A few for starters:
1. Explore the first area you start thoroughly before using elevator. You'll stumble upon some mutated chick that "guards" +1 pick locks amulet.
2. Past elevator a temporary sidekick, Duras, will join you. Just follow him and do the ruins exploration he suggests, don't take strolls.
3. Duras will lead you to beserkers' settlement and leave. Find him in there, he'll give you a quest to talk to some people. Talk to at least one then return to Duras and he'll become your first actual sidekick (you'll find more sidekicks later).
4. Improve lockpicking in the settlement, pickpocket is not a bad choice too, steal everything and sell crap, you need $. I've posted stealth seems bugged in early impressions, but you can always rest till midnight before "cleaning" houses, chests and pockets. Some chests require a specific key that's why pickpocket is nifty.
5. Don't use small Elex pots! Two small pots can be combined into medium which gives you +2 attributes permanently when used, while two medium ones combined give large elex potion that adds +1 stat permanently on use. To mix pots you need recipes and train chemistry.
6. There is no pickaxe like in gothic/risen but a mining "machine" called jackhammer. You'll find it in the Pit. Yes, you need it, desperately.
Not sure if this qualifies here, still have to add, for bugreports you should use the official forum:
http://community.elexgame.com/
And easter egg. The person who sells medium Elex pot recipe and natural elex, plus trains lockpicking/pickpocket in the first settlement is the most important, of course. His name is:
Yea, he doesn't play this game as it's not MMO which is a huge shame.
