I love that! Glad you got it. I will be trying it at some point, and I will save often...

Well I've solved the murder quest but don't want to go further with the main quest until I've completed some other areas of the beginning map that have been too hard so far. On my to-do list are the orc fight (really tough) in the southern area; going through the trapped house (haven't figured out how to bypass all the traps) in the southeast part of the map; fighting the fire creatures on the western part of the map (also very hard); and solving the puzzle in the church to open the locked gate inside.

I am enjoying this (in a masochistic limited sort of way) but all this would be a bit more fun if the difficulty were toned down a bit. Easy should be set so everyone can find enjoyment in a game. The other levels can accommodate the rest of the gamers who want different degrees of challenges. That way everyone would be happy. I feel the makers of this game are eliminating a large population of gamers who enjoy the easy level. I think they have shot themselves in their own pocketbook.

Based on reviews I have read, this game is quite difficult in the earlier stages but gradually gets somewhat easier the further along you get. That's probably not much comfort at this stage, but at least it's something.

Yes. I, for one, am sorely disappointed. There's no way a wimp like me could tackle stuff you Veterans are finding difficult - in order to reach a stage where I just might be able to cope slapforehead

For all those needing some extra help/info, I found this on the Larian site. It even helps you to find a strong team member early on:

Additionally for those (like me) who have been unable to figure out what skill goes for what I found this clarification.
Quote:
Aerotheurge (air/electricity), Geomancer (earth/poison/protection), Hydrosophist (water/ice) and Pyrokinetic (fire).
This has helped me when I want to concentrate on a particular element.

To divide items you hold down shift and drag the item to another square then you can choose how many to place in the new square.

To send an item to another team member you right click on the item and you are given a drop down menu.

Hope this helps.

Welcome to playing Divinity, Debra. I've been slugging through this and am wandering here and there doing partial quests and not really having any direction as to how to complete any of them. I think I have finished some quest by luck rather than by good management. I'm now at level 12. Are you still playing, oldman?

yep I'm still plugging along. I've restarted twice with new starting characters. I finally found out that for me, a Wizard and Rogue are the best fit. I made it each time to finding the witch and this time I am (I think) prepared to go on to the next phase.
Click to reveal..
I found the witch, got her blood and her spell so I can kill the invincible Death Knights (or whatever they are called. I've gotten the tenebrium skill so I can equip those weapons so maybe I'm ready for what's ahead.


I learned all this from researching the Larian boards and it was tedious work. I don't really know where to go or what to do next but at least I now have additional areas to explore and hopefully am equipped to handle them.

Thanks Rowan!
I've got a ranger (me), a battlemage, a stinky rogue and I don't know what Jahan is, but he can heal among his other magical abilities. That's a definite plus for me lol
I'm headed to Evelyn's Lair with tough fighting on the way. Even on easy you get attacked by twice the number of bad guys as your team is composed of. For me, there's a steep learning curve on the attack points and tactical positioning. I haven't died yet, knock on wood, but it's hard to keep alive.
I steal paintings like rip to get money (and anything else that's not red hot or nailed down), and I have found out that even though you get a weapon you can use, if it's higher than your level your attack points are docked for the difference.
I'm checking the Game Pressure guide for maps and some assistance to help me along and the Gameboomers of course.
Is there any way to make the rest of your party wait while your rogue disarms traps?
Any fighting tips from youal would be appreciated.

Debra in order to have a party member travel "solo" you just click on them and drag them to one side. You will see that they no longer have a chain between them and the rest of the party and are free to travel on their own. Hope this helps.

I'm playing this game also. I have found the manual to be very helpful.
The manual is here:

http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/230230/manuals/DOS_manual_05_web.pdf?t=1405593049

A helpfull tip I learned from reading the manual is that you can delay you turn. Say that Jahan (healer etc) is supposed to go first. On the right side of the screen there is a button you click where you can delay your turn.

Also, I have a mage as my female character and a fighter as my male character. The mage has the ability to summon a (big!) spider. It really is a great help...

Also, tips on fighting - try to get out of the way. And by that I mean try backing away. This way the enemies, especially if the outnumber you, have to move towards you first. Also, you do not have to use all your action points in one turn. You can save them for later. This game requires thinking ahead - think of it like a game of chess or checkers. And take out any mages and archers as quickly as possible..

Also, if you have Madora in your party (can be picked up in the King Crab Inn) have her use her crushing hammer hands ability. And have Jahan either teleport or litteraly take the air out of enemies.

This strategy is the one I've used yesterday to gain experience and to beat the enemies. Works well - at least for me...

Missed your questions, Debra. Had Internet and phone problems for the last two days and am finally back online. I'm a ranger, too, as usual for me. Just finished the troll king cave and am now trying to find the witch. I'm in the prison and can't get out of the cell. A mouse has promised to help if I give him some cheese ... just after I swept up crumbs from my inventory at a trader. Will have to go back to the trader and buy a piece of cheese back. hardwall

Thanks Karsten for all the tips! I learned some of them in the school of hard knocks, but I didn't know about the delay button. That will be helpful.
If you decide to flee a battle, why don't all of you go at once? Is there a way to make that happen?
Isn't that the way it always is Rowan? Just when you think you don't need something....
Last two questions for today. I don't seem to be leveling up very fast at all. Is it supposed to be this slow or does being on easy level cause it to be that way. I'm only on level four. I've done a few side quests, but I am focusing on the Jake's murder quests.
I can't seem to find the right way to get to Evelyn's Lair. Could someone point me in the right direction, please?

Click to reveal..
You have to do the fabulous five quest and go through the cave. After defeating the robot (or whatever he's called) you go to the end of the cave and there's an exit to get to the NW part of the map. Evelyn's Lair is in this area.


Also to everyone playing this game be forewarned. You need to gather all the star stones (or bloodstones as they're called) because there is a door near the end of the game that is unforgiving and will not open unless you've completed this. I believe there are 14 in all and the game doesn't let you know that this is a requirement.

I started another game because I couldn't remember which bloodstones I had not finished. I'm not sure if there is a workaround for it. I couldn't get any information on the Larian Boards except that you need them all.

Here is a list of where they all are located.

I declined to join the Fab Five. Now, Mendius won't let me join. Do I have to start the game over to get to Evelyn?
