![]() ![]() The Sims Medieval is a life-simulation game with action-adventure elements. You'll be able to choose your side when the adventure pack is released on August 30.Gameplay Main gameplay and objectives THE SIMS MEDIEVAL PIRATES AND NOBLES SERIESThe goal of the game is not necessarily to create your own story as you would in the main Sims series The Sims Medieval seems to be designed for those who need a little more guidance and direction while still maintaining an element of choice. The Sims Medieval: Pirates and Nobles looks to flush out the main game a bit by adding more involved quests and giving you choices in how you approach the story. You have to be cautious of the pit beast that can yank your sims into the hole they just dug because if your sims get caught, you'll risk losing quite a bit, including your sim. If you're not interested in digging (come on, who isn't?), then you can always leave your sims alone and they'll eventually get around to finding treasure on their own. Maps can be obtained through various means, but once you have one-and depending on your treasure hunting skills (that go up the more you hunt)-you'll be able to track down that special spot. Digging in sandy beaches could mean that you'll discover more pirate-y items like a pirate flag, but if you're shoveling dirt in the middle of a majestic forest, you might stumble upon some valuable artifacts. You can randomly dig in any location and hope that you come across something useful, or you can use an actual map. There are multiple shovels in the game, and some let you dig faster than others. But when you're successful, you can gain special items or that piece of information that you've been seeking.Īrmed with a shovel, you can dive into some backbreaking work to try to find something of value. There are some sims that actually like these methods of torture, so you'll have to adjust your tactics accordingly. ![]() Some methods include tickling with feathers, showing "something" from a box, attacking them with a chinchilla, or threatening them outright. You have to keep them alert, but you have to raise or lower their will to get the info by means of persuading or scaring it out of them. A will and alertness meter displayed will give you an idea of how you're doing. Interrogation is like a minigame of sorts, where you have to use different devious methods to get them to talk. The best way to go about it is to tie them to the interrogation chair. Of course, you can also feed, name, and pet your bird, as well as do all kinds of "normal" pet things.Īs you progress through the quests, you may be asked to retrieve some secret information from the locals. In our demo, we called a streampunk-themed mechanical falcon to our side and then sent it on its way. Some are rarer, and some are obviously only available if you explore one side of the storyline, but there are also special birds that you can assemble. You'll get whistles that call each parrot or falcon, and there are five of each in the game. We're told that parrots can bring back other treasures and trinkets, and because it doesn't cost you anything, you might as well put these birds to work. Falcons can also be directed to go off into the wild and hunt for you. OK, these birds can do more than that, but it is fun to send your avian friend toward an unsuspecting noble to harass him or her-just a little bit. Take the pirate-y approach if you wish to obtain the booty throne.ĭepending on whom you align with, you can have a pet parrot or falcon on your arm to attack people. Other than new story content, a host of elaborate noble or pirate outfits, and decorative new items, there are three main features that are worth highlighting in Pirates and Nobles. But if you're more of a loving, peace-keeping ruler, you may choose to not go with either and work out a peace treaty instead. ![]() ![]() As an add-on to this year's The Sims Medieval, the pack comes with 16 new quests added to the original storyline and gives you options to either band with the pirates of Aarbyville or ally yourself with the nobles of Tredony. At EA's recent Summer Showcase, we got our first look at The Sims Medieval: Pirates and Nobles, the new adventure pack set to come out later this month. ![]()
