Eww, that'd be even weirder.


I found the first area in W3 a slog, it's kind of a really long 
tutorial.  If you do get it, and you find it a slog, I'd suggest trying 
the option to start in one of the DLCs so you don't have to go to the 
first area, you get to start with some gear and levels if you do that too.

The combat's o.k. Way better than 1 or 2.  The best part are the 
characters and interactions.  It's very adult in bits so be wary if that 
turns you off or you've got kids around.
