Well i've played for a few minutes with Dark Elf (i think) and after that with a Dwarf. Then i noticed that the race you pick seems to matter a lot so i'll probably have to check the manual for the skill tree to see what i like most.
So i'm still lvl 1. Technically lvl 0 probably

yeah lol it does really, though they all end up very powerful. I'd tell you to look on my site but er... I haven't finished that section yet lol. Basically for melee choose the green combat arts on any of the characters (except BM) and blue are spells (or other random colours for some of the other chars)
The green ones seem to stay fairly similar for most chars (all have attack/hard hit/multi hit) so its really what you want to do besides the melee that will alter the way the char plays.

Started off as a gladiator today. Purely melee, so less stuff to worry about and getting used to. Still learning the game (like the smithy thing) but i've enjoyed it so far.
1 really (well ..) annoying thing: space is drinking a potion, pause is 'p'
and i almost always hit my spacebar if i want to pause the game
Must be BG reflexes.
Oh and i'm always in doubt what armor is best from the 3 pieces i get in my inventory, what weapon is best to use for my character ... . Not to mention what to pick when i lvl up.
I guess i'll just start over when i seem to get stuck because i screwed up. Oh and i'm playing on bronze and i'm kicking ass. For the moment. Almost attacked something dragonlike, good thing it was on the other side of the river since i noticed later it was lvl 26.

hehe dont worry too much about screwing up, chars are stupidly overpowered after 20 - 50 lvls. As for the items... well for the time being stick to looking at protection (if thats higher, use it), once you get more used to the game mechanics you can look at all the other thousands of modifiers you often find on stuff
Just in case you don't know, item quality goes
White<blue<yellow<gold with sets being green. However! Sometimes you may find a gold with one really good stat, thats no good for your build, and then find a white with one ok stat that fits perfectly. So don't dismiss the normal crap!

Okay, thx, so screwing up doesn't really matter nice to know that.

I just gave it a try on hardcore, i'm a lvl 6 gladiator now. Might play again tonight, don't know what the planning is here today (family visits etc.) if i'm playing i'll let you know here.
Btw still have to think how i should make my gladiator, so could very well be that i'll have to start over
*update* restarted my gladiator, and i should be on ... about now, look for a player named Ganz

I'm confused: how do i know if i'm on a softcore or hardcore server? Because i thought yesterday i was on hardcore and turned out i wasn't.
I have msn but i never use it.
Hmm okay, think i figured out the hardcore thing. So i guess i'll be starting over, again

lol yeah just to be sure, when you create the char (in Closed MP) theres a lil skull to the right of where you type in the name; click it so its red. Thats hardcore. Plus when you bring up your in-game map (tab or middle mouse button) it will say "*difficulty level*, Hardcore"

Yeah first time i created a character there, i must have clicked the skull without paying too much attention. Probably on-off-on-off-on.
Started over (gladiator again, it's all i know lol) and now i'm playing on hardcore. This time i seem to be not so lucky with drops etc. the green and gold ones and even the blue ones are avoiding me.
