* The game will tell you that it's safer to travel by roads. This is a lie - you will probably get attacked by more bandits travelling by road than you would by just beelining through the wilderness. | * The game will tell you that it's safer to travel by roads.

* BUT, when you're starting the game, it's a good idea to do a circuit of the roads around the Imperial City. You'll run into some good intro quests to get you started with some decent items and rewards. | * BUT, when you're starting the game, it's a good idea to do a circuit of the roads around the Imperial City.

* The way the default leveling system works is this - the more you use your major skills, the faster you level up. The problem is that monsters scale up with your level, and so while you might not be racking up great modifiers, they will be. This will make them much harder to kill. Ideally, you'll be racking up one or two +4 or +5 bonuses every time you level, but this can be highly unrealistic. | * The way the default leveling system works is this TEMPORARY-DASH-CHARACTER the more you use your major skills, the faster you level up.

* The easiest way to counter this (and the only way on consoles) is by making a custom class. After selecting your race, birthsign, and major attributes like usual, select skills that you'll barely use as your major skills and the handiest skills and ones you intend to use most often as minor skills. To level up you will have to use those major skills often in a really tedious fashion like bludgeoning summoned skeletons to death. | * The easiest way to counter this (and the only way on consoles) is by making a custom class.
