Thank you @Boeroer. Started playing and it was fun enough. Unfortunately, well let's say I am in a Throne Room and since I sneaked there, it is only now. that I see that level 4 is way too low for me, even just on normal. And leaving from my last savegame is a long and unfun way.

Hello everyone, I am brand new here. I bought Pillars of Eternity ages ago, but never got around playing it. I finally want to start and wanted to ask if anyone had advice for character creation. I have a bit of experience with RPGs, the closest to Pillars I played seems to be Dragon Age and Planescape Torment, though these were a long time ago. I enjoy a good story and building up my character, preferably becoming outright OP towards the end (I fondly remember hitting a boss in Skyrim so hard, his script broke). So my question would be: - Normal difficulty okay? While I am not in for a big challenge, I doubt I would like if the combat felt like pointless busywork. - What character concept is recommended for minimum frustration both in combat (that is, combat not being too hard due to a character being poorly setup for it) and story-wise (that is, not missing out on too much content because the character can hardly pass any skill checks). If the game grabs me, I might to multiple playthroughs (did so with Dragon Age and Skyrim) though I am sadly rather fiddle in that regard (started Planescape Torment two or three times but never finished it, despite enjoying it), so I also ask to optimize my first try for a good impression of the game.
