Bump, and profiled. In today's Dev Q&A on Twitch Osborne stated he really wanted to do a linear timeline, so the more we push this the more we can see it become a reality.
glad to hear that!

I've been playing through the timeline for a while now on my iron man, and while it is technically very good, it is a little awkward due to the gameplay. Primarily, in the very first section, there's a 49 smithing req (Tears of Guthix). For ironman, there's also the issue of acquiring an agility potion for Tai Bwo Wannai Trio, and the high combat in the Troll quests (compared to the rest of that section).
If a player already has the stats required to do every quest, then yes, this is a perfect timeline. But going from location to location as the timeline suggests simply isn't feasible in terms of gameplay, at least in the order shown here.
Yeah, I agree. I kinda wish I had put a higher priority on skill reqs when initially making it, but in the end, I had made it for a playthrough which, as you said, already had all the quest reqs.
Still, the bits of info peiced together throughout the first few pages is the important part to me. It's nice to hear Osborne is looking to make a linear timeline. If he does, I hope he keeps those little things like diary dates, NPC reactions, and quest references and status changers in mind.
You can only fully appreciate a story when you experience it through the eyes of one of its characters.

Hmm, so quite clearly Lord of Vamp**ium takes place in the 5th age, I remember it being said before release anyway, but the reasons are quite apparent within them.
I'll have to remember that when doing the GQM playthrough of it, gotta wear my 5th age outfit for Apmeken
