This video shows where to get first quests, where to reqruit characters, where to find stuff such as money, how to combat enemies, finishing few beginner quests, promoting characters at guilds etc. If I were to continue from here I would return to Twinlake to get another promotion for Droba, make use of my new Paladin character, finish off those Goblins at Jewel Inn Cellars, continue to build up skills / equipment and then proceed to some harder quests.

Original Atari ST release ported to Amiga and PC DOS. Very good epic RPG. Kind of hybrid between Ultimas and SSI AD&D games, but with turn-based combat system on grid. Sequel to Dragonflight and prequel to Ambermoon.

At the beginning of a game the main character is rat meat. It's essential to reqruit other characters for combat before main character has enough experience to get few class promotions. I took plenty of time to gather most quests in three major cities and collecting easy to get stuff before going into combat. If you're not interested about watching exploring, character interactions etc. you can skip straight to Twinlake sewers where the grinding begins.
