Just to spoil ppl.

Righty, I've posted elsewhere maybe I should have started as a pickpocketeer.
No. Not really. There is no need as once you pickpocket someone, next time you'll get caught most probably. And on low levels… Your sneak and pickpocket will be very low.

So what to do, what, what?!

There are 2 possible party members in the very first town, which could make some fights easier … (Haven't tried it out yet).

Plus, remember what you have learned in the "Tutorial Dungeon" !

And think : What kind of damage could hurt that enemy most ? For example, the tale of fire and water …

Scratch that tip of mine above.
Seems you don't need pickpocket anywhere at all.
I have so much money on my party after looting and selling stuff it's not normal. And there is no legendary item on vendors to spend money on. Or +1 skillbooks (I did buy one though, but that was the only one I've seen so far in the game anywhere). Dunno what to do with this crapload of cash honestly…

Never used the grail from DLC.

In short. If you're starting with a thief character, forget pickpocket skill.
Oh, and barter. Who needs it?!

I did that one yesterday. It's a very minor side quest.

You guys might get a kick out of this. I'm not playing the game right now as I'm awaiting a few patches and because of this screenshot:

I was beta-testing the game. I've played through Cyseal so many times I could do it in my sleep.

Tip : Do it like with the Gothic games : Explore only those areas where the enemies don't have an higher level than your party has … There are enough bits here and there to get through this, although you've got to walk a lot through town & surroundings (you even get experience points for exploring areas !).

Uh, some tips are even spoilerish to me, because I'm still stuck in Cyseal …
