Part 81: AN's Bonus Update #4--He Talks About Armor!

I'm gonna go ahead and post part 2 of the equipment list now, we're moving faster than expected as we approach the completion of the LP. Cool endings this time around, I like the final screenshot for "Those Who Keep the Oath". Could be either one of the epic badasses who had the final duel standing up there, depending on your interpretation. The other two endings are obvious clip shows. Me no like.

Quick poll- do you guys want the last two parts of the list together or as separate posts? They're Accessories and Items if anyone cares. I'll tally the votes after Leave updates and then post the result. My two favorite alternate endings (and favorite line) should be in the next update, so I'm excited.
