Bears will kill very experienced players.  Really at your level (exactly 2) you should be doing the basic dungeons or crafting to level up.  Doing part time jobs for holy water, selling for 10k per 10, and then going for crafting tools (splitting axe, sieve, potion kit, etc.) and you can gain some decent experience from crafting.  This only really works up to level ~10, or in massive bulk later levels (like 50 crafting attempts).

Really, there's a LOT of things you can do.  Any you've managed to pick all the wrong ones   Finishing G1 is actually designed for low-levels, giving very decent rewards.

Well, it was a bear cub, technically.  But, yeah, I was wandering around the whole damn continent before someone told me to switch channels, and then I'm trying to get back to the starting town and SUDDENLY BEARS, THOUSANDS OF THEM. 

Also, crafting sounds sweatshop-y.

I think the "shadow realm" you entered is the way the game has the instanced tutorials work... it's Tin's combat classes right? You shouldn't have any problems passing them if you do exactly what he says at each part.

Yeah, it was supposed to be an archer tutorial.  I failed it.  I'm apparently the "special" elf.

Also Nao is forever onwards the "titty fairy".

Yeah, that's her name.  I think her chest has serious gravitational pull.

[krisslanza]

Fun fact: Some NPCs have a bigger, or as big, chest as Nao. It's just only her model has breast physics.

That one villager in Cor.

[majikero]

Great, now I have to get more Nao stones just to see her twirl around in Rua's dress.

All this time I thought Nexon made money on fixed dyes and gatchas...  Now I know the truth!

Kusina, I think. Rua is probably about the same size. Morrighan as well, maybe larger.
Alexina is pretty large as well... actually, quite a lot. Juliet. Portia. The list goes on.

Really all that makes Nao stand out is her model has breast physics, since they never had to model it to actually do anything but that float-in and twirl.

[Girlinhat]

Nao's costume helps though, the others generally have unflattering costumes, while Nao rather specifically has the seam down the cleavage.  Nao is also encountered more often, since you rebirth.

Also unfair, Rua is a prostitute.  That's professional cleavage.  You even have to pay to GET IN THE STORE!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yes, cleavage.  Indeed fine sir.

[Ibid Straydrink]

Speaking of Rua, I dropped in on her last night for.. uhm.. help with the G9 quest! Interestingly enough, she offers a variety of services, from fortune-telling to some pretty in-depth life advice. It's well worth the 1000 gold entry fee.

Just tired it, wow are the controls clunky...
I chose Martial Trait, given Knuckles, First Skills/Active Talents gained....... Knight... WTF?
Graphics and Music are so jaring, the music is constantly loud until you turn it down and the Graphics are just overwhealming in colour and brightness until ONCE AGAIN you turn them down.... WAIT HOW DO I TURN THEM DOWN!?!
Menus are confusingly compiled onto one another and hidden behind another that a simple click on the wrong pixel that looks right will stuff you around...
Inventory, WTF IS WITH THIS CRAP!?
.....

Ok, I am sure I would get used to it after playing a while, but damn is it sadly unsupportive to new players, I wasn't even sure I created my character right and the Randomizer throws in Premium stuff so WHY are they even there as a character creator for a new character/player....

Did you read the tutorial on the website before jumping it? It's true that the game can very unintuitive to new players at times, but to be fair, it's fairly complex.

If you'd like some in-game help should you choose to give it another try, you might post your character name here.

First off, I agree whole heartedly, the combat is a little clunky when you start out, part of that is just the nature of the game, part of that is  almost certainly the fact that a controller would just support this sort've thing better. But there are a lot of skills and not nearly enough controller buttons so that's out. You will get over it in time, and realize things move a little slowly in game to make it possible to avoid dying in horrible circumstances (you'll be glad the goblins are running so slowly when three of them are running at you and oen hit is all it'll take to kill you. You'll probably die the first few times of these, but it makes it seem (and makes it period) much more managable. There's nothing quite like taking out the first goblin with a smash, knocking the second away with counter, and killing the third with a crit windmill. It will seriously make you feel like the king of badasses, it never doesn't.

As for the bright colors, it was made in korea for a younger audience (I think? skyrunner help) and just general has that semi "cutesy" look, bright colors are gonna be all over and it's never really gonna fade besides in dungeons and the shadow realm. Although in it's defense it really does make the cutesy look work without making it saccharine sweet either. It's a good balance.

If you give it another shot don't be afraid to join the guild, we have 200 slots and are using like 50 of them tops. And if we somehow do fill up we have alts to boot and mosto f the guild is inactive at this point. So don't worry about "wasting a slot". We'll be happy to help you come to terms with this assault on your senses!

If she's a prostitute, I'd never leave Bean Rua 
Though the guy behind the bar there, Lucas I think? Is apparently a complete and total bastard if you go into the backstory of some of the female characters, like Dilys.

@Neyvn:
Well it IS a game that is nearly a decade old by now, I think... the graphics back then were certainly cutting edge. Not so much anymore...

[bluejello]

so, mabinogi crashed on me, and when I go to launch it steam is updating it?  I didn't think it updated through steam...

[Skyrunner]

It wasn't aimed at anyone in particular, but it sure didn't have the same audience as the ones for Vindictus.

The chief art designer of Mabinogi (who has now resigned) said in an interview that his goal was to make a world that wasn't scary. That's why even the darkest dungeons aren't scary in terms of aesthetics.

[Girlinhat]

In a way, Mabinogi's lack of scary says a lot to the game and the setting.  It's interesting that in Errin you cannot die, you simply wake up later.  And you search for Paradise in G1, ending in in Tir Na Nog and realizing it's a wasteland, then Vindictus seems to be a prequel or parallel universe of sorts, where they seek the promised land, either implied or stated to be Errin...

It's a land of plenty, resources are in ridiculous abundance, where you cannot die, cannot starve, and jobs are available at any town at short notice... and yet you still search for something better?
