When I approched the camp entrance, a soldier asked me to join in the raid, I never got a chance to join the bandits. When I entered the "temple of doom" part, I can't get anywhere without being poisoned to death. Is there an item that negates poisons, or am I missing something? This Raze guy on this forum is like Yoda or something for this game so I hope he can help me. I just got this game (obviously I'm not a huge gamer, as this game has been out for a long time) and i'm enjoying it, but it bugs alot.....
Also, is it me, or is skill progression really slow in this game? I'm at level 13 and my skill set is really limited. So far I've only been able to pump up lockpicking and 2 weapon fighting.
You do not get to join the bandits after telling the leutenant its location and password.
To avoid poison, follow the trail of blood smears and corpses. Though there seems to be a place where you need to jump over the pool in the middle where there is a gap in the trail.
The normal skill points are slow, but there are a number of skill books through out the game that help. And reading some people's minds can give skill/stat points (the only one I can think of early in the game that gives skill points is ZixZax the Almost Wise).
