So I picked this game up today, and have restarted it 3 times now. It seems like I keep messing up my stats. At first I tried to allocate them all evenly, with some emphasis on strength for more damage, but that ended up in horror with me doing little to no damage at all. It just wasn't working out, I thought. I lost too much health each encounter and was burning through food too fast.
So I began a new game and this time put all the beginning stats into Combat and unlocked some new cool moves. Now I was killing the generic brigands in two hits with my dagger thanks to the abilities abilities that Combat unlocked for me.
Then I sort of rushed to meet up with my uncle and I rested, but realized that doing that locked me out of one of the early quest where the guard asked me to clear out some of the brigands that were occupying the village, so I started a new game again so I could get that done.
Anyway, I've been doing a little bit better now, but still feel like I don't have a clear idea of the value of some of the stats. I'm level 3, and the last level I put all my stats into strength, but that didn't seem to make much of a difference in damage. Should I just concentrate mostly on Combat to unlock the new weapon skills? Those seem to have more of an impact in damage than strength.
Any other tips on survival are appreciated. I'm just sort of running around trying things and experimenting. So far I've learned that when fighting Brigands in the farm area, it's best to let them have the high ground. They seem to miss most of their hits that way and I can just whack them without taking much damage. The combat in this game is a bit amazing due to this kind of strategic depth.
