* Non-hostile creatures, they can often be aggroed by events, conversation choices, or taking their belongings ("you see a day-old piece of cheese belonging to a rat"). Look before you grab. | |||

* Regarding Strength and other stats: IIRC there are few or no ways to improve them during the game; if you roll bad stats, just create a new character instead of pushing through (for Strength, 25+ is ok) | |||
* Don't use the clunky command bar. Click & drag RMB is a far easier and more versatile option for interacting, LMB for looking around (1/2/3 for looking up/down). After some trial and error you might even get some early/clunky WAXD+mouselook. | |||
* Shift-J is a standing long jump. The manual probably mentions it, but it's a lifesaver. | |||
* Different types of weapons have different optimal attacks; e.g. for swords it's the bottom stabbing one. | |||
* At some point (late-ish) during the game you'll get an Enchant Item spell. It's extremely powerful and stacks about a dozen times (upgrading the item all the way to Unsurpassed). If you cast it on a magical item, it'll upgrade the existing enchantment (damage, accuracy, etc.); if you cast on a mundane item, you'll get Toughness, which makes it lose durability more slowly. It's sometimes worth hoarding minor magical items to upgrade later. | |||
* At some point during the game the castle servants will go on strike. Do try to appease them, otherwise you risk breaking an essential step of the main quest. | |||
