I did figure out a few things, so I'd call that progress. Doesn't seem like you can really lose the game as such - only suffer bad setbacks. Just need to keep throwing guys at the dungeons until I get somewhere!

That's the best you can do. Sometimes you'll get a combination of people that work really well together. Btw if you didn't know, before you go into a dungeon, you can right click on your character list to see what position they are the strongest in. Some people are stronger at the front of the line and some vice versa. You can pull off some really neat combinations that way.

I figured out the position thing after my first lost party. After the second complete wipe, I figured out how to upgrade buildings and I know the combat system a bit better. Not a lot of healing options though! Rations aren't worth a lot, so it's just better not to get hit at all lol

Some classes can also swap positions, based on the skill layout you are using for them.

Wrecking Ball looks ****ing amazing.. I was just watching some PTR streamers. That skill ceiling is off the charts.

Also, new sombra!? Infinite duration stealth and recall, and best of all....

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIII... right-click no longer has fall off damage. All the kills I've been denied by fall off, damn I cant wait.

Oh **** Mei buffs? Maybe I should try it out... been a while.

That too. I always feel bad when I have to put one of my guys in the church etc. But then I can use them again which is nice.

I put out a fire that was blocking my path with an ice spell that I may not even have had in my party if I was running different classes, then I try to run past it only to have my mage slip and knock herself out for a few seconds on the ice 10/10 immersion

leveling system is fantastic with perks that require meaningful trade-offs, and a good mix of combat and outside of combat skills

the gear similarly is a lot to pour over but is always offering me meaningful choices, do I want a bit of extra hp with this item or do I want the 8% block chance on this other one, and it looks like a ludicrous amount of weapon types can be crafted whenever I get around to that

making certain dialogue choices with your characters will give them traits that provide small bonuses and your characters can even disagree and debate over the right course of action in a given scenario

I'm playing on the difficult Tactical mode, so every combat encounter has had me sweating like Microsoft Chess on high intermediate, but the normal mode option exists for those not wanting to strain themselves

only criticism is I don't find the main plot super engaging, but how important is that really in a game like this, especially when even many random NPCs have their own charm and personality

Well after this one, play the 2nd one. This and the 2nd game are both the best RPGS I've probably ever played. The first one is really good too but the 2nd one improves on the 1st by far.

The game looks pretty good and I'm reminding myself that I can actually play it now if I want to. Gotta admit dungeon crawler type RPG's are more my thing though. I like not having to talk to a lot of NPC's.
