  • First timers should pick a default class and pick an origin story.

  • You can fast travel to waypoints at any point throughout the game! check the buttons around your minimap!

  • Talk to everybody!

  • Get a bedroll as soon as possible! Healing outside the fights can be costly in the first part of the game. Clicking on a bed heals every character almost instantly.

  • Invest in Persuasion and let that party member do the talking to other NPCs.

  • Invest points in Lucky Charm and let that Character search all the containers.

  • Hit F5 to quick save your game frequently.

  • You should invest a few points in Telekinesis skill.

  • One of your characters should have points in Leadership.
