80 hours in, still not out of the starter area. 10/10.
Haven't played it myself but that sounds insane, what takes so long?
Its VERY dense. Both in terms of things to do and things to think about when building your character.
To be fair, I have very little dnd experience. Dnd vets probably have an easier time building their character/party.
The maps are huge and they do a fantastic job of turning, seemingly small tasks into lavish questlines.
I constantly find myself being like, "Ill just check out this little room in the back" Which turns into a 5 hour quest cause I discovered some button that opened a secret doorway behind a bookcase and took me to some whole new shit.
That sounds amazing.
Can't go wrong with a Wizard, a cleric, and a monk. Preferably a psionic monk. Once the wizard is level 5 anyway you will have no DPS issues, the monk can tank like a pro, and does a lot of DPS at lower levels. Cleric can be built to tank like a pro, and throw healing like mad.
Well first you need to pick a race, and build your character 7 times. Then you need to pick a class which leads to rebuilding your character more times. Of course then you realize that your main character stats and background would really be better a different way with a different class, which means you need to readjust your look.
And Ect for 80hrs
There is a respec option in the first area. You don't need to do this. :)
BUT MY GOLD hisssss
And my AXE!
Can’t respec race
True. :)
Also need to respec my haircut
Most of the time in the character editor is used on the name field.
It’s hard for me to believe this is a standard player situation. It’s a role playing game, play your stats and use your party’s stats as needed when your custom character doesn’t have what you want. If you don’t have what you want at that point, accept the situation and gain an advantage somewhere else in the game where your party’s stats permit. Also another person said this but you can respec if needed.
That said, folks can play however they want but I wanted to call this out in case it disparages any new players from trying out the game.
No I'm pretty sure 80hrs in character editor is pretty standard
Relevant username :)
BUT MY GOLD hisssss
The first area is really big. I think I'm about to move on to the next area after 40 hours or so but I also thought that 6 hours ago but keep stumbling into new areas.
There's a lot to explore.
It doesn't have to take that long by any means, but there's a lot to do, plus secrets all over the place. Some take a sharp eye; others you need to get a passive dice roll (affected by whatever skill) for your character to discover exists.
I didnt play early access, which point exactly switches from act1 to 2?
When you enter the cursed lands around Moonrise Tower.
