Triumph, thank you for you replay and detailed info. 1. Yeah now I see, I didnt know that traits beneath the player picture are racial traits. Thank you for clarification. 2. I thought that it has some relation with reputation, but I guess this feature doesent exist in the game. 4. Ok, thanks for explainin this. I must admit that it was strange for me when I could equip shield with bows and spears. Just a habit from other rpg i guess. I prefere wariors with shield and sword style and spelcasters with light weapons (bow, slig or wathever). Legacy form BG series I'm thinking of creating a party of two humans (warrior and sorcerer), one reptil (shaman looks good, as it is combination of a warrior and priest) and one cat (probably fast fighter/rouge with good lockpicking and use of long range weapo). Maybe I totaly missed the poant here, but this is something that looks balanced form logical point of view. But again I don't know much about how the game works. Well I guess I'll have to learn something by myselfe Again thank you for your reply, and help. Cheers !

First, hello to all on this forum. I just reacently and accidentaly discovered Avernum series and I must admit that I was totaly stunned. I am a big fan of epic party based RPG-s in the fashion of great Baldurs Gate, with great story, big world, lots of quests and conversations. Ok to get to the point. I would like to ask few questions to know some things that I will probably discover later through the game, and then if I did something wrong I would need to start game again. And I realy hate that. Here are the questions: 1. First of all I noticed that when you pick traits during character editing you cant see them below character picture. Is this a bug, or this feature is not implemented? I changed traits for the lizard and again his old ones where below picture. 2. I also noticed that number of selling price of the item is not the same as the number of item value. I had item with value of 50 and sold it for 10. Whay is this? 3. What difficulty level should I pick. I am asking this because in lots of games normal is not quite challenging. And again I dont want impossible game with loading every 2 minutes. 4. What is the best weapon combination: dual wielding, one handed, pole, sword, sword and shield. I noticed that you can carry shield regardless of the weapon type, wich is not common in RPG-s, like bow + shield. How does this affect things? 5. How realy big is this game? Is the world realy that huge? How many quests are there? And do monsters respawn? Ok I think this is enough for the begining . I am sorry if someone already asked this questions and I am asking them again. Also if someone can point me to some post where game mechanics are more detaily explained I would be very thankful.
