Is this game a walking simulator or am I doing it wrong?

Hi guys,

This post is a mixture of rant and asking for help so thank you for any support :D

I bought the game a few days ago and was so hyped to try it out. At first it was okay-ish fighting a few bandits and hyenas, getting the first skill at the trainer buying the lighthouse back etc. so far so good.

But since I joined the blue faction in Berg it has literally been only running. „Oh you just came back from the starting town how about you run it all back? Oh your back at the starting town how about you run half the map down to the south?“ I entered the Fanvell caste talked to a guy and instantly lost all my stuff becoming enslaved? Like what?? :D

Why was there no fight? Did I just hand over all my stuff and was like here you go I will mine iron for you now? But still it was okay…

Then I give a woman a makeshift dagger and instead of helping me escape or something like that she just kills herself lol.

I jump down the hole a bandit instantly sees me after waking up knocks me out again and I am back in the starting town with the task to walk back to the bandit castle and no way to get my stuff back.

This game has been really frustrating like not hard to play but really non transparent in the choices and the consequences. Is it just me or is this game just like this?

Thanks!

I also bought the game on sale a week ago…

and this is the first time I recruited a robot/skeleton to my squad and the depth it brings to this game is insane!
I picked him up in a weird little city and he is depressed (lol) but everywhere I take him he has super cool dialogue.

Before my characters barely talked and it wasn’t that interesting but with this guy he talks so much and has so much info, we went to the swamp and he told me about how there was a huge port city here and the water was a few hundred(!) meters higher the last time he was here.

So apparently he managed to stay alive for a couple of hundred years and in 30 minutes I had to reload twice because the swamp spiders killed him :D

Krank wie ihr das alle macht bei mir läuft fast jeder Hebel mies.

Ich sehe hier nur einen 2x-30x nach dem anderen und frage mich wie ihr das alle macht. Ist das einfach die fehlende Erfahrung?

Stand jetzt 14K im Minus

Und nein ich heule nicht im Casino will eher ein paar Tipps wie ich das Geld wieder reinbekomme 🚀
