Seeking advice for an old game...

[Scalefang]

Next, Planescap. For once I have decided to play it without reading any guide in advance or geting any information about the plot. That is, basically play it unknowing about anything to happen. I normally don't do that :)

Anyone have some general tips though (please NO story or plot spoilers). I read some on character generation and it seemed WIS was VERY important and also some for INT. Correct? I never understood if you picked class (like fighter, mage and so on) or got it as you played. Seems you should change mid game, or? In any case, sugestion for good class to pick if that is possible?

Some general advice (that doesn't tell spoilers)? So that I can enjoy it as much as possible.

This will probably get lost but ah well..you asked for advise Jarulf and I'll be abliged to offer it:

First, if you have the four cd set nab the official 1.1 patch if you don't the single CD comes pre-patched.

Then, nab the Fix Pack at http://www.accesswave.ca/~cthorpe/

It fixes even more errors that were missed in the official, including a bug where you couldn't properly "upgrade" one of your allies and a whole bunch more.

Actual Game Advice:

High WIS and INT will enable you to usually get the most diologue options and most exp. Obviously this does lend itself to a mage, but if given the chance you should spend some time training other classes when given a chance to.

The only weapons profencincy that a mage can use are your "knife" type weapons.

You do not pick a class to start with, by default you start with a warrior and later get the ability to become a mage and a theif. You also get the ability to switch between them.

The mortuary (where you start) will probably give you a headache, you might want to make an archive save after you leave the mortuary so you don't have to do it again. But your millage may vary.

Oh...and don't piss off the Lady.
