Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General idiot posts?

Hi gang, I couldn't find a newbie thread and I hope I'm not posting in the wrong place.
Just installed this game over the weekend, been poking around, mostly dying, and I have a few questions. First of all, where the heck am I? I can't seem to get back to any safe place above ground before being brutally assalted. Is there any way to retrace your steps? I've opened a few doors, walked into some portals, and have gotten hopelessly lost. I did have those pyramids earlier, in a previous game, but don't seem to have them now, but they do seem to be an option in my skills? but they're greyed out.

Ok, enough babbling. I'm going to read the manual and start over. Any tips are greatly appreciated.

to keep track of where you are, try using the map which will overlay aprt of your active screen - you can place markers on the map in your journal also to mark where you have been (and so you can retrace your steps to leave.

You get one pyramid when you open the entrance to the catacombs. you can use it at some point and it will take you to the second pyramid. After that, leave one pyramid in a safe resting place (an empty house with a bed would be a good idea), and carry the other one with you and use it to transport to your resting place. After resting return to the second pyramid, pick it up, and continue on.

Good luck and hang in there. The first part is the hardest.

Hmm, I don't know what to tell you. I started by playing a warrior, and have been able to progress fairly well. Where are you stuck? I eventually got the teleportation pyramid while exploring the first dungeon. If you have any specific questions, I’ll try and help. It’s been a great game so far, from the little I’ve played of it.

Step 1: Don't leave the town until you restore Mardenus' sanity. You'll need the experience points.
