Fun reading the options and remarks of these other game makers. I skipped the part about the spoiler in act 1. I have played probably 40 hours now and I am not sure I have even reached the middle of act 1.
Act 1 took me around 20 and I was being careful to look everywhere and search everything, if it’s taken you 40 are you spending a lot of time just standing in the meadows?
Edit: character creation shouldn’t be counted as part of act 1 guys, I spent an hour or two there as well but that’s not act 1. Act 1 starts when you’re on the beach, that’s the area you’re in until you hit the bubble saying you’re progressing are you sure
I spent a whole play session changing classes and choosing a sub class for multiple characters a couple of days ago. So I can see it lol
Oh my God, a few nights back I had three hours to play and just spent it respecting everyone and playing with their gear. And by everyone, I mean everyone. Even the people I have not had in my active party outside like a quest or two.
"Hmm, should this Act 3 companion go Ranger 8 / Barb 4? How best do I build them to dual weild? Which swords should they get? Let me change my party so I can see what everyone else has."
I beat the game two nights later only using the characters I ran essentially the whole game with. But honestly, I love messing with builds. The fact that we can just do it all the time to try something new or min-max just a little bit more ("hey, I just got a permanent bump to my main stat, let's see if I can rework everything to up a bonus somewhere...") is such a great feature.
Really glad they added respec and multiclassing, it's going to extend the life of the game for me for sure.
Every time I level up, I spend the time to make sure everyone is too. It takes a while, but I can plug and play them all. I still run my main group of my Paladin/Bard, Shadowheart, Karlach, and Lae'Zel most of the time, though.
Plus, making Gale learn all the scrolls I've squirrled away took a while.
Tip for making Gale(or any wizard) learn scrolls. If you open up his spell book, then is a small button that opens a new menu(I think it is an open book with a flame, it is early in the morning for me), and it lists all the scrolls you can learn that you have, tick all the boxes, and then the pay the money. Took me 1 minute to spend over 3000 gold learning spells.
Damn, thats a good Tip thank you.
