We've got a first look at the Bartuks, one of the three races found in the upcoming thriller Requiem: Bloodymare. Bartuks believe in family, honor and the daily spilling of their enemies blood. If you see a Bartuk warrior on the prairie, sword in hand, his eyes targeting a monstrous shape many times his size, rejoice. You're witnessing the Great Race for whom the word "fear" has no meaning.
You can find an outline of the Bartuk race and 12 screenshots below!
Race: BARTUK
Strength: High Strength and Solidarity
Weakness: Weak Spirit, Susceptible Minds
Characteristics: Bartuks are gifted with enormous physical power, but tend to be spiritually weak. They get easily enraged, a flaw that enemies sometimes exploit. Bartuks are generous to their allies, and fight alongside them with a strong sense of solidarity. Their decision-making process is simple: “help friend, smash enemy". Magic wielding Bartuks are generally limited to the black arts and fire magic, and they lack the intelligence to use more subtle magic.
Combat Style: Bartuks focus on strength-based weapon combat, foregoing shields in favor of heavy Two-Handed Weapons. Bartuk magic is usually limited but it is also unfamiliar to the other races, making it difficult for them to counter.
Relationship with Other Races: Bartuks have a deep seated hatred toward the Xenoas – they've been historically dominated by them. Bartuks can cooperate with the Kruxenas, but loathe everyone else.
