Tell me why I should or shouldn't buy a 2014 V Strom 1000 with 70,000km

Hey guys, just looking for some advice, reviews or warnings about what to look for.

I currently have a 2007 Varadero 1000 and I'm considering changing to a V Strom. It's not a bike that was on my radar at all, I was originally thinking of staying with Honda and going for something like a VFR1200. However, a nice Suzuki has popped up local to me with luggage etc and it looks appealing.

I'm going to check it out in a couple of hours, what should I be looking for?

Just to add, it will be a daily commuter doing about 30km each way for work, with the occasional bit of touring through the UK and Europe. Zero off roading in my future but I like the upright position of the more adventurey type bikes.

I've completed the game, but I'm a total noob. Help with second playthrough?

Hi guys, just looking for a quick bit of advice. I've completed the game (not including DLC) with an almost pure INT build. I got the sword of night and flame early and loved that, but as the game progressed I went more pure INT/battlemage style where I was using carian weapon spells and a big variety of INT spells.

So like, while I beat every boss and got through the game, I was mostly just running away firing spells.

I've started a new game now where I'm leaning towards DEX, but tbh it's mainly coz I think the twinpole or twinblade whatever it's called that you get pretty early is cool as fuck.

Could you guys make some recommendations about weapons, what levels to aim for and what sort of things I need to know.

For reference, I never used buffs or bleed/rot etc. No idea how to parry. At the moment I'm just rolling and slashing and enjoying the hell out of it but want a better idea of what to aim for.

Thank you!
