there's still an old guide in the front page very old and outdated
Dont play on the hardest difficulty, go to the sewers & spend twenty hours save scumming getting to grips with the stealth mechanics and rescue system(this is the main gameplay loop, you have to get good at it to play the game), rescue like ten bitches, save before sleeping, eat raw meat then immediately sleep to not puke, sleep in the forest on the exit to reset food poisoning and save scumm gastroenteritis, collect at the barkeep, and buy sabre and dagger on the other side of the city, then do as you wish, or nothing, with your level ups, but recommended dmg or maybe scout
Also thoroughly or frequently checking the wiki is recomended as its easy to lock yourself out of content, but it may be lame to do in your first run, but the game's so grindy you probably wont replay it, maybe stagger your saves i guess

Getting this error with the Evil Scales quest. I get to the temple and when I enter (day or night) i get this issue. Help pls
Max scout while doing a normal high qual sabre playthrough i guess?, stealing from npcs gives you like nothing, just rob the bank every however long it takes to refresh, money and loot itself is kinda worthless in this game
If you want to rob the bank just walk behind the counter, throw a few rocks, and loot and run before the guards aggro, i think it lowers karma but you gain a ton from rescues and rescues are the best source of food anyway
i get it
it seems thief build is kinda meh since there are not much contents for it
yes, every now and then you steal a gold from some rando on the bar but its very rare and money is worthless because you get paid so much from rescuing and you have to do rescues just to restock meat
Or just hire the Treasure Hunter and do the Crystal Mines quest once or twice for your first level ups - dude can solo that and the boars in the rainforests along the way (use the Rally Trumpet skill to move your companions around, and don't throw them into a mess of enemies) - then start getting into the rescue system and all that jazz. Not that it's massively difficult, but rescuing is a fair bit easier around level 15-20+ than it is from your first go in the sewers.
Also, on the subject of stealth, as long as your character has about 5 SCU (as a stat, not the level-up trait), which can be achieved by early equipment and dirtiness, you can maneuver around most mobs just by walking around. Sneaking does make things easier in a lot of ways, but actually getting around undetected sometimes relies more on overwhelming violence (OHKOs, frag mines or longbow snipe shots being notable choices if you can't two-hit off of a stun) or time-consuming but zero-alert trap damage than it does actually having any scoutcraft levels, especially if you need to ferry around an NPC or two.
I did it level one and i think it builds character, it really prepares you for the rest of the game like that god awful cave rescue with the roamers and the shamans or whatever, easily the hardest part of the game

Not sure if anyone already knows how to fix this but I get this error message when I enter the fish camp after saving the fish guy in Sunrise Village. Any help would be appreciated.

i think? i dont remember, its the cavern on the sewers, you dont need the quest, if you show up there theyre gonna be waiting every time, rescue ten of them and you will have the money for sabre and dagger and the xp for high quality equipment to equip them, loot the clothes off the floor until you have all three that boost scout, if you go there and theres an archer or a shield guy or no one, just loot the meat, exit to the forest, sleep, save and enter again

Why would you rather give steam a hefty commission instead directly supporting the dev via the already existing platforms shown in the OP?

because the convivence of owning the game in a spot where all my games are, in a single spot that I can uninstall and install whenever I want without digging through secondary places for updates or bug fixs or forums
because its a one time payment for a game and not a life long sponge?
that is one of the many reasons someone might use steam to purchase a game instead of going through a subscription service or a niche platform
ill also add, that I most likely wont buy games outside of steam so in the end its well not my loss
