For those playing the games for the first time, would you say the Banner Saga is a different experience when played as a whole, rather than split into three parts?
Banner Saga is most definitely a more full experience when played as a whole. It won’t be understood as well if the person comes into the story in chapter 3 without playing 1 and 2 first and we’re really not trying to slow down for new players. We throw them into the deep end here. Kinda rough for me to say that as it may dissuade some from buying Saga 3 (like they should!), but it is what it is. It should be played as a trilogy. If people are like me though, they’ll wait for the conclusion to binge on all three without having to wait between. Saga 3 will soon be out, so just get the whole trilogy and have at it!
