Two questions for those who have already played the game.

Can you start a new game and character if by chance you finish all of the content and want to start over? Just wondering if it's like most games where you can have multiple saves and characters or if it's limited to one for some reason.

From everything I'm reading right now you're basically paying $30+ for the privilege of playing the game early while it's in development. Is there any advantage beyond that to buying it right now before it becomes "free to play" next year? It just seems like kind of an odd system to me, but maybe that's because I've never played an early access game before.

You only have one save and the game autosaves your progress. If you start a new game then you lose your progress in your old save. I had to do that because one quest bugged out and spawned a quest item behind a wall and I had to restart. Bugs like that will probably be fixed over time. You can take a backup of your save manually by copying the files in your appdata/localow/gameloft folder so it's probably a good idea to take backups so you don't have to restart in case you encounter a bug like that.

If you buy it now you will be able to play the game right now and also receive updates over time. There is a lot that you can do in it already. It doesn't feel like an early access game, it's very polished and you will get a lot of hours from it.
