for using magic items or relic items you need first to unlock the respective trait
Dang, no wonder I couldn't equip it. guess I'll sell both of them since I'm just going to stick with melee weapons
The combat isn't bad, just very difficult. Lona is a malnourished war orphan, she isn't going to be taking down anything tougher than starved refugees, rats and the odd lone goblin on her own without good equipment and a lot of training (levels). The game actually encourages you strongly to avoid combat, rewards for defeating enemies are lousy, little xp and next to no decent loot, and even if you fight perfectly you'll still be spending a good deal of stamina that could be better spent doing almost literally anything else.
Hold down control to advance dialogue quickly without selecting a choice. Someday there will be an instruction manual.
Ah, that makes a lot more sense and also definitely intended in the setting the dev's making. Also, I didn't realize I was getting shit xp from fights since it never told me how much xp each kill was unless I go check it myself. Still, I do have some gripes with enemy moving around way too fast, too frequently. And letting your companion fight is the way to make fights more fair as they also have access to the movement and also good tracking on the enemy. But, I can live with it.
Cooking better food is necessary for Hell and doom difficulty. Otherwise, make good soup is enough (1 vegetable + 1 raw meat/fish). Minimum scout of 3 or 5 is pretty much necessary to use hide skill (ctrl button) especially when Lona is melee combatant.
oh okay that make sense. For the scout thing, the tutorial gives you enough points to invest it all into scout to gain access to sneak so I just did it.
It already got much more forgiving than in the past.
That's pretty funny cause I went in expecting the soup to rot because of the other food options that are available.
Yes, the cauldron skill had be unlocked at 10 (15? can't remember) survival.
Okay that's kinda gross actually wow. That's so much investment.
Soups and raw food (vegetables, fruits, meats) will rot on Hell and Doom difficulties. Food bar also drop at 30 points instead (21 points in Hard mode) every half day.
