Hi all, totally new to this game and I have read the manual cover to cover now and am about to begin my adventure in this game. Coming from Titan Quest I know how important it is to know what your char is going to be like before you even start so im looking for some advice please..... My thought for my first playthrough is a Pure 1 handed weapon/Shield TANK with everything pretty much set up for defence and the summon skeletons abilty as my damage source (and some company as I only play an hour or so a day) I should also say sry for all the questions that are about to follow but I dont wanna gimp my first playthrough in any way. 1 - I will be starting on Silver difficulty, but is this game like TQ in that I should rush this playthrough to get to platinum, then rush that for Niob and really concentrate from here? 2- What kind of weapon (and weapon skill if any) should I use to match this type of build? 3 - What sort of attribute point distrobution should I be looking for? 4 - Skill wise I was thinking about: Shield Lore Armour Lore Constition Combat Reflexes Spell Resistance Toughness "a weapon type skill" Concentration Astral Lord Lore Astral Lord Focus Would this be a decent build, and what sort of order or max skill level should I be aiming for with each skill? ------------------------------------------- Thank you very much in advance for any answers! eXist

could someone also please send a newbie the unlock codes.... thanks in advance!
