Who is rushing the main story and who is taking time to do everything?
Doing pretty much everything. Rogue, level 45, just finished Act 1 earlier today, a handful of hours ago. Still not done all Fractured Peaks side quests. This is how I tend to play these games, when they're this good... I had something like 150 hours in Elden Ring before I'd finished the 2nd "proper" boss.
Been very fun so far. Feels a LOT like D3 to me... but I'm not a Diablo connoisseur or anything. I did play a lot of D3 + exp, and just a
little of D2.
I'm tending towards ignoring multiple dungeons that don't give me an aspect my class can use, but other than that I'm hitting all/most sidequests, all strongholds, but some of the dungeons/caverns/events I play by ear. Pass by them sometimes.
I started as melee spec, but was switching to ranged on a few bosses... and eventually I decided to never go back, because constantly respeccing was draining my gold and ranged just feels better/less dangerous in early boss fights. Finally used to ranged spec, and for some reason I like it a LOT more than I did both of wizard and demon hunter in D3. Was using lots of poison traps & poison imbue, but now I'm going cold imbue/caltrops/rain of arrows with dash as my mobility skill. And preparation of course to lower cooldown on rain of arrows.
Only had a real problem with 1 "boss" so far as a range spec rogue... the vampire thing in the northwestern stronghold in Fractured Peaks... annoying fight with big elite adds, lots of CC, and lots of projectiles in final stage.
Anyways... can't imagine playing a game I like more than this anytime this year. Only a surprise release of Silksong would be a real threat.
Starting my friends clan on Thursday... can't wait to progress with my druid alt.
