Example 3: if you play with a human character, the +10% experience perk is excellent because you will level 20% faster (it combines with your racial +10% experience boost.) It's like getting a bonus level every 5 levels. So by the time everyone else is level 10, you are already 12. This isn't true....

It only makes sense to pick traits, which will scale well. Sure, 20 health might sound mighty good when you are level 1, but will you be happy with your choice when you are level 15? To that end, you will benefit the most if you select something that increases in strength as time progresses, or at l...

I've built a party that is designed to level very fast compared to a supposed average one. I wonder if it worked and so I'm curious what level are your characters at certain points of the game. Completed the Shipwreck Beach: levels x / x / x / x Completed the Twigroot Forest and Tunnels: levels x / ...

There is more food than can possibly be eaten. I have filled 3 or 4 crates with it and lately I've just been eating 50% foods even if I'm just a little hungry. Sometimes I don't even pick it up anymore. For the record, so far I've explored the River, Bog, Island, and Pyramid. And, of course, everyth...

I am thinking about creating a small custom map, which would take place in setting that I'm developing via a series of short stories. The primary goal would be to help me better visualize (and thus better describe) some locations, but since I'm going to be spending time on it anyway, I guess it woul...

Yes, it's odd that the firearms are so incredibly unreliable. Given that the first weapon you find is a flintlock pistol, it would be understandable if it look a long while to reload or if it often failed in the rain, but otherwise it should work nearly always and deal massive damage compared to thr...

Maybe the laws of magic in the mountain/island are different?

You do NOT need to find scrolls to cast spells. Just figure them out yourself. If Fireburst is top left rune, then what might water be? I figured out 3 or 4 spells before ever finding them, based on the logic behind some of the ones I found. For instance I am using fireball right now, but I don't ye...

I am not buying the whole "alchemy is necessary" thing. So far I've not brewed a single potion or made a single bomb. I've used two of the health potions I found and one fire bomb. The rest is just sitting there, waiting for some boss or something. Here is the party I have along with the r...

Oh, that's a bracer, not a ring! I'm sorry, I has the dumb. =)
