My best character is now a Spellweaver, who uses magic to attack with. There are four character types - Ranger (bow), Dragonknight (sword/axe melee), Spellweaver, and Steam Mechanicus. The latter is dwarven and specialises in steam mechanics, can build a temporary fortified position on the field to support the character, and has access to various mechanical aids like a steamroller. This is the one character-type I have not tried.
Each new character you start up begins with being led through an introduction to the game, which is based on quests, and which takes your character to level 6. This is very useful. NPCs can be approached if an exclamation mark (!) shows above it's head. Once you solve a quest the NPC who gave it to you shows a question mark (?) above it's head. Sometimes this is when you have brought an item the NPC wanted you to get as your quest.
I would urge you to take all the quests you can. They are in a sense the key to playing effectively.
My Spellweaver has now reached level 28 and operates entirely out of the Resistance Command Centre. Resistance against what, you may ask? In the game at large the main enemy is the undead and there are necromancers who worship this god and have the power to summon undead to attack their enemies. You can actually watch this happen when one of the Nefertiti you are confronting does this.
The Resistance Command Centre has a second task to confront Pillaging Dragon Berserkers that have the power to breath fire as an attack (in addition to melee). My Spellweaver's main area of operation is on the Burning Coast, accessed directly from the Resistance Command Centre. I believe the pillaging dragon berserkers were responsible for turning the Burning Coast into a burning hell, littered with burning buildings, ruins and abandoned wagons, etc. But no doubt all will be made clear later in the game.
