Damn game meant a 4am bedtime.
But so far so good and have some decent items. Level 5 right now and trying to develop my crafting skills. Been over most of the starting location and completed about 6 quests.
Running the 32bit version on a 970 and not had any issues.
The questing can get to be a BIT of a time sink. Decide on specialties and put points into opening stuff that speeds up crafting.
Getting each buff (I think there were around 8, 9 or 10, I forget) takes double the.... research time per item (and you need an item with the buff to sacrifice for researching, it's one of the few times interacting with people is needed - get someone to make you an item with the buff to research) so e.g
E.g: Heavy Axe -
1st buff - 15 minutes
2nd buff - 30 minutes
3rd buff - an hour
4th buff - 2 hours
5th buff - 4 hours
6th buff - 8 hours
7th buff - 16 hours
8th buff - 32 hours
9th buff.... etc.
Repeat for each weapon type, each armour piece (per armour type so light, medium and heavy), depending on crafting skills taken etc.
Only I think it starts longer (takes about 2 weeks for the last buff on a particular item, something like that). Just get into a habit of fixing it, keeping a rough idea of the time it'll be done and sorting it soon as you can when it completes
you don't need EVERY buff on EVERY item but some folks ARE completionists
Disclaimer: I've not played in forever so It might have changed

Me and the missus took different classes and were working on completing our trade skills. In the end, got a bit bored with it and were just logging in to sort the damn buff types
