So I'm downloading this last remaining gig before I jump in the game. I've been looking forward to this game for a long while. I'll be going at the game very slow. I love the environment and lore so I'll be reading everything, hunting down every clue and just really immersing myself into the game.
I'm really looking forward to grouping up with everyone too and hoping we can pull that off this weekend. I'll be on mumble when I can so be sure to jump in and use it.

Same here, looking to go slow and enjoy the world. As for mumble I need the details for it. I downloaded and installed it a while ago but it had never liked any password I tried.

TSW really places exploring at the forefront. Just wandering around picking up supplies for a quest lead me to the beach where I found a suicide note on the door of a house which lead me along the pier to a dead body. From here I found a beached trawler with a lore item on top and spent some time figuring my way up top to get it. I like how the game sidetracks you from pushing through the quests by making exploring lead you to interesting stuff.

Played a couple more hours this morning.
Loving it.
Won't be on much tonight I don't think. If weather holds up I'll be in a tent with a gnome.

I'm lost. I ended up basically wandering out into the countywide following a quest. This lead to another quest and another. Then a couple of side quests. Not I am on a beach somewhere overlooking a mass grave. Not even sure where town is. Oh yeah, and I also ended up finding some more lore items.
Haven't spend many AP and SP points either. Just running on my two shotgun and two hammer actions. Not really sure what to do and don't want to waste them even if I know a ton more are coming.

I'm the opposite. I'm spending all sorts of points. Have them in fist, blade and heavy in elemental. (got my first 7 point skill, root ftw! )
Not sure you can waste them...

Yeah, I guess I should use them. I do have a rifle now and an elemental talisman. Maybe time to branch out and try other things.

TSW touts its lack of levels and it is true to a point that you don't have an ever increasing number over your head. But I see a lot of people in chat looking for people and using the QL level. So there is a level just not the standard level number.

I guess there has to be some manner of progression indicator or we would all be newbs forever.
That being said, QL is an okay estimate for lack of a level, but someone could have all Q3 gear but have all their AP spent on only the inner circle of the build trees with no real synergies in their skill choices.
So it's not really so cut and dry as QL5 > QL3; player power is a lot more dependent on how they build their characters and how they choose their equipped skills to deal with the given situation.

I think this quote sums up TSW game play quite nicely.
"It’s like playing through a really interesting novel with you in the role of the protagonist"
