“Setting foot in GreedFall: The Dying World for the first time can feel both exciting and overwhelming. A new land with political tensions, mysterious creatures, and countless choices await you. This guide is here to help you begin your adventure the right way, with some practical tips to shape your journey, avoid early mistakes, and fully embrace everything the game has to offer.”
Select your player. Create your own character through physical customization, and move on to selecting their Attributes that will directly impact combat effectiveness; talents that determine how you interact with the world; and Skill Trees that give you access to specific skills in combat.
There’s always more than one way. Quests rarely have a single solution, so the developers urge you to take time to explore your surroundings, speak to different NPCs, weight moral and political consequences of your decisions.
Manage your companions wisely. Companions are more than combat assistants, they have unique backgrounds, skill trees, loyalties and personalities. They can also provide unique insight during conversations and unlock alternative approaches to certain quests. Their presence can ease or complicate delicate situations. Building trust with your companions can be just as important as sharpening their combat blade.
Use your tracking vision. While exploring, tracking vision highlights hidden clues, interactive elements, and valuable loot.
Combat with your own style and rules. When battle ineluctably happens, you decide how to approach it. You can use the tactical pause to control your entire party, carefully selecting abilities and coordinating actions on the battlefield. Alternatively, play fully in real time, focusing on your own character while letting companion AI handle their roles
Enjoy the game your way with the preset difficulties and customized difficulty setting. You can change such modifiers as Party Damage and Recovery; Enemy Damage; Camera Controls and Keybinds, and more!
