Hi, I've just starting and I wish to know some base rules to go through this incredibly fantastic game.

1. Is there a Night/Day cycle?

2. What is the scale: real time / game time?

3. Do characters need to eat? (Or maybe food is used like potions?)

4. What is the maximum level reachable?

5. Do enemies respawn? (or certain generic enemies)

6. Do Ingredients respawn? (like plants collected)

7. It is possible return to zones already explored? (for example Cyseal). And it would be useful return?

8. Which kind of objet can I toss/sold safety? Ones say "sell it", but others like books of recipes already learned?

9. Is there a complete wiki for this game? (I know few wikis but all of them are pretty empty)

10. Finally the most expected: Is there a modders comunity like Nexus mods where find mods well ranked easily?

These for now, thanks! smile

Nope, think it's possible that it will be added later.

Nope, they don't need to. But there's lots of benefits to it and lots of food to craft.

4. What is the maximum level reachable?

Even with missing a few quests and not killing all enemies, I hit level 21. Level 20 is recommended to be at when finishing the game.

None of them respawn.

None of them respawn, but they can be easily acquired through merchants.

You can definitely revisit Cyseal, there is only one zone which I know of which you can't return to, and it's a dungeon which is part of the zone you go to around halfway through the game.

Sure, sell the ones which say sell it. There's also things like chalices, paintings, cups which you should sell. Basically, keep every item if you know it's useful (or don't know if it's not useful, especially ingredients). Books and treasure maps are okay to sell back once you learn their recipes/secrets. Don't sell the diaries and journals or notes though, they'll be helpful or perhaps required for quests and you'll have to track back and find the NPC you sold important items to.

There's a lot of content, most people don't have time to spend very long amounts contributing to wikis when they just want to play. So there wouldn't be a complete wiki by now.

A nexus page will probably come up (or probably already has), there's also the Steam Workshop.

I'm not sure about the real time/game time scale.

Many thanks, that's enough to begin, it is a huge game to enjoy calm with a cup of coffee.

Also I want to know how to backstab, in combat with the rogue sometimes the "backstab icon" appears but sometimes is impossible to make it work. Is automatic right? or do I need to activate in some way?
