I 100% agree with this!
I like to try researching with my character using whatever tools/training he has, however this campaign (so far) seems to not have anything researchable by mundane means. As Elz said, the campaign is indeed heavily based upon planar/magical stuff, so it seems the only way to partake in research is by being blessed (communication with a god) or looking into the planar (divine stuff) or watching someone do either of the two.
I think so far there hasn’t been much for a regular character to investigate, it seemed the direction was more geared towards magical/blessed people. I might be wrong, but I also heard some players talking about how only blessed characters could get possessed?
It’s certainly too early to make concrete assumptions about anything, so I’m still keeping an open mind and looking forward to what opportunities are presented. As Mapboy said, I mean no hate for the campaign
The encounter at Niah’s event definitely drew me in when I was otherwise distracted from RP, and I’m looking forward to more!
