Got me quite hooked now. Am through the first two acts but have been clearing majority of side quests as they pop up too. So already level 43/44 Rogue, and not even got my horse yet.
Challenge levels on tier 2 are pretty well judged for the most part. Occasional spikes for certain bosses/situations but respecs or ability changes can mostly work around that. Overall feels much better judged than Diablo 3 on default, which was too easy.
I generally don’t like the idea of game worlds constantly leveling around you, as it means when you do hit a road block you can’t just level up to progress, but it works here. Given the vast array of class/skill combinations it’s surprisingly well balanced too.
Also started a Druid character and having fun with that going full bear. Like the little perks and advantages that you’ve already unlocked on other characters persisting through.
