Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks New to DD

Hey all,
I got some small questions:
First i'm new to the game and i have no idea what character to make, they look all so cool that i just can decide what to play so i would like to get some help in what to play <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Second if anyone can help me out on quests or maps or whatever i would appreciate it

Thanks all,

try warrior first time around as for quests and maps all the info is here in these forum pages (somewhere)! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

so you suggest a warrior ... Why? are the other classes to hard to start as?
or is warrior the most chosen class <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

i think alot of ppl choose war b-cuz warrior is stronger than rest so a little easier to defeat bosses <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> maybe i'm wrong! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/question.gif" alt="" />

Starter Tips? (Spoilers)

Warriors are most often picked because they are simple to play and are very well equipped to handle the first levels. When you first get a game, this helps the learning curve by only introducing you to basic skills and no spells. Wizards are often considered to be "Advanced" classes because you require a lot more concentration, understanding and skill to play them properly.

so warrior is better to start as, schould i use sword axes hammer or bows?? please give advice hehe <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

sword are the most common weapons in the game. So i suggest to use swords <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

can anyone tell me where the heck i found that royal sword......it was early in the game in Aleroth somewhere? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> the 1st time it had 1 slot, this time 3 slots +

and what skills should i get?
i'm level 7 (yay hehe) and i got sword expertice 2, aug damage 2, auq defence 1, repair 1 and i got some points left caus i didn't know what to choose

and what skills should an assasin get?

put a couple on poison weapon for sure
maybe some fire,lightning,or fire damage
identify
alchemy
pickpocket
telekinesis
enchant weapon

nothing on assasin's kiss? and how does backstab work or is that automatically

never used it i had a sword from the beginning, and asassins only works for daggers/dirks, and swords are so much more powerful <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

First time played a survivor-ranger, was relatively challenging, had to use scorpions in hard situations. Second time picked warrior and well no challenge at all. Mainly used swords and pushed up my passive damage skills as much as possible and a few points in the freeze spell. Then i got a sword with Frost(3) which basically seems to override the use of freeze completely and from there on it was all over for anything in my way :P
