I played through the game as a strict survivor, here are tips.
Skills:
some very basic skills are, of course, pickpocket and lockpickm with pickpocket up enough you can just pickpocket Tingalf for gold, potions, daggers and other weapons.
Lockpick can also be used to open uo numerous chests and other things for more special items to sell.
also, Death Gift is a great thing if you get over your head, always carry a supply of 15 or more scorpions with you.
The spell were you use stamina to go invisible is also a great skill.
Try to max up assassains kiss to use your daggers more ffectivly, a good dagger is one of the numerous Long Daggers, doing 30-50 damage, use assassains kiss, boost that to 60-100 50% of the time. with some that have other things, fire damage, poison damage, frost, you will be invinsible.
Rangers sight is good also, for avoiding big bands of orcs skeletons, and other enemies.
If you steal everything you find, and sell it, you shall have enough money to buy anything you need, that you haven't stolen.
Stats:
for stat points, its good to boost agility to 35, with every third level up, putting 5 points in Constitution.
once you get up to 35, boost constitution to 50, than strength to 60, once strength is there, boost agility, with every 4th level up putting 5 in constitution.
weapons: good daggers and bows are very good, maybe even the deathknight sword from Pedro.
I hope this! ask me any questions you might have. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
