Status update: I'm now level 27 in the orobas fjords, still using the blood echelon sword you find in lovis' tower along with a mace that has about +70 magical damage. I switched from sword/shield using the blood echelon sword and shield with my average damage shown in the inventory screen being around 300+100 magical and 600+100 magical with battle rage to dual wielding the sword and mace, now I'm at 650+80 magical and 1200+80 magical with battle rage.
So yeah, I think I broke the game?
The only thing that saddens me is the old unique weapons you'd find in the game, like Brightblade, have been left relatively unchanged, meaning they're completely and utterly useless compared to +65 physical damage or +70 magical damage weapons =/
And Stabbey, I just did that one, and you can indeed become a dragon while standing safely on the platform
