Divinity Original Sin

[TheCommandTent]

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

You've got to read the dialogue very closely as they give yous subtle hints but there is alot of exploring and figuring it out on your own that you have to do.  If you get stuck read through your active quest in your journal and see what direction they push you in.  They won't tell you exactly what to do but give you a push in the right direction.

Without doing the tutorial dungeon I didn't know about being able to split the party, move crates, burn poison clouds it was quite handy

Now restarted with Bob as a cleric... I figured the lore was talking about the adventurers cleansing the undead and unholy so Bob smites forth with a double handed axe and morganna has his back with fireballs

Yeah, read the guide and I have to start over. I'm all jacked up. There are people I was supposed to talk to that I never did. I don't like games on rails but I could use a little more help

To be savoured not rushed  :P

Save yourself some time by not querying more than one of the 'generic' NPCs.  If they don't show an individual name when you mouse over them, then they will just keep telling you similar useless stuff regarding your quests that the others of the same generic name do.

There's a tutorial quest?

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

There is some kind of repeated pop-up text that tells you to go to the tutorial dungeon door, after killing the skeletons there and also if you stand around for awhile in that same location. 

Did you ignore that text?   :P

I'm slowly progressing along.  So far of the NPCs I've picked up only the mage is really worth while IMO.  The female knight is ok, but I already had a fighter so I'd prefer a thief or healer type.

weirdly enough i walked right up to the entrance but never clicked on it to open the door despite the warning - i was more concerned with throwing the big shell back in the sea

It still worth seeing what they have to trade, but you can do that without going through any of the dialogue options.

Either way I am starting over with my kick ass Warrior build and my shadow assassin I've been like to pick up that magician and the other warrior

The Water&Air Mage in the library is a badass companion to pick up.

Somehow on this playthrough I managed to get both companions, which makes the early going a lot easier.  Last game I couldn't manage to get either.

I got both my companions from one of visits to the imp in that "beyond time" place.  I now have a ranger and battlemage as my main characters and a wizard and knight as my companions.  I just need to level up my companions before facing some of the harder enemies.

[mikeck]

I like the Mage because she can electrify water. My favorite spell is my shadow assassin who can teleport a person. Basically picked them up and slams the down

[undercovergeek]

as it seems the 2 companions are mage and something else i restarted with ranger and enchanter - that teleportation one is great, pick a guy up and drop him in burning oil moooohahahahahaa
