Tried this out for a bit and it seems very interesting.
Starting the tutorial naked and then picking up stuff would probably be better than already having everything you could need since as is I didn't really figure anything out(besides how to move forward in twisty passages) from the tutorial that I wouldn't have quickly figured out without it.
After managing to memorize some map I couldn't figure out a way to see it without packing the map again but from the wording I assumed there'd be some way(Looking at the Universe doesn't work, the information isn't in my soul, there isn't a specific key for it, looking at the cells above me doesn't do it)
Also how do I charge wands? I tried wielding one in one of my hands for a while but it didn't seem to work.
Played as artificier for a bit, after my golem killed something I got "You punch the dead human in the head with the left arm." and
"The dead human blocks with the bronze spear." messages which probably shouldn't be happening. Figured out how to fix the golem once it broke but is there any way to do it while it's still alive? Also not having any idea what the golem was doing while moving forward was a bit unnerving so I hope there's some way to track beings outside your field of view. Then I made a silly mistake of forgetting my entanglement thing while trying to forget spells I tried to make based on some equipment, so "Are you sure?" prompt for forgetting importantish skills might be nice.
Then I decided to try being a knight which I found a bit boring as there wasn't that much to do other than just following the road to closest village("g" imho should move along the roads like it does in twisty passages) and to decide when to stop to rest and whether to use some of the orbs I found on the enemies.(with them I managed to teleport my sword a little bit and make a chimpanzee helmet)
I'm not really sure how do I get experience, after my initial free exp got assigned or just disappeared or something it seems to be staying at around -4 and none of my skills appear to be changing(could be that I just didn't play long enough).
Also my computer is a bit old and so the game runs a bit slow for me, are there any settings or something that might improve the performance?
Anyway I'm really looking forward to seeing how this develops.
