Am I just unlucky? I realize I am not super far in the game, but I'm basically at the start of the Lost City in Act II, and haven't found a single magic weapon that my melee characters can use. Granted, they can only use swords and spears, but aren't swords supposed to be the bread and butter of fantasy games? Other than that, I have the relic staff for my druid and some mediocre staff for my freemage, that's it. I obviously have the relic 2h axe but no one can use that. It just seems like quite a long time to play without even finding a single magic sword or spear.
I am running with an orc barbarian, human freemage, and elven bladedancer and druid. I would have put a dwarf in there if I knew there were race-restricted areas, but oh well. I went swords with my bladedancer because daggers just seems like I'm trying to powergame it instead of play the way I normally would. I've probably tossed around too many skill points in various skills to max out the things I should, but again, oh well.
Another question I have is about the stats. I've pretty much been doing 1 Spirit, 1 Vit, and 2 Magic on my casters, and then 2 Str, 1 Vit, and 1 either in Perception, Destiny, or another Vit for my two melee fighters. Is there a point at which I should stop raising Magic and Strength? It seems like it is a constant increase forever, but there must be some point where it isn't worth raising it more? I could obviously see having more mana and hps being a good thing, but is there a point where I don't really need more To Hit and Damage?
Loving the game so far, and tried to avoid a lot of spoilers, in this thread and elsewhere, but after wandering around a ton I now just load up a page with the location of all the trainers when I need to go to one. I realized later I could have labeled them on the map, but that wasn't obvious to me until much later, so fuck it, spoiler page it is. I didn't use it to determine what classes or weapons I used, so I would rather just save some time instead of wandering around endlessly.
