准备工作已结束。卢博米尔和他的小队已全副武装，正等待你的命令。再最后看一眼你的村庄吧……自从你初到卡维尼亚那天起，这里发生了多大的变化啊——从最初隐藏在森林中的几间破败小屋，如今已发展成一个大型村庄，几乎算得上一座城镇了，有城墙保护，商人和工匠们在此忙碌穿梭。这里已成为你的家。它会在你归来时等候，但现在是时候踏上新的旅程了。你转向众人，说道：“出发！前往哈尔马雷群岛……”

哈尔马雷群岛 哈尔马雷群岛是我们全新的探险地图，它带来了全新的环境、新任务、洞穴、新兴趣点、新生物和资源。这是一项极具挑战性的技术与玩法任务，我们为此感到无比自豪。我们的游戏、关卡、叙事设计师以及环境和技术美术师们都在不断挑战自我，突破极限，力求打造出全新的独特体验。哈尔马雷群岛全面提升了游戏水准，拥有更广阔的城镇、更高的视觉质量、更出色的光照效果以及更丰富的叙事体验。当你探索这座岛屿时，会发现多个派系都在争取“造钟匠”的协助，而你的每一个选择都将至关重要。角色自定义 在角色扮演游戏中，没有什么比创建自己的角色更具标志性的了——可能是通过掷骰子来分配属性点，更换8位纹理，或者在《贝尔莱特》中，深入我们全新角色创建器里的数百种自定义选项。无论你想象中的贝尔莱特是逼真的自己，还是像个桥 troll，现在都能将其变为现实！与此同时，卡维尼亚和哈尔马雷群岛的所有居民也将拥有更多视觉多样性，包括独特的派系外观，并且随着时间推移，关键剧情角色也将获得独特的外观更新。

商队与贸易 中世纪题材与经济系统向来是相辅相成的。无论你是想成为庞大贸易帝国的核心，还是仅仅希望为你的士兵配备卡维尼亚所能提供的最精良装备，贸易与后勤都是你叛乱成功的关键。本次更新对游戏中几乎所有经济系统进行了改进与扩展。 小型商队驿站能让你建立贸易路线并制造运货马车。拥有“商队队员”职业的村民会装载马车，根据你设定的规则，从你的前哨站运送和取回资源，并与友好村庄进行资源买卖。随着你逐步解放卡维尼亚，村庄将开始自主发展，建立自己的产业，产生新的需求并提供可供购买的新商品。你与村庄的贸易往来越频繁，它们的繁荣程度就越高，你挣脱奥塞妮女王枷锁的机会也就越大。 防御工事 与贸易类似，城墙是我们希望呈现的整体沉浸式中世纪美学的关键元素，我们很高兴终于能将其加入游戏中。我们已经看到了一些使用城墙的出色设计，它们确实以一种前所未有的方式将村庄凝聚在一起。除了贸易系统外，城墙还增加了额外的战略复杂性，让你能够更可靠地防御前哨站，确保那些宝贵的资源不会被土匪或强盗掠夺。
