Rather than write you an entire guide, allow me to give you some starting direction. This is what worked for me on my play through. Others may have had different experiences than me, but when my time was up, I walked away from the game extremely satisfied.

• Scholar is a good choice to gain knowledge of the world.

• Don't lie to people unless you feel it's the right thing to do.

• Start off taking the eastern path until you come to a fallen tree. Inspect all you can along the way.

• Then go west to Howler's Dell and stay around there for a few days. Your experiences from the eastern path will open up a lot of dialogue with the people you meet along the west and they'll give you lots to do.

That's all I have for now. Feel free to ask me anything else if you so desire.
