The game is pretty forgiving for a long time. On your first playthrough I recommend to ignore anything that is too much and just to play it your way.
Should you run into a roadblock or feel you are not making enough progress, then you might have to deal with some of the too much. Until then enjoy GD for what it is.
Agree with all of the above. The game can get fairly complicated when you’re trying to perfect a build, but this game is a perfect example of being easy to learn and difficult to master.
Enjoy the game as it is, and learn as you go. Welcome to the greatest ARPG on the planet
I just had the same experience with Torchlight 1. I guess if you are familiar with one ARPG (family) not everyone wants to learn the ins and outs of another one.
I’m finally getting into the game
My character is at level 10, but I still haven’t found any shrines, my Soldier character does have a skill update or devotion yet.
I’m going to start a new character.
I’m using the present one to get use to the game
You should have if you did the very first quest in Burial Hill and also the one Barnabas gives you after you give him the scrap. He’ll give you a key to go into the building behind him to kill a big Slith and there’s a shrine in there too.
Thanks for the replies!
I found the shrine and got a point but it still doesn’t let me do a devotion,
my character is the Soldier, I have 50 points but I still can’t select
anything on the skill tree yet.
My character is 10th level and I think I need to search for how
to create a character because I should have been able to do
something by now.
I only wish that this game wouldn’t repopulate the area and the
game would be saved where you last were.
I’m exiting the game in Burial Hill, but I start back at town
and I have to deal with the monsters again in the Burial
Hill.
Well, I was going to try to play without using any tips, but when my character got to
Level 10 and all I could do was add points to the three attributes I guess I do
need help.
I should have been able to do something with the 50 points and 1 devotion point
you need to level up mastery bar before you can select skills.
this is a game where you grind for loot all the time, so if monsters did not repopulate, you would eventually run out of monsters to kill and get new loot from This is general for ALL ARPGS, it is fundamental for the genre. That is also why it is important to grab rift gates / checkpoints.
skill points and devotion points can be refunded at spirit guides. refund cost increases the more you respec. So here you can be pretty much try and see what happens what different skills do.
attribute points you need a potion for, so use those points more wisely.
If you play soldier, try find a guide for soldier based build. Here are some guides that is on the forum
as you can see, you can make many different kind of soldier based build even as a beginner that has no items found on other chars to use. Even casters So depending on what game play stye you prefer, you can choose second class that supports that style
