Divinity Original Sin

Honestly you just need to look at your journal and try and keep track of the quest lines.

I am finding there is alot of freedom to go about quests and figure out the next steps.  Some of the dialogue with important characters gives you hints but some of it I am having to figure out what to do on my own.  Case in point, I needed to investigate a character and I found her house but it was locked.  I tried to pickpocket her but my skill level was to low and I didn't want to just kill her.  In the end I resorted to burning down the door to the house and busting inside.  I am sure there was another way to go about it but the game let me do it my own way which I thought was very cool.

I'm digging this game. Haven't liked a RPG like this since Bg-2. It's good.

Found this site with some guides on it that really seem to help

Another stupid question....

If you complete the tutorial quest at start of the game in the dungeon....once you are done with it, do you keep all the goodies you found and experience gained when you transition to the main game ?   Or does everything get reset?  I am still messing around in the tutorial so wasn't sure what happens after.

You keep everything.  In fact, one of the items is vital to finishing one of the first quests (although another can be found in town).

Excellent...thank you

Maybe I used the word "quest" too strongly, but when you first start out, you have the opportunity to continue in tutorial mode by entering a dungeon...I won't spoil it for you, but happens at the start of the game in the early stages....the game warns you if you try and skip it to make sure you have a chance to do it.

did you find the dungeon - i missed it first time around, if nothing else it teaches you a few nifty UI tricks

I'm pretty sure you can go back to it any time.

I think I interviewed dungeon and walked around killed a few undead and mummies came out the other end don't remember anything spectacular about it

That's kind of my only problem with the game I'm walking around and I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing. I keep asking everybody about who killed this guy and no one knows. then all of a sudden I'm supposed to be asking about some kind of staff but nobody knows about that either so I'm just a little bit confused as to exactly what I'm supposed to be doing

I even got to close to some kind of explosion and was teleported to some Shard in  space where some imp started telling you things about how I'm responsible for saving time or something... then all of a sudden I was able to come back. I'm not sure exactly what the hell going on

Yep, I don't think there is supposed to be anything spectacular about it, just a stepping stone in learning the game mechanics and the ability to pick up some items and such....

Hoping to get much more time with this game over the weekend so I can get much further than that:)
