>>713840603>Is it possible to start a new file and go through the game the same way it was when it first came out?Genuinely no. Even if you just stick with PvE content, the design of units have DRASTICALLY changed over the 9 years of continuous play. Think of like going from Shadow Dragon NES straight to Engage. Eventually you just gotta learn how things have changed, between damage reduction, Engage Specials, Styles, Duo/Harmonic skills, units that refresh themselves, Arcane Weapons, Attuned Skills, Beast Transformation effects, and how to kill the Black Knight.
It isn't difficult to just check in, do your dailies, and log out, I doubt the average daily playtime for most players go past 3 hours.
>>713841626It's simpler than it was shown. Vanaheimr gods can just form a child with a mortal out of a pact. One timeline the Summoner said yes, creating Heidr. Like Seidr, she gets sent to the past to get cursed to become the golden snakes, which will cause Seidr to also get cursed, fall into despair and become Gullvieg. Gullvieg, realizing there's no origin point for Heidr, so no origin for becoming Gullvieg, sends Heidr back to repeat the process.
