This game is not hard. It is more of a nod to older school type of RPG gameplay. Any RPG vet will figure out quickly how to dominate in Div2.
Talk to everyone, do as many quests as possible, explore everywhere you can survive then push into areas where you have a very difficult time surviving. Exploit the AI to get big XP gains. Complete your quests after you gain maximum XP's from fighting in the areas to further your maximum Xp returns ... ie. don't level too far with quest XP while you can maximise your fighting XP, then go back and get the XP for quests.
Although I agree the new generation of gamers used tohuge flashing signs telling them where to go for quests might have a tough time.
The game is good. Yes the Devs poured their heart and soul into it. I PAID for my copy with dollars as a pre-order. I showed them my good faith in their product by paying prior to even receiving it.
I enjoy the game.
I WANT A MF'IN PATCH SOON THOUGH.
The music is awesome and I especially like how there are ALOT of different tracks. Sure, they are short and re-loop too soon but I really dig how going into new areas fires up some new tunes. My favorite is the tune at Dragon Cliff Castle.
