Hello, I'm new to this game, I purchased it yesterday, and it's still downloading. I've been doing some reading around the internet, and I get the gist of what I'll be doing as a Sorceress. It seems like the High Elves are the best sorceresses, which is a shame because they don't seem like very nice people. I heard one tip that kind of confused me that while we level we should wear at least one piece of armor from each type. Wouldn't that put your character at a bit of a disadvantage?
Also, are there any other really good fan sites out there? One wiki I found for another game was so comprehensive in their wiki that every one of the thousands of items in the game had their own separate page explaining what they did. Every quest had a guide on this wiki, and there were pages of strategy about how to best kill a powerful foe.
I'm not expecting a wiki that good, but if anyone knows any good fan sites let me know. Thirdly I'd like you to tell me personally what you think is the proper way to level up? What things did you wish you knew when you had just created your first character?
