My first two or three groups were screwed up royally, since I didn't understand the system properly. Now I do and it's so much better to try out different combinations of skills and abilities. I have restarted countless times without getting bored. The game only grew with every new feature I discovered.
I've exactly the same feeling about restarting as you have cossayos !! That's THE reason I love rpg's : their replayability value !
I'm recently started again for at least the 6th time . Now level 4 only but already 3 weeks further, but that's because I can't play that much PLUS I write down every step I make regarding quests & tasks, some memorable fights too ...
It's like writing some kind of Diary ...
