Should I make a "burner character"?

Fairweather

Hi! I recently started playing again after not having touched an IRE game for quite some years and I have a number of questions I'm working out, between the forums, the wiki, and news/help files in game.

I know a lot of stuff on the forums reverts to "ask in game" so I don't specifically want to ask a bunch of in-game-esque questions here, but one thing I AM worried about is if I take my lil' dude beebopping around organizations to get a feel for everything, if it would have a bad impact on the character.

And if so, would it be more to my benefit to create a sort of "burner character" to feel out the orgs I am interested in?

....or am I overthinking all of this.

Do whatever you want man, whichever is more likely to result in your enjoyment of the game!

My advice however, would be to not concern yourself so much with the playing experience of each city and think more about the type of character you want to play. Read through the help files for every city, house and class to get a feel for the lore of the game and then try to think of how you want your character to slot into that.

Every city has good people to play with and by the nature of the game you can influence that playing experience for yourself and others by fostering a positive environment, so what's more important is you're playing a character that you enjoy

To answer your question directly, nobody really cares if you've been in every city on sapience at one time or another. I think the only people who feel that way are the ones that are doing it. So yeah, you're good man. Enjoy, have fun, hop around a bit and figure it out. The lore and overall "mood" of a city can be felt out and differs greatly between the cities.

@Novaki you're on a necro spree I see. Nice sig btw - big of you to leave out the context of me snickering at you for killing me while I was out of city on my phone trying to help a Newbie who asked for help on market (which I told you ). I'll take it as a compliment that a single kill on me warrants an Honours Line though!

Lol, bruh.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little midbie? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Dawnguard Academy, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Ashtan, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in griefy warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire Targossian armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Sapience, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the forums? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across Sapience and your farsee location is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in two ways, and that's just with my dirk. Not only am I extensively trained in serpent combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Tsol'teth and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "heretical" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
