Is there an actual, at least somewhat updated walkthrough or event checklist for the game?
Wiki seems horribly outdated.
Game is mostly about making money and lvling up stats to beat the main quest fights. Unique NPCs sometimes need some specific things or choosing the correct dialogue, but wiki works for that except for dwarf city part which was added recently.
After getting used to the game its very easy, you need 1 tank in front row and atleast 1 mage with AOE magic, focus their professions and race to optimise magic damage and armor/health/dodge and you win. (do pay attention to enemies resistances, some are pretty much immune to certain elements) Money isnt really a problem after very early game, and even then if you for example get a dragonkin as a starter and sell their skin and scales, its easy untill you get to smithing at which point money means nothing. Quests which now refresh daily are also very easy money, just dont take the annoying ones. Dungeons can net a lot of money, and slaves for slave delivery quests or improving your stats.
Also remember to check market everyday, holding shift while mousing over items shows what they are made of and at workers guild you can take them apart after buying upgrade. some rare stuff like adamantine, dragon bone etc is faster to get this way. When you advance in main quest you unlock elf capital, if you leave 1 useless slave there you can check the elven market aswell everyday, they have negative trait removing consumables for sale rarely.
