This is exactly how I approached this fight when I did this quest. It was super easy too.

Ok, I think that clears it up for me. That makes a lot more sense with the added notations. The party order also determines the order in which a party marches. Thanks for helping me understand how this all works together!

That would make sense, but since my sorcerer has the highest dexterity he gains initiative when combat begins; then my tinkermage and finally my blade master. In this case my party order only determines who goes second. The difficulty is that I want to keep my sorcerer behind my tinkermage and blade master who serve as a defensive wall. It's harder to make that judgement when my sorcerer goes first. In reality I want my tinkermage to have initiative so he can place turrets before melee begins. At this point I guess I need to 1) wait until I can put more points in dexterity, 2) retrain the characters, or 3) deal with it and work around it. But I still don't see how the party order benefits me other than being a tie breaker for dexterity. Am I missing something? Help me out.

I see. I checked my party and, in order listed above, I have dexterity of 5 - 5 - 7. That makes sense. Also, the dexterity attribute says "Helps you to act sooner in combat." So is there any benefit to setting your party order other than the tie breaker?

Thanks guys.

Does party order not affect initiative? My current party order from top to bottom is: Tinkermage>Blade Master>Sorcerer. However, my sorcerer always has initiative in a battle. I want him to fight last. I have tried to reorder the party but that did not change the initiative at all. Is something else affecting the initiative? How can I change it? Thanks, I read through the manual twice but all I found was how to change party order and that does not seem to work.

I just picked up the game today. This is what I have been looking for. Thanks to GoG for supporting publishers like this. So how big is the world? I have read that it is enormous, but how big is enormous? Each map area seems to be about the same size, so approximatley how many unique map areas are in the game? Should I expect 50, 200, or 2000 unique map areas in the game? I also read a quick play through will be about 30 hours. How many hours would I invest if I accomplished every side quest. I know the game just launched so if you don't know maybe you can share similar details about the first Avadon. Thanks guys.
