Ya, play the prelude, do the tutorials.
The thing is, it's complicated, but you really can learn as you go. It's in a 200 page manual as it is, but I haven't read most of it. Just progressing few, and looking at certain things if I need help.
Just remember to save a ton. Quicksave is G.
And me, you, and Bond can play online. I'm gonna start a new character I think. You likely will, because as you'll figure out in the prelude, you wanna try out the different types.
I'm a level 4 Human Fighter, female, named Luna Bennesset, a ways into chapter 1. Name generator is nice, came up with Bennesset, which works wonderfly with Luna, named after Luna Lane the pornstar (Shooter probably knows her
).
Also has a level 3 Gnome Rogue, named Soido Freth at the beginning of chapter 1. You get to level 3 when you finish the prelude BTW.
I wanna make a druid, don't know why. But a sorcerer would be nice too when we play online, they can really kick some ass. Decisions.... decisions...
