What I learned on my second run as a mage and next third run as a complete arsehole
 

Playing the mage is the easiest way to play Elex. I found the fireball the best attack skill in the game and it makes the game too easy for my liking. Just aim at the ground at a group of enemies and you hit them all for a lot of burning damage. You can even kill trolls quite early in the game with it. The mana to life is a must because you will not have enough mana without it because you will run out of mana potions. I didnt complete the game because it was getting too easy but I know that I could ave easily beat it.

Next run I am going to choose every negative option I can think of and side with Zardom if I can. I am going to go a strength/constitution 2 hander this time. Wish me luck.

I always tend to play games with choices like that. On every run. :)
Okay, sometimes I like NPC so I won't, but 99% of NPCs have horrible hair so there's nothing to like. :evilgrin:

I'm imprerssed. I've really tried, so far with little success, to play an evil character. I guess I'm too nice. For now.

pibbur who has made an arrogant altmer dark brother wannabe in Skyrim, who he may want to play when he gets older and grumpier..

You're supposed to roleplay, not play yourself! :biggrin:

I can't make myself play evil. I can't play a murderer either. For instance, I never got far at all in Dishonored and had no interest in the Assassin games or Hitman. I can kill nearly everyone as long as it isn't murder :D

Speaking of role playing, I tend play goodies two-shoes in most games or lawful good. I think for the first time ever I am playing chaotic good in Elex. If things don't go my way or people annoyed me, I kill them! I just killed Hakon cos the bastard double crossed me!

Can't play myself. Protagonists are usually bald and I'm not.
And sometimes they have boobs.

Lawful only when evil. Me.
If I'm a member of dogooder faction for some reason then it's always chaotic. :D

So i finished my arsehole run. Damn! Nasty is very powerful when you choose here instead of Caja, she 3 shots those slime raptor things even in Ultra difficulty! She was also quite tanky at that point, she didnt die taking on 6 enemies, 2 rotboars, 3 mutants and a rottmoloch. You cant side with Zardom unfortunately, I was a little disappointed by that.
