The second content update for the kingdom simulation game Noble Fates is here. The Bandit update features bandits, a new quest system, and support for mods via the Steam Workshop.
Bandits have found a way to earn money by robbing and stealing from the inhabitants of Noberia. They will steal anything they can get their hands on and it is up to you how you’re going to deal with them. You can either pay them a sum to stop bothering your kingdom or drive them away so that they will never return again.
There’s also a new quest system where you will see an exclamation point above your inhabitants’ heads. The mortals accosted by bandits may seek your help in recovering their belongings.
The game now supports the Steam Workshop as well. You can use the workshop to browse and subscribe to your favorite mods directly from the Steam client. Moreover, you can upload or update your mods via the new in-game mod management interface.
