If you have the Pet Pal trait, talk to animals too.

There are quite a few side-quests in town besides the main murder investigation (and pursuing that storyline as far as possible will net you some nice experience as well.) Talk to any named NPCs, as chances are they’ll have something for you to do. You’ll want to be around level three before venturing out into the wild. Make Yourself at Home: When you get to the town of Cyseal (just after the post-tutorial fight with some orcs on the beach) stick around there to level up for a bit. Spend some time at delightful local carnivals.

The tutorial teaches useful basics like “fire will blow up poison” and “hey, you can move boxes and barrels around like this.” It’s helpful stuff to pay attention to, because those basics can blossom into more elaborate ideas and tactics later on. You’ll get an in-game scene where some guys run off with a magic stone. It’s the cave you encounter a short time after starting the game.

Keep in mind though that henchmen are silent and have no dialogue.Įducation 101: Do the tutorial dungeon. You also gain the ability to hire henchmen in basically every class and form quite early in the game, so you don’t have to plan your own selections around the two talking companions. If you do change your mind early on, it’s relatively easy to (say) branch a magic user into other “schools.”įitting In: The two additional companions you can recruit in Original Sin are a tank-ey warrior lady who’s good with two-handed weaponry and a water/air mage who can cover the “puddles/electricity” tactic. Don’t get too paralysed by the character creation screen. Just go with what sounds like a choice that’ll suit your style of play. As a general rule though, most classes seem to interact pretty well with one another so I don’t think you ever need to worry about making huge mistakes. Stay Classy: I don’t have any ultra-specific class advice to impart because I haven’t experimented enough with all the different permutations there. It’s pretty easy to spend an hour or two on this screen.
