Have anyone played Realms Of Arkania - Shadows over the riva?
It's technically better than first and second ,but it's easier...

I played it with an imported high level party from Star Trail.
The battles weren't easier (at least at normal level) but the storyline was.

1. Before my favourite cRPGs was Ishar and Eye of the Beholder trilogy. I tryed play Realms of Arkania and start from Blade of Destiny but i dont understand this game. Now i decided learn how run and play Star Trail and i must say its probably best cRPG trilogy. Many details is olways welcome, Baldurs Gate is simple hack&slash compare to it.

2. My team is three warriors (because olways or mostly you will be put into close combat, enemy quickly surround) two silvian elves (second line in battle- hit from arrows and speed spells, anyway they got best stats, i got one person with mostly 12 and 13 stats!) and one battle mage.

3. Probably best skill to learn is thread wounds, i found it most usefull in every team member (also haggle but that skill may have one person)

4. Question: it is possible to take some money or equipment from defeated opponents? I finish some battles with nice equipped orcs and i wonder if i could take his swords and armours.

5. My first travell on worldmap was off-road trough wilderness. I go little west then south and cross river, go on south and i encounter elvish village called "salamanderstones" or something. There was woman which tells me that they have salamander stones here !! but allow to enter only elves (human and dwarves make some troubles before) So maybe it is possible to get that item very quick using elves team! Anyway using elves team should be possible to enter some teritories guard by elf patrols. And team made only from silvian elves should have best stats. Someday i must try it.

@Lich:

2. Better replace one warrior with a dwarf. Warriors get -2 magic resistance penalty while dwarves get 10 extra hitpoints. Since dwarfs can wear the same armor as warriors they are better tanks. There a also dwarf specific situations you will miss without a dwarf in your party. Dwarves can also get good at lockpicking faster.

You only need one wilderness leader. I'd also replace one silven elf with an ice elf. They get 5 extra HP and +1 magic resistance.

My party had 13 in all positive stats. Take your time to roll the characters manually, you can raise nearly all negative stats without facing negative consequences to reach 13 in the important positive stats.
Dexterity and charisma is useless for combat, strength is more important than all other stats together.

4. After combat the items you can loot are diplayed (if there are any), among the money you got. You don't always get something.

5. You can always part your party and have just the elves proceed. Spellcasters can use a spell (there are at least 3 different ones) to sneak by unnoticed.
It's not too difficult to get 13 in all stats for any class if you roll manually.

When you started a game an auto-saved game has been loaded. Just click on the disk icon and select one of the icons there to start a new game, then you can create the party members at the temple, add them and begin the game.

Whoops. Forgot to remove the auto-save from the copy I uploaded in place of the malfunctioning one.

Did you read my post, only two posts above? Also you can delete the already existing characters if the first temple where you're starting a new game. Simply click on one of the icons in the menu for deleting characters, and you can choose whom. Of course it's best to delete all of them as they should have been in the first place. Somebody seems to have forgotten to remove not only the savegames but also own characters...

unfortunately clicking on the disk icon reveals no such button to start a new game. the "new" button there
refers to saving a new game...
and btw if u get rid of ur party and create new members they appear at a place called kvirasim at the temple of peraine but i have no idea where that is!

can anyone help?
has anyone got a save game in the starting city of kvirasim? can u post it on the forum? help!
