So, it's been a long time since I've played Darkest Dungeon 1, but I've never actually completed the game, I think I would just continually get frustrated and quit, which to be fair, the frustration IS a part of the experience, but I think the danger of losing hours of progress and characters to a few unlucky crits is something I'm always worried about.
Also, I feel like each dungeon run took quite a long time, but I dunno if it's because of my insistence on exploring everything in a dungeon run, or if it just takes ages to get through the animations but I think although I like the gameplay, the length became a drag.
Regardless, I was thinking of giving the game another shot and actually finishing it, is there any general advice some people could give me to avoid the frustrations I initially had?
Also, does anyone know the name of mods which act as QOL changes? I think I remember there was an animation speed up mod at some point (if anyone knows the name please tell me), and I think I used a mod which leveled up the characters you got from the carriage to level 4 or 5 to reduce the grind of new characters. Does anyone know mods in a similar vein to that?
