I remember Jasede not only went on DOM for his first playthrough, but with his own build... throwing only. He did good up to some point but then so happens it were his very last posts on this forum. It couldn't be related, right? Just a coincidence.Stay away from DOM until you are comfortable with the game's systems. Don't listen to our beloved nutjobs around here on the difficulty. A lot of us have played the game for thousands of hours, and forget how it was in the beginning. A strong build alone won't save you.
Pickpocketing is really one of the least useful skills on any difficulty other than DOM.
The pain becomes increasingly intense as the moments pass. Your face and your hands become numb, and inside – only pain. You look up at the the game's difficulty setting, it’s DOMINATING for your first playthrough. In desperation your hand reaches for Throwing. You have to savescum or think about re-rolling and admit you were wrong all this time you boasted that DOMINATING should be the definitive experience for a new player and that meta gaming is for faggots, there is no other way. The vision ends abruptly and you find yourself back in the real world. Collapsed on your knees, tears running down your face, you are screaming at the RPGCodex and Stygian Software forums. You take a deep breath and compose yourself. Maybe what you saw was only a vision, but the pain was real.
