In today`s post, we`ll talk about one particular aspect of the gameplay of Might & Magic X – Legacy: the Dragon Blessings.
在今天的帖子里，我们将介绍魔法门十：传承里的一个特性——龙神祝福。
If you played the early Might & Magic games, for instance World of Xeen, you probably remember there were forest, mountain and water tiles you could not enter without a specific skill: Pathfinder, Mountaineer or Swimmer. This was probably one of the best and most memorable features of the games, and one we really wanted to bring back in Might & Magic X – Legacy.
如果你玩过早期的魔法门游戏，特别是席恩世界的话，你可能记得那里有森林、山脉和水，要穿越这些格子，你需要有特殊的技能：寻路、登山和游泳。这可能是游戏里最好也是最令人印象深刻的特性之一了，也是我们特别想要加入魔法门十：传承里的特性。
Unfortunately, it wasn`t possible to redo it exactly the way it was done back then: the first difference comes from the way skills are handled in MMXL, much closer to the skill systems of Might & Magic VI to IX. In MMXL what we call a “skill” can be improved by spending points and seeking trainers.
不幸的是，直接按照原来的方式重做一遍技术上不太可能，魔法门十里的技能系统更接近魔法门6到9代的系统。在魔法门十里，技能的升级需要寻找训练师进行训练，然后投入技能点以加强。
Since abilities like Pathfinder and Mountaineer are more like on/off switches, we decided to put them in a separate category: rather than “skills”, they became what we eventually called “Blessings”.
而像寻路者和登山者这种能力更需要能够自由开关，我们决定将它们放在一个独立的分类里：不是技能，它们最终被称为“祝福”。
The Blessings are received from the Elemental Dragon Gods of Ashan (click here to learn more about them). For instance the Blessing of Sylanna, Dragon Goddess of the Earth, is the equivalent of the old Pathfinder skill.
祝福是由亚山世界的元素龙神们授予的。比如大地之龙神西兰纳的祝福，就相当于原来的寻路技能。
Another problem we encountered came from the visual representation of the game`s world. It`s easy to walk on a forest tile when the trees are just 2D sprites - in a 3D world, where objects have volume and the ground is not necessarily flat, it becomes much more complicated.
我们遇到的另一个问题是游戏世界的视觉表现效果。当游戏里的树木是2D的时候，穿越森林格子很容易。但是在3D世界里，当目标对象有实际的体积，且地面又非平整的时候，就会变得很困难。
That`s why in MMXL dense forests and mountain areas are closed off by special “seal” tiles that can only be passed through if the party has the corresponding Blessing. Walking on water still works the same way as it did in the old games however (although you cannot walk where the water is too deep).
这就是为什么在魔法门十里，密集的森林与山脉地区被特殊的“封印”格子所关闭，只有当你的队伍有某些对应的祝福时才能穿过。穿越水面格子的方式和以前一样（当然太深的水面是不能穿越的）。
There are six Blessings in the game, and they are obtained in a dungeon called the Elemental Forge by restoring the ancient altars and completing various challenges to prove your worthiness. The Forge is a dungeon you`ll have to return to several times, as you discover how to restore each altar. Three of the Blessings are necessary to complete the game, the other three are just meant to make your life easier.
游戏中有六种祝福，它们可以在一个称作元素熔炉的地下城里，通过恢复远古祭坛并完成各式各样的挑战以证明你的价值后获得。熔炉是一个你需要进入多次的地下城，你需要逐步探索恢复每个祭坛的方式。有三种祝福是完成游戏所必须的，另外三种则会使你的游戏过程变得更加轻松。
That`s it for this short introduction to the Dragon Blessings, and we hope you`ll have fun trying to unlock them during your adventures in the Agyn Peninsula.
这是对龙神祝福的一个简短介绍，我们希望你能够在艾金半岛的冒险旅途中尝试解锁它们。
