Just getting into this game now, still early on, and just getting to tier 2. Something I've been googling and can't seem to work out is, for some skills, like Running, Initiative, what's the difference between Trained and Specialised? I've somehow got to tier 2 without even having a crisis, apart from that one tutorial fight with just the Last Castoff, so I haven't even been able to figure out the mechanics.

Edit: I guess the simple obvious answer is that you can run further and come sooner in the Initiative order, but I just wanted confirmation that it's true, because the tooltips have no hard numbers.

Hah, great, thanks. And similarly, the lore skills, is there a benefit to having 2 ranks? I don't remember ever having to make a check against them, only extra information coming up automatically.

I don't remember it being useful for anything but accessing the labyrinth.

One case off the top of my head:Letting the Ghostly Woman in the Fifth Eye Tavern choke you to death starts a very important quest.

OK thanks everyone.

I'll suffer through the level again and just leave if I can't manage to get all the eggs and see how things go from there.

I just had a chat with the Sticha and got a cool personal underground transport system while convincing them to dig somewhere else. Everybody wins. I think unless you're purposefully doing a violent playthrough, the aggressive option is always the worst.

Which ones? I remember all of them being uninterested in me.



One in the Shrine of Great Chila, one in Chiurgeon Slump.



I'm sure there's more I can't remember right now.

How do you do this? I talked to all the Dendra O'Hur and none of them wanted to eat me. I don't think it'd change during or after the investigation either. Do you mean the Death's Gate or whatever they're called?


When you first meet Matkina in the Cave Of Last Words, go out the south exit, then jump off the cliff.
