Starting Lionheart tonight. I'm just experimenting with the various races and statistics, so if any of the veterans here feel they want to share a few pointers with me, please do. :)

Just do whatever you think is good for you. I didnt finf the game to difficult, and most of the fights you cant manage you can do later in the game.

I would recommand to specialize and dont distribute your skillpoints to much over different skills.

Thanks

Thank you. I've started playing, and though I get a strange feeling that I'm playing a souped-up Diablo, as a history buff I'm enjoying myself. Went for the Feral race, since I've got the feeling combat is what it's mostly about. It sure ain't Fallout Fantasy like I was told, but I'm starting to get involved a bit.

Any thoughts on what's better, melee or ranged weapons?

I prefere massive melee damage, and spells for range.
But i heared that rangedamage can become a realy killer if properly used

I'll try it out. I've always fancied ranged combat. :) Though how I'll ever afford decent weapons is beyond me at the moment... :rolleyes:

From my experience, an archer character is the way to go. Just be sure to check the readme file for perk requirements. The manual has quite a few of them wrong.

Thank you. That was usefull. *sigh* What to choose... Someone told me a brute of a fighter with a bit of lockpicking skill was all I needed in the game...

Ooooookay, now I've restarted this thing for the 3rd time, and I'm finally getting the hang of it. So now for the big question: Which group do I join? I'm doing quests for the Order of Saladin and the Thieves Guild, but what then? I realise the Inquisition are slime, and since I'm a feral that would be pretty poor roleplaying, so that leaves the rest of them. Any thoughts or hints?

Choose what you want, but from a rollplaying perspective i would go for the wielders

I like the Inquisition bonus the best. But if you're avoiding them then it's probably Wielders next.

The Beggars give a better reward than the Thieves btw.

Well, I went with the thieves because it suits my character. I must say I'm a bit perplexed. I've done a lot of odd quests, even killed an admiral, but I don't seem to get any clues about what's going on. Also, it's really sad to have to pick between a powerhouse fighter and a diplomat/rogue because the lines and xp are so tight. Apart from that, I'm really enjoying myself. :)
