The game is challenging all the way. Everywhere you turn around, your party gets a new task or side-quest to complete. Tasks and quests are well structured, giving your group a fair chance at gaining experience before the boss villains arrive. Logically, completing quests also earns you valuable items, gold, weapons, and such. Adding to your skills and feats is a very delicate business, so consider you actions carefully. For example, if you just gained enough points to level a dwarven fighter, it would be wise to concentrate on enhancing feats that can improve his melee combat. Choosing Weapon Focus is a good idea since it allows a fighter to increase his/her proficiency in, say, wielding a Battleaxe or a Dwarven Warhammer. Enhancing such feats can also award the character with bonus attack points.
