Tomorrow Season 1 will begin and I want to start with a new character then.
I’m currently playing a Rogue at Level 50 and I am at Act V. When I play through the game before starting Season 1 with a new char, does this make a change? Can I skip the story completely after completing the game once?
Finishing the campaign unlocks the campaign skip for new characters. Seasonal characters will not be able to access seasonal content (malignant hearts, extra story, etc) until the campaign is complete or skipped… so unless you feel like playing through the whole campaign again, you’ll want to complete it with your eternal character first.
You also have to complete the campaign to play the new questline they added. According to the stream 2 weeks ago
Can I skip the story completely after completing the game once?
Yes.
Also, map exploration and shrines are account-wide.
Oh I thought you needed to complete the game before you could even play season?
I’ve been spending the last couple of days hunting down Altars of Lilith. Man that took forever! lol
