haed: I've started a few games with the Paladin and I found myself dying too frequently over and over again on the easy difficulty setting. So I watched that YouTube Let's Play posted earlier in this thread and learned one vital piece of information: A perfectly balanced character is a dead character. You simply cannot balance your stats, you must focus on the strengths of your chosen class. For instance, I started with a Paladin and evenly distributed my stat points and got destroyed. So on my third attempt, I only put stat points in Strength and Constitution, and now I find myself able to handle the earlier quests without wasting all of my gold on healing potions. So as a Thief, for instance, you might want to dump most of your stat points in Strength if you're looking to use swords over bows. If not, dump them in Dexterity. Also, I find it useful to have a high Constitution for a health boost. This is all, of course, my own opinion and I don't claim this as the right way to do things. Happy gaming guys and gals!

VacGOG: A Thief who dumps all their points into Strength isn't going to be much of a Thief. Most of their skills focus on Dexterity and Intelligence, and he can only use Disciple-level melee weapons.

It's actually a fairly easy leveling system, though, because each skill mastery lists its requirements.

I've spent a lot of time with both the Thief and Paladin so far, and the Thief was easier in the beginning - as he could attack from afar - but my Paladin eventually became a walking tank of death. My Thief now is much squishier. But I still have a hard time deciding which to play, because the Thief has some nice skills, abilities, and can become a Duke/Baron. On the other hand, the massive shields and weaponry of the Paladin are a little more fun to use and visually exciting than a bow and arrow. I'm just concerned that the Paladin will have a harder time with debilitating diseases and debuffs, as he can only reach the second mastery level for spells.

ArbitraryWater: I'd like to know how to cross the collapsed bridge in the iron mines, if we're just randomly asking for walkthrough tips.

DaulphinosSmaf: Use levitation or find a secret passage.

Wargamer234: The only real question i have is how to gain acess to the Knights building where your first arrest is supposed to be.

pepato: Me too!!!

haed: Yes very good point. You probably wouldn't want to be a Thief if you plan on using swords or other melee weapons, especially since weaker characters will take quite a beating up close. I agree that decking out a Paladin in cool armor and shields is much more fun than firing a bow. But as you said, the diseases and debuffs seem like they will pose a problem, especially later in the game. I have a hard enough time dealing with simply being poisoned because there's just no way to efficiently remove it other than to wait it out next to an NPC healer or waste potions. If there is a decent way for the Paladin to cure diseases and poison I haven't discovered it yet...
