Your journey begins with character creation, a pivotal moment that defines your starting attributes, skills, and equipment. You'll answer a series of questions about your character's background, which will influence your initial stats. For example, choosing a noble background grants higher starting Charisma and Intelligence, while a hunter background boosts Agility and Bow proficiency.
After the background, you allocate skill points. It's generally recommended to focus on a few key skills rather than spreading points too thin. For a combat-focused character, prioritize Weapon Master, Ironflesh, and your chosen weapon skill (e.g., One Handed Weapons). For a leader, Leadership, Persuasion, and Trainer are excellent choices. pick a starting weapon that aligns with your chosen combat style. A good starting point for beginners is a balanced character with decent combat skills and some leadership potential.
