Been playing for a few hours now
Haven't found any trainers yet. The levelling kind of confuses me. Because your skills level so slowly, you end up levelling up but not levelling your skills, so you get horrible attribute boots (+2 or +3 if you're lucky). This might be normal, I can't imagine they'd overlook something like this, maybe skills influence more in Nehrim than Oblivion
The map is enormous. I've been playing for about 3 hours and I've covered an insignificant amount of ground. I honestly cannot wait to explore the rest of the map
It seems to be divided by level. I entered a forest and it said "Something forest levels 4 - 14" at the top, so it seems all of the areas are divided by level. I actually like this. I'm guessing the tranquil forests are lower level regions and the harsh mountains and border areas are higher level. I definetly like the fact that some regions are more dangerous than others, and that the enemies don't seem to scale. You just find creatures that belong in the environment, aka, you won't run into mud crabs in the mountains, and you won't come across ogres on farms
The game has added so much that I've not even been able to try out yet. Mining, digging, forging, hunting, crafting... there's tons of stuff to do outside of quests and combat. I can tell I'm going to be playing this for a while
I'm not too far into the story, I kind of left on a tangent with a side quests but I plan to pick up the main quest again soon. Sounds pretty interesting so far
Overall, so far it's been completely epic
