Its a Good game, I have beaten it once as a clavat, gotten stuck on a run through (under equipped) once, and many play throughs started with others that never made it past year 3. So much fun with multiple people. A back knowledge of the game will help a lot, as most of the places will be visited, so, your experience will be like if your character got told things from the mayor, or the past caravan, ect. Though, do not abuse it.
