Greedfall

• There will be some political shenanigans maybe half way though the game - until then, do your companion's quests promptly.

• After then, make sure you visit the Bridge alliance to get their quests. The game doesn't tell you they're available at that point and you'll miss out if you don't check.

• Visit all the main cities and do the main quest there until you get a companion. I missed out on one for hours because I was doing other stuff. There is only one companion per faction so if you get them right away go to another city and grab the next companion.

• If you're trying to find secrets movement abilities and lockpicking are the best for that. You can get around this by swapping out capes and equipment.

• There isn't a unique set of sailor clothes, much to my disappointment, but there are uniques for most other things.

• Other than treasure chests every container in this game will eventually refill after 1 in game day, maybe 2.

• If you buy the DLC you get some weapons that make early combat far more manageable.

• Combat quickly becomes about making sure you have grenades or guns or something that attacks armor. Exploring around outside of your level isn't going to be worth it until you have something like that. The armor/health mechanic seems to heavily favor firearms and alchemy in general.

• You eventually find a fair amount of mods and equipment that can boost your skill check abilities, so you don't want to max any skill right away.
