The roleplay aspect of your character really shines in this game too.

Whether EQ is "brutal" or not depends largely on when you grew up and how good you are at video games. It's rough if you mess up a lot, or if you grew up during the "level skip y/n" millennial easymode era.

If you decide to give it a try, the community is usually quite helpful for newer players. Toxicity exists but it's mainly confined to the high-end and that small portion of the game can be wholly ignored if desired.

Games in the 90s were designed as a challenge, not entertainment.

It very much retains a lot of 80s classic RPG genre that doesnt get much attention anymore.

EQ is a niche nowadays as most old RPGs are. If you fit into that niche, EQ is gold.
