New to game, have some concerns.

[Razorflame]

depends on what difficulty you play

you could have another person during that part of the game(the outskirter)
that is if u haven't killed him first

and you don't have to grind
but sometimes grinding a bit makes the game easier

you just need to take care of good skills and good level ups

Nice thread

Good information for new members like me

This game is fairly old school; you might as well clear every map(kill everything, uncover all fog of war, loot everything) before you go to the next area, otherwise you will be underleveled and poor equipment wise.

There is no respec either, points spent are spent unless you restart with a new character. Choose wisely...

Spoiler: If you killed the bandit in the very first zone, (in the dialogue) restart. You can only get Outskirter there, and he is basically the only decent Bow/Crossbow archer in the game, aside from wasting Victor as a bow user.

Spoiler: Rifles are ridiculously overpowered. To the point of comedy.
