Im a real noob at this game because im not used to games that when you die you have to restart ( unlike fable 2 ive played ) any strategies to stay alive Please dont hate on me

. Get better weapons
. Get ALOT of health items
. Increase your ALL skills

to continue where dvader left off: set your health items to the d-pad slots for easy access. as well, get to know what kind of fighter you are and if you are a magician then stock up on more blue potions. as well, try and buy the best armor you can FIRST, then buy the best weapon you can. outfit yourself fully in armor. also, I recommend a lighter weapon so you can attack faster. weapons like the great hammer, great ax etc may deal massive damage, but you are useless if you didnt level up your strength enough and the slowness of the weapon is a drawback too, unless you get a chance for a decent ambush/follow up

btw, poolah, nice avatar. crystal shards was awesome.
