That’s not really that weird. Some people beat Witcher 3 in 40 hours some beat it in 160. All depends how completionist you’re playing. CD has an immense amount of shit that isn’t necessary but some are doing it all.
Yes, from what I've seen all the armor types are the same within their types, with few exceptions. All the Plate Chest pieces will top out at 41 Defense, All Leather Chest pieces at 32 Def, etc. The Kairos Gloves and Boots are both 1 tier lower than the standard for Def, while the Scorched Plate Gloves are 1 tier higher.
Combat can be as easy or hard as you decide. Can beat the entire game holding r2, ha.
Also avoid fighting the crimson terror asshole thing in the dark. That sucked pretty bad, I can't imagine even trying reed devil in the dark.
Yeah, same here. Doesn't help that I bought two 30-40 hour games just before this came out (Planet Crafter and Necesse). Will probably finish those before I touch this one. It also doesn't help that it seems like Pearl Abyss is doing massive qol patches every time, which makes me just want to wait longer.
You can just switch to them and play as them, but there’s a bunch of stuff they can’t actually do and your skill points are a shared pool so people just play as the main dude. It sounds like they had them in as part of the BDO2 classes plan but they switched to single player and just left them in and didn’t flesh them out enough to be true alternate characters. If the skill points weren’t shared and they all had the same amount in separate pools you’d see people playing the alternate characters and just switching to the main dude for the sections that only he has the powers to do.
