* You don't have to max Open/Closed Palm to gain most of the benefits. They main link is the special magical styles Stone Immortal (open) and Tempest (closed), where you need more than 75% to gain the highest boost. You do get an item near the end of the game, if you max it, but it's not a gamebreaker. That being said, you are probably still best off just picking a path and sticking to it, because the differences in philosophy are quite different.

* It's a Bioware game. Choose to be either a good or bad dude, talk to all your buddies for backstory, and do every sidequest you can. Despite the game insisting that it has moral depth, the Open Palm and Closed Fist options are always obviously evil or good.


* Talk to your companions after each major mission. They usually have something new to say, and if you miss too many, you may not have enough triggers left to actually get to the end of certain dialogue chains.

* Invest points in Chi over Health or Focus. Due to chi healing, your chi bar can be used as a second health bar that also lets you shoot fireballs. Focus is only used for using weapon styles and focus mode. Focus Mode isn't all that helpful in the long run, and weapon styles don't need that much focus as long as you upgrade their reduction stat.

* Flip all the time in combat. Enemies can do a lot of damage if you're not paying attention.
 
* Check the cemetery in the capital very carefully - there's a sword or staff upgrade hidden in an inconspicuous spot, and those are quite rare.
 
* If you're a dude and you want to bang another dude, avoid expressing any interest whatsoever in girls.

* In 90% of the quests where the option is available, if you can avoid a resolution or delay it (like if you're asked to give someone flowers and have to choose between giving them cheap flowers right now or going to look for more expensive ones) you should do so, because the reward will be better.
