I reached east side of island.
Now, I am not sure if I should explore that part, or go back and explore whole east part of Fort (full of magisters).
Does it matter if I explore east fort now or later, or order is important (explore east fort now/later/does not matter)?
Is east fort optional to just go-and-kill-every-magister-you-see or is it must-explore (but do not tell me the reasons)?
I am still not sure, if enemies you met are scaled to your level so you are free to go anywhere at any time?
[SPOILERS] I also found dog Emmie, talked to her with "talk to animal ability", but not found any way to rescure her and other dogs, the quest just closed after I told her about Buddy.
Is this how it should be or is there something I could do to get them out of there?
After I win fight with torturer and went back to go down to hidden ancient dungeon, dogs (including Emmie) started to be my enemies, so I had to kill them all, because I wanted to reach and explore that hidden area.
I feel bad about that and wonder how could I enter ancient dungeon without this fight and if killing Emmie has any change to the game (maybe I could rescure this dogs somehow later? and even if not, I still feel bad about that).
