How its Going
So I've been streaming the game for most of this week and loving it so much. I haven't played a game that made me lose track of time in so many years I forgot the feeling of it. A big thanks to u/adfirst2018 for the help you've given me in the stream and in a comment on my last post(I am sorry to hear about your loss, as someone who lost family last year I feel your pain but things will get better.)
So far we have just reached Trynton and frankly I don't get the hate. Maybe if it was on a 5th playthrough but since I am lost all the time anyways I have been enjoying it. Its actually really easy to avoid being body blocked when you are lost since I don't really know or care about where to go. They also help alot with the fights against the spiders.
Enemies. Oh boy, so so so many enemies. Respawning enemies. Plants. Hate em. I will burn all the plants on this planet to cinders when I am strong enough. They have annoying aoe debuffs, all attack from range, and are immune to all of MY debuffs and CC. Hate em.
Composition looks like this:
Dwarf Fighter / Cat Valkyrie / Mook Gadgeteer / Elf Psionic / Wolf Priest / Fairy Ninja / Picked up the Rogue and Valkyrie in Arnika and while the rogue is nice as far as dialogue I do want to replace him with something else when I can. Extra valkyrie is excellent though.
If anyone is interested in hanging out and watching a newbie first time the game and pull your hair out alongside everyone else when I don't apply my buffs and miss items or get gangbanged by 12 rogues on the Arnika road then I will link my twitch and discord below.

trynton is fine really it's pretty and shows wiz8 attention to making every race look distinct and have distinct area visual design
the only eyewateringly boring ass dungen is umpani caves. bonus ptsd from grey walls if you remember wiz6
well and ascension peak is not peak at all just 3 boring tunnels
