Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General Starting tips...

I just started with DD and chose a male survivor. I started with Assassin's Kiss which is supposed to be a backstabbing skill but it seems to activate regardless of position. Does this mean a survivor will lean towards knives and daggers? Since there is no dagger skill...

Another thing, I can shoot from my bow even if my enemy is right in front of me. Should I then shift to bow instead of upgrading my Kiss skill? The special arrow attacks seem cool tho and I can kill from afar...

Also, I have yet to find a locked door I could pick (seems to be all levered). Is this a useless skill? Repair seems to work 100% (at 1st level repairs 60%?) so level 1 ought to be enough?

Assassin's Kiss works with all knives, daggers, etc. Even with the skill maxed, there are swords which do more damage. Use a bow if you are so inclined, or switch back and forth depending on the situation.

Most of the doors in the catacombs are unlocked with levers, but you will start running into chests, etc. which do need to be lockpicked. Level 5 of Repair will get you the most for any loot you sell, but since money is not a problem, level 1 is good enough.
