| Oh, OK. I get it. In my past character set-ups I've hit the 'accept' button before experimenting there. I played with it last night. And I see the reroll function. It's really tough to pick a character's attributes, not knowing the game. The most common is probably creating a killing machine, but that's not my style, really. I like the crafty ones but lacking great game playing skills... So I'll be a killing machine for now. This is a great game, as fun (and perhaps more) than any RPG I played on the PS1.
I haven't gotten the stealth thing going yet. I tried it and the enemy saw me right away. I suspect I have to level up to increase that skill before it works for me. I still haven't gotten a character past the second level in this game. I started yet another character last night (that's why I don't get very far) with less brains and more brawn. I'm getting better and have even killed a few wolves.
Tell me if I'm doing this wrong. When I get in a fight, with swords (I confine all my fights so far to arrows and slings) I place the character close enough to slash. Do I leave it there or will moving the character around a bit prevent hits to my character? When I have been in these physical slash fests in the past, I get my butt sliced. And when a character gets serious hacked in the field, it's hard to heal without the blue bottles. I don't want to use them up.
I see you guys sometimes talk about coordinate points in the game. How does one gain access to those?
Thanks again for all the feedback. You're really helping me get the hang of this game. If there is a particular place online that explains more about the stealth features and other fine points of the game, let me know. I lost my original game notes some time ago and can't find the strategy guide I think I bought years ago.
I check out the walk-through on this site from time to time. It's quite good.  |
