The Tome of Knowledge: To add to the lore, Mythic has included a system called “The Tome of Knowledge,” and I loved it. It’s basically an in-game encyclopedia that holds your quests and describes different monsters, lands and other bits of “Warhammer” goodness; the tome brings a whole new element for those taking the time to learn more about the world. It pleased me to see that Mythic is paying attention to the “Warhammer” fanboys by including surveys about the lore and not just the gameplay. This encouraged me greatly about the direction of the game.

Altdorf is cool and BIG: Altdorf, the capital city of the Empire, is huge and takes up its own zone. I spent an hour or two running around the place, kicking the tires and discovering some interesting stuff. I saw and killed a Skaven with the help of some nearby players. Then, I finally found a PvE instance in the game. Oh, I ran into this…

For a fanboy this made the entire experience worth it. “Greater Daemon of Nurgle one day I will defeat you!” With 23 of my closest friends, of course.
