I am struggling. Only have Shadowheart and my PC at level 3.

spoiler

I killed the priestess inside the silence spell but she managed to walk out and call for help on her last turn.

I then unlocked the underdark but don’t want to explore that yet.

Now I have found the drow and the hobgoblin but they are surrounded by all the minons and I can’t take a fight. SHould I keep exploring? I found the cave below the spiders but haven’t gone in yet, had to restart that save because it was in battle and I yeeted myself off the cliff to avoid more dudes.

I love this game. As a BG1/2 fanboy and an overall hater of turn based games I felt betrayed when Larian got the IP and turned it into a Divinity clone, but I am having so much fun. It is like I am playing 5e by myself. Also talking to all the animals is so great.

    Thanks that is probably my problem. I thought the game funneled me here but I probably just need to explore more.

      Larian games tend to highly reward thorough exploration with much needed XP and quality gear.

      Not exploring an area 100% counts as a punishment because you missed out on XP, gear and NPCs that could definitely help.

      They make it seem like it’s imperative that you get to Halsten right away. I was afraid to even take a long rest when I started playing. If you go any direction other than the one they try to funnel you into, then you miss all of the companions. I did the same thing and was getting absolutely bodied at the Goblin Camp. Go back and find some companions and the fights will be 200% easier.
