Hello everyone, i'm pretty new to Avernum & all i can say is that i'm loving it. It really brought me back to my younghood memories, mostly thanks to the absence of music in exchange for grim cavern sounds & howls. Lovely.
I got a few doubts about mechanics & game in general, i read the Help section in the game & a few guides here and there but probably i did not digged some concepts (english is not my native language).
Premise: i created a party with this custom classes: Fighter(Tanky) Fighter (Damage) Priest (Heal&Buff) Mage (Damage&Magestuff), the classic of the classic.
1) I read that to learn or improve spells i must go to trainers or find spellbooks. Inside the bandit fort (beginning of the game) i found a Call Beast book, i read it & now my relative spell is "level 2".
a - What are the differences between those levels? Are those written in some places in game?
b - Do i need to learn level 1 from trainer, 2 from trainer and get level 3 from books or can be done in any order? Or is just a matter of price (level 1-2 cheaper, level 3 from book is more convenient?)
2) More general skills (like Battle Skills)
Same topic from 1), do i need to train them & then find books to improve the grade? Or those can be self-learnt?
3) Save games
Do "Steam" synchronize between same account on difference PC the savegames?
4) Suggestions
Do you have some general suggestions on anything?
5) Lore & Setting
Is there a place where lore & setting is written?
Thanks everyone
Andrea
