Steelcrater

I just want a wide variety of weapons and armor. I love having choice. The choice between wielding a single handed axe, or a flail. Or the choice between a mace and a club. I like being able to see the difference appear on the character, and I really just like having my characters look and feel like they're really in the story. Like they're ready to go fight an army, or slay a dragon. As long as there is plenty of variety, and lots of choices when it comes to what i equip my character with, I'll be happy. On a sidenote, since they are implementing crafting options, I would really like to see the opportunity to customize to your own armor/weapons, and really make them unique. If you're more of a barbaric character, maybe you take the teeth of some of the rare creatures you slay and create a necklace. Maybe adding a notch to your axe for each major enemy you slay, or something along those lines.

I'll definitely be starting with the default difficulty (Normal), without any of the extra difficulty settings attached. I usually create a few quick classes and see if I enjoy them, and then once I decide I like to have a little leniency to enjoy the story and explore the game. Once I've done a full play through, sometimes I'll go back and select the other difficulty options just to see what it's like.
