* Because renown is so rare try to fight everything. During the "war" battles you'll be given an option of fighting more enemies without stopping. If you think you can handle it pick it because each kill is +1 renown and it adds up quickly.

* You're rewarded for role playing to your type. The survival of your clan is priority #1. Being indecisive, taking easy options, and trying to min/max the game results in egg on your face. Stealing a farmer's cattle or ignoring a person being attacked by bandits may make you feel like shit but you'll usually get a renown reward or won't have to deal with the fallout of extra mouths to feed. Sometimes the game will kick you in the balls but just roll with it. Avoid reloading old saves. If you've played Telltale's The Walking Dead you should know what to expect.

* The battle system is kind of wonky. You switch turns after each character moves. This means that the larger your party is, the more your opponent's individual characters will act before you do and vice versa. If you overwhelm the enemy and have a guy caught in the open, they'll likely die as they get attacked several times before they can act. Because of this it's important not to spread your party across the map especially if you move a character into a group of enemies that haven't acted yet.
