* Click to walk, double-click to run.  
* You can double-click to run and hold down the left mouse button to keep moving. Right-click or Tab highlight objects in the environment.
 
* At one point the game will ask you to investigate three locations where a certain event might have occurred. Two of these locations are behind plot-doors, you can't go there before the investigation develops further.  


* Soft locks and crashes happen. They'll probably still be a thing even after the game is patched. Save manually every so often (or even obsessively) so you don't have retrace your progress.

* Succeeding in checks isn't always good. Failing checks isn't always bad. Your skills don't necessarily have your best interests in mind.
* Succeeding in checks isn't always good and failing checks isn't always bad, so don't obsess too much over your build. You can get a lot of situational bonuses to your skills for things you do in gameplay. Your build goes a long way but there’s always a way to reach your goal, regardless of your stats.


* Don't obsess too much over your build. First of all, failing skill checks can be more rewarding than passing them. Second of all, you can get a lot of situational bonuses to your skills for things you do in gameplay. Your build goes a long way but there’s always a way to reach your goal, regardless of your stats.
* Your skills give a lot of valuable input, but also have their own preferences and personalities which don't necessarily align with what could be considered to be in your best interest. For example Electrochemistry tends to push you towards hard drug usage while Inland Empire often discourages you from investigating your past.


* Psyche and Phys are the less-safe stats to set to 1 because they (specifically the Endurance and Volition skills) give you your health bars; you heal when you sleep (in a bed) and also from some events, but that doesn't matter if you have 1 health out of a maximum of 1 and are thus entirely reliant on healing items auto-rescuing you from death. (You can improve your health directly with skill points though)

* Every point your Health or Morale is below maximum is a -1 to Endurance or Volition checks, so it's a good idea to stay topped up on health/morale.

* Most "bottleneck" main quest checks are white, and can be re-tried when you increase the relevant stat / when you change something in the game world to make the check easier. Don't keep reloading until you nail that 17% check - chances are that you'll be able to get back to it in time, possibly with enough modifiers to turn it into a 97% success.

* You can't really scrounge enough money to pay your hotel bill on day 1, unless you succeed in some checks and scour every corner of the map. Instead, you will have to ask Joyce Messier (Wild Pines representative on a boat in the north-west part of the city) or Kim to help cover your bill.
