Welcome!

Mmmm. Tips for starting out? OK, here's one.

Pick a character that you can identify with - do you prefer hack&slash fighting, or casting spells? Do you identify most with Good or Evil?

The game takes several weeks to play straight through, which is why it is a good idea to decide exactly what type of character you want to play. When you create your character, read all the descriptions on the screen of all the different races and classes, because there are various benefits and restrictions.

I found it quite easy to get into the game, controlling your characters is done very easily using the mouse - just click where you want them to walk to, click on an enemy to attack or a friend to initiate dialogue, click on a door to open it - very easy to pick up.

I am sure you will have great fun with this game, the manual contains loads of information and is useful to refer to, but you don't have to read the whole thing to get the hang of the basics. Trial and error is much better, and if you have any more questions or any problems getting started, just ask us!
