Playing a D&D for the first time can be a foreign experience. Here are some easy to follow, spoiler free quality-of-life improving tips for a good and smooth start into your first adventure!
Make Your Adventure-Life Easier!
- If you’re new to d&d start on Balanced difficulty. Fights are crisp, but very manageable. Hard may be well.. to hard.
- You can highlight objects in the game yes, but dont count on that. Most items/interesting stuff will NOT be highlighted, like backpacks, corpses, barrels, stashes and point of interest. So always check your surroundings or you’ll miss out big time!
- You can take a LOT of stuff with you (chests, bags, corpses etc). Need a new chest for your camp? Rightclick on it, bag it, place it at the camp (works with all the items btw).
- Don’t underestimate athelics and perception. Just dont!
- Having a bad roll is ok, lot of wonderous things can happen even if it seems “wrong” in the beginning.
- There are many places you can jump to. Literally jump. Just because the map seems to end on your minimap doesnt mean it will.
- Talk to everyone(!), including animals and other “beings”, I can’t stress this enough!
- If you see something to read and its red, right click on it and you can read it without stealing it. If you just run by these items you’ll miss a lot of stuff.
- If you play with controller you will directly control you character (like The Witcher etc), which is awesome (still prefer classic PC, the interface is still better imo).
