am genuinely grateful for this addition, and I do not mean to come across as ungrateful, but the pack feels a little light or incomplete. I can think of several other items which could have also been added to this pack, but were omitted. For example, Thorgrim’s Warhammer, Valeria’s Valkyrie armour and the most noticeable absence; where is Conan’s Fathers Sword…!? (I think it was called The Draconian?). It has been requested in the past too. Considering that this is the Riddle of Steel dlc pack, and the term Steel primarily denotes weapons in this case, why are they not included here? I am sorry, I dont mean to mean to come off as a ungrateful, but the pack feels incomplete in its current state.

Please add the iconic Weapons and FULL sets of Armour. Im happy to wait a little longer. Pleeaaase…!! Does anyone else agree?

Well you know I agree with you there :wink:

For those who don’t know it, we’re talking about this iconic piece - I don’t know it by any other name than “Father’s Blade”, but anyway:

Thanks Mikey. I know it may sound silly, but I kind of feel a connection to this Sword. For Funcom, this is a heartfelt plea to add it in.

Not to sound ungrateful, but for a 7 EUR DLC, I kind of expect there to be iconic weapons from the movie, to be honest.

Doesn’t sound silly to me, I feel the same way about it really. But I’ve waxed lyrical on the subject before and won’t dilute this topic with another fanboy rant :smiley:

And just for the benefit of any who may not have seen it, here is Valeria’s Valkyrie armour.

Have you asked FUNCOM why “Jewel of the West” DLC does not incorporate any jewelry, because, you know, JEWEL :rofl:

Anyway I don’t see any ‘Riddle of Steel’ DLC on Steam and there is nothing on FUNCOM’s web-site.
How can you tell what will be inside the said DLC ?

Ahh you cheeky sod.

Based on a comment from Multigun in the link, it is due to be announced literally anytime soon during the livestream. There are links to the relevant sites in the other thread I created here:

Also its not in season 2 pack, should it be ?

No, the news release and articles covering it say this DLC is separate and is not part of Year 2 DLCs or the Complete edition of the game.

I am still blown away by this news. Like I said in your other thread… FML FML FML FML FML!!!

And to answer your current thread question:

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
i do agree.

Look, I too wish I could have everything for free but the people working on the unreleased DLCs and those who are making the free updates like the one we got yesterday need to get paid.

Riddle of Steel might look a little steep compared against the building core DLCs but you can think of it as “premium” content. Plus, it’s 35 placeables, not 25.
