I must say, I was guilty of doing that in Aetolia. I made a bird-man (whatever they called it there) Priest. Hey, I enjoyed flying, especially since I was new to IRE and flying made me feel safe from those scary sounding mobs which I thought would aggro me.

Take a break for awhile, then come back.

I do take a break whenever I'm bored. Also getting to know more people helps immensely. BTW have you found a family yet? Fania will adopt you if you haven't (once she sees an Arlent again if for some reason that doesn't happen she will remarry). The Dekoven family is crazy -- just to warn you.

Make an Illithoid. Honestly, there's no other experience like it in the game, if you play it correctly. If you like games where you're the bad guy, Illithoids pull it off with aces. Everything and everyone around you is diametrically opposed to the very core of your existance. The challenge inherent in first adapting to mortal life, then learning to influence the situation around you through means other than you know how (KILL EVERYTHING) is daunting, but worth it. Everything you do to get ahead in life as an Illithoid has to be planned out, minds need to be swayed, because honestly, who wants to let a Soulless get any position of power? They'd have to be crazy to let that happen.

tl;dr, Illithoid is Lusternia on Hard Mode

I agree, take a break. Take as long as you need, and then you'll be craving to play again.

Story of my life.
