The game is hardcore, meaning that any death of a character is permanent btw, but you can then start over.
This would be the deal-breaker for me. I loathe roguelikes because I absolutely cannot stand losing hours (or days, or weeks...) worth of effort and progress in an instant due to character death. Especially because there's always the possibility of death that's entirely outside of your control (glitches, distractions, fucked up trolls using exploits to grief you, etc etc).
For a game where "with the current content it would take over a decade to max out a character and finish all the quests/content etc available", I cannot even remotely imagine playing for years to lose literally everything. I would avoid that game like the motherfucking plague.
This. Take out the permadeath and ridiculous grinding and I'd do it. ---
