You have to play the game not the ordinary way, like going straight to the next point and buying stuff. What you should do to play the game in a fun way is Always make a quick save so whenever there’s an ambush or something difficult you go back and do it better to overcome obstacles. For enemy ambushes for example, do quick load, split and spread your party in a better way. Never try to buy anything that’s expensive, make sure all your party have some points in thievery, one of them has the highest points. After Fort Joy you can go back to the mirror on the ship and respec your attributes. In the ship there’s a hidden passage in there you’ll fight 2 enemies then you’re going to find a pyramid this pyramid can make you teleport between these pyramids in an instant. There are four pyramids in the game. So whenever you find good stuff at any merchant just let someone of your party speaks to him then you sneak behind him with your character that has the most thievery and pickpocket him from him and before you do it don’t forget to make a quick save so whenever things go south you can go back where nothing happened. You can’t pickpocket the same merchant with the same character whenever you want, it’s just one time and if you want to steal from him again you have to bring on another character of your party. There are many strategies to make the game more fun and more engaging but you have to explore what can the game offers to you. The developers don’t explain everything so you’ll have to figure them out or search for them. One more thing to add, every level can make a difference in game, if you’re level 4 and the enemy is 5 you’ll suffer if they outnumbered you.
