before i go into the next part, made a twitter account for the switch. will slow me down a bit but hopefully makes the adventure more exciting. let's recap the more exciting parts of the intro that i mentioned:

my crime spree is over.

my adventure is over:

surprise genre change! i'd be alright with this tbh.

the rest of the town lore, and a man pleading to God for his existence.

alright, back to the playthrough.
i actually head back to town to check out what's changed. a few different things in dialogue and i can go to the Tor. cool. once i'm out of town i get used to riding my horsey by running into enemies and enjoying how that avoids fights. walking is just fine, which i do until i'm LV4. i'm also headed off by a random NPC telling me to go to town so alright, guess i'm not bumrushing a fallen tree.

after crossing the bridge, punking out a bird with a horse and a cucumbur with a spear, i steadily try to fight every enemy at least once as i find a seed of life and herb.

NPC introduces me to camping. will i get to pet my horse there? play with a rubber ball? after he finishes telling me that his teeth and ambitions are bared i get into his cabin to break shit, get a small scale, and realize i probably should equip Gemma's charm. i spot a nearby well and... yep, thought so. inside i go where i find myself a strong medicine. figuring i might as well see what happens i camp and see that i can use it to change time of day/night. different enemies i assume, with possible different effects of what happens in town.

well, i spend a night and ride around, dishing out a driveby to any monsters in the way. they were askin' for it. the game agrees with me as it gives me an achievement, proving i'm right. as i explore i get myself some fresh water, a flintstone, and a cottontop. i then find out that the two halves i can run around are connected and proceed to beat everything one time then gallop through them like the worthless creatures they are. i go down to the coast, find an NPC blocking my way, so i take out my anger by going into his tent and breaking his pots, promptly rewarding me with a chimera wing.

this game really does not teach good life lessons but that's fine, i'm a hero!

once i get to level 5 i unlock skills and learn heal. that'll be useful, i guess. horder's mentality is going to leave me with the max number of medicinal herbs, isn't it?

going through the skills, i'm seeing...

Swords: the game really pushes you to this i see. gets you a skill immediately upon entry and then there's the Dragon/Metal Slash moves, aka, grinding for levels.

Greatsword: can cheat with defensive abilities with that parry, early AOE and early DPS.

Swordmastery: clearly meant for people who know the game already, after a skill reset occurs, or end game.

Luminary: magic AOE, a cheap but probably mostly ineffective black hole, stats, and repel. not bad.

i pick... none of the above, i'm gonna hang onto these 3 points until i figure out who else is in my party. or at least, get someone else. i don't think i'm in desperate need for Flame Slash so i'll be fine whacking things with a greatsword.

after beating everything in the day i rest at camp to night time and beat the shit out of everything then too. stomping through a bunch of sleeping bunnicorns is strangely satisfying. first drakky i face flees but that's no concern, i just smack then next one down and... go super saiyan? oh, pep. alright, well i'm feeling really peppy as i kill some flying fire things too before getting into town. still was in pep mode when i finished fighting on the world map, let's see if it sticks in between story points like this too.
