Things You Ought to Know Before You Start
Character Creation
1) DO NOT try to make a Jack-of-All-Trades! This is a bad idea.
2) Specialize in...something...anything.
3) Persuasion, Streetwise, and Impersonate work well together.
4) Lore and Crafting work well together.
5) Non-combat characters can and should avoid all combat.
Combat-Weapons
1) Step One: choose between Block (shields) or Dodge (no shields).
2) Stick with your choice! Ignore the other.
3) Pick one weapon type and stick with it!
4) Only combat-focused characters should consider using big weapons.
Combat-Armor
1) Every armor has a cap on Action Points.
2) Find out how many APs your character has.
3) If an armor has an AP cap <= your AP number, it might be a good choice.
4) In general, look for the highest DR (Damage Reduction) you can get without AP loss.
Story
1) The world is made up of a few main story areas, and many smaller areas.
2) Leaving one main story area (like Teron) for a new one auto-completes most quests.
2a) This can be upsetting if you aren't prepared for it!
3) Smaller areas can be visited freely without auto-completing quests.
4) Previously visited main story areas (like Teron) can be re-visited freely too.
Finally
1) Mouse over anything that looks like it might be interesting.
2) There are many interesting things hidden in plain sight.
Have fun!
