Ahh ok, what are Leveling points? Like I see the ones needed to gain new combat talents.
For me the whole levelling system resembles an ancient sumerian clay tablet, it looks nice, but how the hell does it work? Very Happy

Didn't see any significance in gaining a level, since you get points all the time to spend on certain talents and attributes and I haven't found out yet how to gain new skills, (the three skills melee, ranged and defensive I think).

But apart from the complex skill system (or maybe because of it), I still like this game very much Smile

The skill system is rather complex, got to admit but as a guy who played the The Dark Eye pen & paper game I was kinda disappointed by the character generation because it lacks alot of the freedom you get in the pen & paper game but then again that would have led to giant balancing problems... I bought it and I don't buy many games, so that says something Very Happy
+ the story's cool as are all Dark Eye stories Very Happy

mister_s, the games seems to be using both cores here.

chars that you get early on:
 Spoiler:
 

i'd say give someone the treat wounds talent instead of waiting.

the_stranger, you learn(buy) new skills from various trainers.

Saw that yeah, so if I got it correctly, the only point that matter are experience point, adventure point (or whatever they are named) you do not use? And does anything happen when I level up? So far the only thing I have seen happen when levelling up, is the removal of the caps on skills..

And just so I did not miss anything, do you get that dwarf in the first village, or later in the town of Ferros?

The level is important, if you don't have a high enough level your skills will be limited. It's just like any other RPG, but now you can level whenever you like. I really like the system. You can think and observe the skills you use, and then spend points on it.

There's a woman in the first village asking for a password. Anyone know what it is?

Thanks for the replies Smile.

I'll post what I posted previously, taken from a discussion about the German version.

Quote:

Mask of the Master - IM3Z91
To get the "Mask of the Master" ('Maske des Meisters', +2 CH) speak to 'Erna Rübenfein' in Avestreu (before you go into Ferdock, next to the soliders at the bridge) and enter one of the following codes:
3EXD6L
44SC2K
4X1W68
6LAM24
74ZUA1
84JDE9
9PQ1WC
9YF3LC
EFG65K
F4B7AY
F5ZHV7
G97LG1
H6V8WS
IM3Z91
J7FB8T
JK28AX
LK8J4X
MP97FR
N4DEL5
NB3DY6
P38FVQ
PY66M4
RBV38S
S35DF9
S3RBD1
T6FM9Q
TW5BCW
U8IS57
YAPL39
Z75MRG

Any of the codes should work, but it is confirmed that some of them are locked to a certain version of the game (such as pre-order, collector's edition, Amazon's pre-order edition). To save you time trying to find a correct code for your edition just open the file Drakensang\export\db\static.db4 with an editor and search for "keyword=".


The "- IM3Z91" line was added by me as it's what the code is for my game.

Have some questions if anyone can answer please:

1. Is it important for your main character to have social skills? Or does the game use social skills from your companions when talking to someone, if their skills are higher?

2. Can all characters train in skills like armor type I/II/III or dodge, etc? Or is this restricted to only some characters?

3. I have random pauses/freezes of the game like every 30 seconds - 1 min. The freezes occur for about 2-3 seconds. The game runs very smooth otherwise, but the freezes pauses really really getting annoying. Even when I am not moving (or just standing and fighting) I get these freezes. Anyone get this or know why?

As far as I seen so far;
1. Highest member
2. All members
3. Driver issue? Try latest Nvidia / Ati ones.

Yea I love it as well, it's not easy to learn but when you do you notice that its quite good. I also like that first levels of each skill are quite cheap so you can 'try' a skill first to see if you like it and then decide if its worth having.

I tried everything with the freezes/pauses. I have latest catalyst drivers, tried all settings, etc.

What about the type of armor that characters can wear? Are there restrictions? Can a battlemage wear chainmail for example?

Thanks

You can put chainmail on him, he will get encumbrance penalties that can be lowered by armour use skills. But you'll need mage with strength of above 12 to learn it.

Imo; better than NWN 1-2, but no where near as good as Morrowind/Oblivion, Gothic1-2 (didn't expect that either). Everything in the game feels familiar, in a very good way. I really like the characters/animations, the game world itself isn't anything special, but isn't bad either. The story is ok, skill system is deep and fun enough.

The worst part (like in many RPG's) is the combat itself, i find myself alt+tab out to Windows (to write this post, for example) sometimes while in combat Wink Reminds me of WoW in it's worst moments (when it's not tactical).

try this, shouldn't be far from the necromancer quest. my talents are kinda spread out, but you could use the razor trainer to edit them.
