I've always wanted to try this game out. If I muddle my way through with my own build for the first time how screwed will I be? Will I be able to reincarnate and fix everything once I get a handle on what I'm doing?

So the difficulty of the quests is scalable. Honestly - even if your build is horrible almost anything can muddle though on normal as long as you are still having fun. If you aren't having fun thats a different story and we can workshop it a bit but you should be fine to try it.

e: And yes - when you reincarnate you start totally from scratch. There are also a few incremental ways to respec without reincarnation.

Thanks! I'm in as Avolem. I just went through the tutorial dungeon; the game seems neat so far, I like that it has voiceovers for the DM.

I bounced off this game immediately in 2017, I think because I saw it had action bar combat and the graphics were janky. Now I find the graphics kind of charming, and it's definitely not typical button-mashy action bar combat. The fact that enemies don't give you loot/exp (apparently) and the fact that you don't regenerate hp/mana except at designated waypoints gives a very different flavor to combat and resource management.

I did another couple of dungeons in the starter village. I love that the final boss of one of them was a tile puzzle. I also learned how to prepare spells and spend action points. Holy cow I wasn't expecting that level of character customization, it looks like I have 8 or so talent trees to choose from, plus a bunch of choices within each tree. Also I've been given a few actually interesting loot choices already, at level 1. Really glad I decided to give the game another try.

I went ahead and got a 1 month sub since the dungeons were too easy on normal. I hit level 2, finished the Korthos Island story arc (although I need to go back and do a couple optional quests I missed), and accepted my guild invite. Game is still fun! My main goal now is to find a warhammer since I picked that as my favored weapon when I was making my cleric.

You could try heading to keep on the borderlands. There is a special guy there that you can trade in ingots to (a drop in the dungeon) for most kinds of weapons. I like the quests also!

Thanks! Now I have a +1 warhammer that can hit ghosts.
