the catacombs are so deep ... creepy as shit, too. Wonder if they ever found a structure like that from Ancient Middle East / Europe @_@

If you git gud at the dagger dodge rolling, you can run past a lot of stuff to get to the next room. Might need more than min. level to reach discipline level 5 in strider for it, though. But I've done it a few times now. Can always reload from the last door. Really isn't that bad... And picking up and throwing those mages to insta-kill them w/ gravity is so satisfying.
Enemies can't hurt what they can't hit, ofc. It only works until you get knocked-down by a lunge or an AOE attack.

[ Myself, I prefer saving gravity for Banshees... ]

I lucked out getting physically attractive people as my beloved in my three playthroughs. I found out during my third post-game about how the romance system works.

Nah, don't listen to him. Go there whenever you feel like it. Absolutely don't quit the game w/o going there, if you decide the main game isn't for you.
Just remember running away from stuff is a valid strategy. You don't have to fight everything you meet.

If I recall Once you complete all the wyrm hunts and meet with the duke then if you stick to the main story missions only then I say about you're at the 3/4ths mark. The pacing in the last act is pretty bad.

It's a little iffy.

There's gonna be areas that you might want to explore really thoroughly rather than run straight through the remaining plot, but you could technically walk in and finish the area's plot in like ten minutes.

As an aside, once you feel comfortable taking on some of the big and fast dudes like Chimeras or maybe Griffins, I'd say you're okay to check out Bitterblack Isle.

Very, VERY carefully.

At least to the first "safe" zone after entering.

It'll get you access to some very nice things without making you wait too long.

Nah, Pawns made by your friends are free, and so are Pawns at and below your level. Oh, and the level of the support Pawns in your party affect your exp gains. Pawns stronger than you give less exp, whilst Pawns under your level give you more exp.

Omfg omfg omfg it's the best part of the game tho . How could you

you can get super duper OP w/ some classes and breeze through it eventually. Sorc is almost there but some enemies are fucking annoying. That said you can just run past them but I like taking my time

You can go to BBI quite early on the game, I've tried doing that but you have to run away from almost everything, and will eventually meet some damage sponge that kills you in one hit.

Now I just do BBI after beating the base game and getting into the post game, that way you get really good dragon weapons for your class and you get all your armor dragonforged. The base game is mostly really really easy and you don't need anything from BBI to completely crush it.

One tip for BBI is to look into some augments from other vocations that would suit your preferred vocation. Like I always play as strider, and early on I get vehemence and clout from fighter and warrior, which raises my strength by 30%, in other words making all my physical attacks 30% stronger. You really need to do as much damage as possible in BBI.

I once beat the Golem at the Tomb of the Unknown Traveler (Vestad Hills) at a very low level. It fell over the edge when it died and its *prize*--the loot sack--got stuck halfway down.
