Not gonna lie, you have one of the more interesting videos up at the moment simply for the way you approach obstacles. It's neat watching people sort of learn as they go.

My only thought was... NOOB when he didn't instantly see the loose rock.

If you're a min maxer you can skip to 10:30 and peek into what the skills do. I really like that they tell you up front what the skill will do at its peak.

I basically refuse to pick a skill in a game unless I know exactly what it does.

Wow the athletics skill looks nice....food reduction needs by 25% and carrying capacity improved by 15 kg (levels 10 and 20 respectively)

That being said looks like it will be extremely wasteful to pick multiple weapon skills as you can only attack with one weapon at a time and you only get the bonuses from the skill when you are using that weapon. Unless of course you get the bonus for just having it in the offhand?

At 10:32 you can see the axes skill and holding an axe at level 50 gives you +4 strength +25 health and +20 attack power. I'm not sure what all those bonuses mean in the scale of things... but one option would be to "dual wield" for the bonuses.

So if I go axes and unarmed combat, if I get both to level 50 would I get the axe bonus and the unarmed combat bonus (+10 dex +7 strength +40 health +20 evasion)?

Hmm I think I need to make a new thread.

i'm sorry but i don't think he was a noob for missing the loose rock. i think he was just really excited about making a review about the game. his voice sounded a bit jittery as if he was a little nervous so i'm sure if he wasn't focused on speaking, he would have found it. possibly. and this isn't really a competition. everyone can learn to play at their own pace. games like this are trial and error sometimes. this will be my first dungeon crawler and i'm sure to make many mistakes :P
