Thanks to you and Korskarn, for providing the answer.

And I turn I feel the need to apologize, as my initial post was far more hostile than was necessary, as a more detailed answer if you are interested in the game: In TSW the weapons you use deterime the skills you can use and you can only equip 2(weapons), so if you plan on soloing make sure that at least one of the weapons you build has some reliable AoE abilities and you will be fine. Blade/fist , shotgun/hammer and blood magic/elemental magic are all decent newbie combos. A lot of what I just said probobly doesn't make much sense right now but if you do end up playing the game it should all become clear fairly quick. If you are having a hard time with something or have other questions about the game, feel free to PM me on the escapist. TSW is an amazing game IMO and I would love to help more people start playing it.

...as a more detailed answer...

Thank you again, chaos; the advice is much appreciated and a third thanks for the offer.

TSW now has a solid place on my list of games to check out, when (...or "if", I suppose ) I manage to work my way through my Steam library backlog.

I've been playing this on and off for a while, had it pre-ordered and lifetime subbed. Am currently AFK in a PvP warzone in-game as I browse the forum, collecting tokens for doing absolutely nothing. Although PvP is farce, the PvE content is enjoyable, playing in a team hits the right notes and with a friend even more so. The story is cool, the backstory is better but the dungeons are pretty weak (essentially it's just boss encounters without any of the story and little, if any atmosphere, that makes the rest of the PvE game great).

The dialogue is usually quite over-written and full of fluff, I end up skipping most cutscenes after 30seconds of waffle with nothing actually useful or pertinent being said. And the quality of world design isn't consistent; some parts are masterpieces, others not so much. I can't wait for my PC upgrade to see how the game performs on better hardware...my current machine isn't as smooth as I'd like.

Any Escapists who fancy teaming up, need a little advice and/or would like a helping hand, I'm on the Daemon server as either KingsGambit or Co-Codamol.
