Welcome! Save often! In the first game at least, archery is your friend.

Step 1: Click Options (in the menu to the left) -> Gameplay -> Feedback. Under "Visual Feedback", select everything. Especially select "No Cosmetic Attacks". Put Marker Feedback at "Higher" and Locator Feedback at Maximum.

Cosmetic Attacks makes characters visually appear to be attacking when they aren't. The people who made BGEE thought it would look cool, but all it does is confuse people.

Step 2: Click "Record" (in the menu to the left) -> "Customize" -> "Script". Use "Advanced AI", but in the list to the right deselect everything except Find Traps and Sing Bard Song for Thieves and Bards respectively. Do this with every new character you get!

The AI is horrible. You don't want your characters to start casting your precious spells, or go running off, without you telling them to. Turn all of that off. However, having your thief automatically detect traps and your bard singing his songs is convenient.

Hope you have fun! :)

I love the candle keep intro area. It's my favorite intro to a game.

Just downloaded a few mods, Artisan Kitpack and Bardic Wonders to name a few, so have to do ANOTHER trilogy run. Shucks.

You really should do a better job with your cable management (sorry).

Have fun with your new run!
