- Restarted with a new character class that has a big shield. Thankfully I saved her character appearance so I was able to re-use it.
- With the big shield, tutorial was a cakewalk, I did not even get close to dying.
- Met a strange woman near the first save point that talked about maidens.
- Spent the first 10 or so minutes running around looking for glowy bits to pick up.
- Found the Santa Claus dude selling stuff and bought a crafting kit based on his recommendation. He seemed pleased.
- Wandered around a bit more, realized I could pick flowers, and spent the next 30 or so minutes collecting: flowers, herbs, mushrooms, and fruits. Not sure why yet. Sounds like it would make for some good tea though.
- Eventually mustered the courage to fight a soldier, noticed it was easy, so I started killing a bunch.
- Ran back to a save point multiple times, just in case, but I guess these dudes respawn?
- Killed a rather large mosquito and collected its head.
- Killed a bunch of zombie guys (like in the tutorial) but I was a bit confused since they didn’t have weapons, and didn’t fight back, they just stood there and moaned. Still got glowy bits from them, but I must admit, I felt bad for killing them.
- Eventually met a strange lady who gave me a ghost horse, which can apparently die, even though it’s a ghost? So unrealistic.
- Here’s a picture of Shaw, triumphant, after 45 minutes of playing without dying:
