~FIRST IMPRESSIONS~

First impressions from my recent playing of the more popular and more sophisticated gaming I was wondering if there was going to be a practise arena where you can fine tune your magical powers and learn how to defeat the monsters with spells of some sort. Well however you are giving some help in the form of Artix who is indeed friendly and give alot of information about the world of Lore.

He told me all about the tactical side of the battles for example

1. How to defeat monsters.
2. How to perform spells
3. How to use different weaponry on monster due to the special abilities. So you focus on the weak side which could Earth, Fire and Water.

So all the above helped my understanding of the game, and become familiar with new sense of this genre which is Role Playing Games (RPG)
Another friend whom you have to help you in Twilly, his appearance makes him look friendly and also he look like a sort of Yoda(STAR WARS)whom has all the answers to every young apprentice so you can see some slight hint of intertexualilty. So Twilly is like a helper for all the beginners of the game and try to increase your knowledge of the game itself, and finally it some to my attention he can heal you so you can get your health point back
Moving on the homepage is the main control centre of the whole game play of the game. On the homepage you can equip your weaponry arsenal with a variety of weapons.


the above screenshot shows my avatar using the weapon called the Long Sword and the special abilties it has which is the Earth.

~INITIAL REACTION~

So from the actual start of the playing adventure quest,you get to grips with all the surroundings of the world of lore,firstly from the start you have to create a avatar. each avatar can be personalised by the following
Hairstyles
Hair colour
Eye colour
Skin colour
this is limiting the actual appearance but i believe the creators of the games want people to get playing as fast as possible.you get a choice of picking a mage,rogue and,fighter.so each style of avatar has a slightly different appearance and special abilities.So i created an avatar and arrived at the home screen which the starting point of the all the missions or battles that take place.i firmly believe the creating a avatar help the gamer emerge into the game and giving a more better experince to the gamer.

Each character has its own special ability for example water,fire,wind,earth so each individual character is completely different in appearance and power.Firstly each character has is own HP which are is health points as you progress with the whole game you hp points increase so you can fight longer in battles with other creatures/monsters.

here is a picture of my avatar


after playing the game for the first time you start to ask questions like who are the intended audience and furthermore which type of people varying from ethnicity to gender prefer this style of gaming and why.
