Indeed, this is the same path that I'm leaning on. The combat just seems really intuitive and challenging (for melee) , as long as it ends up not being TOO easy. Please stream ^^!

Also it gives gold a purpose in the later stages of the game compared to skyrim where there would be nothing to spend gold on
Does anyone know which merchants have backpacks? It's so frustrating at this point in the game and I think I skipped some places.
I've visited every shop and I'm about lvl20 now. Only came across 2 backpacks so far, always looking for more. I'm guessing there might be 2-3 more to get throughout the world, as I've only really been to 1/3 of it.
Anyway I'm going the full finesse route and I can kill a group of enemies 5+ at a time with just spamming charged arrows. With the talents 1 charged bow show shoots out 7 charged arrows at a time in a giant radius out from the middle one and they all do normal dmg and can crit and apply effects too lol. Bow dmg is insane if you talent if all the way.
One: How the tits am I supposed to read the text on the right hand side when I'm getting new abilities / browsing abilities? I mouse over the shit, and info pops up, but if I try to move my mouse over to scroll and read it, the text goes away.
Two: How do I get shit to put in sockets
And to throw a third one on out of nowhere: Is Blacksmithing worth it?
Just use the mousewheel holding the cursor over the power's icon. Don't move it.
To get shit to put in sockets, get sagecrafting and combine all the shards and stuff you find everywhere.
Blacksmithing is totally worth it. I haven't played a long time, but nor have I found anything that comes close to the sheer power and customization of blacksmiting,

Taking into account the post before mine along with the fact that repairing is freaking expensive from blacksmiths (at least on good equipment). It'll save a ton of money just to buy a dozen repair kits every hour or two with points invested into blacksmithing.
It's hard to say if something is actually worth investing into... Like, lock picking is pretty silly, it's pretty feasible on Very Hard and there's lockpicks stocked at most merchants.
Also I'm ready stand corrected, but since you can reset your character for gold, couldn't just max out crafting, craft the biggest baddest sword, and then just ditch it afterwards for whatever you want.

Absolutely worth it, no matter how early in the game you are. In my experience so far (~level 10), if you're good about salvaging relevant items you can almost always craft a superior item to anything short of purple level items. You also get to name your items, which is super cool.
Even a lot of purple items pale in comparison with what you can forge with good materials and high blacksmithing. I'm level 22 with max blacksmithing at the moment rocking a crafted greatsword with literally twice the damage of the three most recent purple greatswords I've picked up. Only problem is you need to salvage a LOT because what materials you salvage are random. It sucks when you salvage an item worth tens of thousands of gold and get underwhelming materials.
beef42 you need to have some points in blacksmithing simply to salvage green, then blue items. If you go through the game getting essentially no materials don't expect to be able to suddenly craft a monstrosity. The best mastercrafted items also use gems made from pristine shards, which require somewhat high sagecrafting to make.

Smoke bomb is extremely good and best skill from fitnesse. Poison cloud is too low damage in my opinion considering you could get other things. I think I'm going to finish this game tomorrow. I have only about 800k (its like price of green item). But I don't know where to use it, lol. vendors never sell legendary items. Well gonna start mage and do different quests after that I think.

Smoke Bomb is amazing for sniping spellcasters/ranged attackers before starting a 1 v X situation. Poison Cloud I'm assuming is the corpse explosion? If it isn't I'll edit this out, but it's not worth investing into if you're not satisfied with the rest of your skills, it's kind of a point dump because it's very niche. Overall it does add to the uncanny AoE damage that Finesse provides later on (if you get Arrow Rain especially).

Legendary items are only from drop's . If you wanna good items you must craft them or make fractions quest chanins , you get really good rewards from ending querst's in every fraction chain. Im 33 lv and im gonna end game tommorow i think i think 2-3 h of play and its gonna be finish Im playing now blink rogue <3 its very good ! , you get poison blink from fitness/ sorc destinies its take away dodge and replace it with poison blink love this skill :D
Going a Might/Sorcery build, been pretty fun and challenging so far on hard. As long as you don't spam potions/reckoning mode, the combat stays fun with you most likely dying alot on a few bosses.
The open-world mobs are not that challenging, its when you get into some of the main faction quests dungeons that the bosses start to rip you apart! Trying to stay out of blacksmithing and sagecrafting to keep my gear not as overpowered (like in Skyrim where once you cheated...it was hard to go back).
Overall, this game is really good, got about 20hours worth and the world is really beautiful!
This game seems pretty cool but unfortunately I am unable to play it because I can't see anything in game. The screen is black. The menu opens and works fine when i press escape and I can see the minimap also but everything else is black. Does anyone know where to go for tech support for the demo because so far i've been looking but can't find anything... If anyone knows it would be a great help! Thanks.
EDIT: Scratch that!! I found the fix to my problem I just needed to disable post processing. Time to check out the game!
Aight after trying out maxed skilltrees of every class I still think bows are by far the best. None of the other weapons comes even close, and the mage spells all seem to suck as well.

Most fun to me is not having to reload 20 times every bossfight .-. For instance I have no idea how dagger users are supposed to finish House of Ballads at like lvl 15
