I re-installed POE2 recently as I heard it's been updated or there was an update coming or something - dunno, haven't kept up with it much. I also remembered however that I didn't really play it much, only 16 hours in total or so. The reason to that was cause I was stubborn about playing it in hardcore mode rather than going through the storyline once and checking out all the bosses - I kept restarting whenever I died.
Compared to other hardcore games, this wasn't even necessary, i.e. you can still play your character once it dies once in normal mode, meaning continue from where you left off. But stubborn as I may be, I didn't want that, so I kept restarting from the beginning which has kind of lead me to this point where I know the beginning part way too well but not so much later on.
I've tried quite a few classes since I re-installed the game, in this gameplay I'll be playing the sorceress.
I've went for quite a risky build, optimizing my damage output and not so much my defense as a sorceress, which would basically mostly be resistances and energy shield. My plan is to go a bit more defense in terms of talent points a bit later in the game, starting around act 2 which i've gotten to a few times but not past that.
Anyway, in this gameplay I try and go through things quite fast (since I've played them through over and over) while still making sure I don't die to some stupid and unncessary stuff.
There's also this new thing in the game, I forgot what it's called, but in every map there's an event where green-ish monsters spawn from a rift and you gotta kill them all to get extra loot. Some times there's some minibosses, some times some bigger bosses that hit quite hard and take a good amount of time to beat. Naturally I'd go for clearing all of these in hardcore as well.
Let's see how far I can go on this sorc!
No commentary in this video, wasn't really feeling it as it was gonna be quite a long one, maybe in the next one.
Quality is also a bit on the low side, my ssd is a bit on the full end (game itself is over 100gb), and storage isn't cheap anymore! :P
