Anywhere near complete? I'm starting it for the first time soon.
Yeah, that 300 hours is broken down to about 80 first time round, 100 on hard mode (easily 20 hours of that run in the strawberry floating Catacombs alone) both of those as a Pyromancer, the hard mode I've yet to finish.
30 hours in on hard as a Deprived which I'll never finish cause I strawberry floated up early on trying to make a magic using warrior, my own fault for not specializing, but was fun trying too build.
And then 2 other runs, one sitting about 20 ish hours as a scorerer which I could never really get my head round, don't really like magic users, this is why I tried to build the above Deprived magic using attempt with decent warrior skills as back up and lastly a Cleric sitting at about 70ish cause you gotta have dat faith, it's finished too.
Doubt I'll ever finish all the runs. Had at one stage wanted to do a run with all the character choices, but time and effort put end to that.
First time through, imo to have a good chance and to make it a little easier I'd start Pyro (makes Blighttown so much easier, it's the first really rage quit area again in imo. Plus fire balls win
), Cleric for miracles of healing goodness which is a big help or one of the fighters, the knight or warrior for beating things to death goodness. The other tip I'd usually tell people is to take the Master Key as a gift at the beginning.
