What do I do?

There is a main storyline of sorts. Find the 8 maps, and then find the 8 seals
to unlock the final boss. And then beating the final boss unlocks the postgame.
But you can ignore all that if you want, this is based on TES after all.








Where are the maps then?

Not telling. Go out and explore!








How does levelling work?

Levelling up your skills gives you EXP towards your next level. When you level
up, you gain stat points based on what skills you used the most, capped at 3
stat points per level. So improving your SWORD skill gives you STR when you
level up, and improving your SPEECH skill gives you CHA when you level up. To
put it simply, each skill improves the stat which it's on the same horizontal
line as.

Also, skills are capped at the level of the stat they are affected by. The 
SWORD skill is capped at your current STR, for example.






How do I improve my skills then?

By using them. Hit monsters while having a dagger equipped to improve DAGGER,
walk around to improve ATHLETE, etc.

What do skills do, themselves?

There are 3 kinds of skills: Combat skills, quest skills, and other skills.
Combat skills are used in combat. Quest skills are used to find key items, if
your level in the required skill is high enough. Other skills are used to
reduce wait times.

Anything else I should know?

You can unequip shields (but not any other of the armor pieces) by clicking on
them a second time. You get a damage boost if you don't use a shield, but you
give up the ability to block.

This game is based on the systems from TES3 Morrowind. So when in doubt, you
can probably assume that it works the same as Morrowind.








Why not Oblivion or Skyrim?

Because I haven't played them yet. Nothing personal, I'm sure they're both
awesome, but I just don't know anything about how they work at the moment.








Why not Arena or Daggerfall?

Arena's too simplistic, and I haven't played Daggerfall either. I've skipped
over it for now because I heard it was really really glitchy and that Morrowind
was the best WRPG ever made.
