I've had Divinity sitting in my library since ancient times. I still haven't gotten around to playing it.

Ida receives a nice, transparent blue robe.

Having a game where you can sleep with a skeleton and/or a lizardman. Not playing this game.

Ida takes her robe and heads in the indicated direction.

What kind of water is it? A bathtub, a basin of water, a waterfall, a pool? Is the water cold or not?

– Hey Sarans! – Khryash shouts from the doorway. – Any plans for a little spine-walking adventure? Important bigwigs need reconnaissance, and all the mages have passed out after dealing with that hedgehog. All hope rests on me. And on you.

- Hold on tight, Shuma! I'm coming for you!

The history of the empire, from its founding to the fall of its capital.

History:

Before the creation of the imperial calendar: six great tribes of ancient humans make three attempts to unite against the Wardan tribes.
Cycle of the empire's foundation: the leader of the Flame Walkers tribe, Mardur, later nicknamed the Gatherer, forcibly subjugates four tribes and declares the establishment of the empire.
1st star cycle since the founding of the empire: the Herb Readers tribe joins the empire. Presumably, as a result of a mutually beneficial deal.
2nd star cycle since the founding of the empire: numerous invasions by the Wardans halt the expansion of the empire. Emperor Mardur sets out on a punitive expedition into the wastelands and dies in an ambush at the hands of a Sortorin witch.
3rd star cycle since the founding of the empire: the heir to Emperor Mardur, Prince Luhann, loses the war. The Wardans capture a third of the empire's lands.
5th star cycle since the founding of the empire: a new great chieftain of the Wardans announces a campaign against the Sortorins. Troops from the tribes leave the bloodied empire.
6th star cycle since the founding of the empire: taking advantage of the enemy's distraction, imperial troops return the empire to its former borders and build new forts near the Gates of the Wastelands.
Period from the 7th to the 8th star cycles since the founding of the empire: a period of restoration for the empire and minor skirmishes with the Wardan tribes.
9th star cycle since the founding of the empire: the great chieftain Zarak-Attir declares the conquest of the Sortorin people. Emperor Markan II throws all the resources of the crown into strengthening the borders. But the war does not begin.
Period from the 10th to the 11th star cycles since the founding of the empire: an era of prosperity for the empire and victorious campaigns in the wastelands.
12th star cycle since the founding of the empire: an unknown celestial body falls on the capital of the empire. Emperor Markan III becomes the last representative of his dynasty.

Sarabas comes and Sarabas goes. In one of the distant crypts, Lerad Frost himself is discovered, along with a painfully familiar skeleton.

"You were found by some clueless youngster. I am disappointed!" said the first sage sternly, reprimanding the animated pile of bones.
"Forgive me, master!"

- Aha, so that’s what it is! A classic! - The clueless youngster points his index finger at the picture that has opened before him. - Not bad, leader!

I started as a skeleton, but something went wrong.

Like a hot spring. Warmish.

Should I play as a random skeleton or as Fane? If you choose Fane, he's actually the best main character because he has unique mechanics and can become incredibly powerful by the end of the game (as long as you don't mess up with an important McGuffin) + there's also the possibility to get a unique ending. Overall, if you know the entire storyline, he stands out as a great main character compared to others.
However, I wouldn't recommend playing as a generic nobody, because there won't be any bonus experience, story, or meaningful individual content for that hero. Content is only available for well-developed characters. This is actually a significant drawback in Larian games. In both DOS 2 and BG3, all the content is tailored for their own characters.

Life is all about gaining experience, and you're like Nebok, who's offline even on Sundays.

I don't remember.

But I have played quite a few similar games. NWN2, Kingmaker, Wrath, BG3, Rogue Trader.

Okay. I would definitely highlight the second installment of the DOS series for its excellent soundtrack and heroes. Also, the synergy between skills is quite interesting. Otherwise, after the second playthrough, Fort Joy and Reaper's Coast don't offer much that surprises you anymore.

Rurek Tsulaku fails to repeat his feat and goes to Haven as he is.

The cultist has to wait. The waiting costs the oiled warrior a whole **1 action point**. But it was worth it.

"You have returned, my son," greeted the cultist Tsulak. "With your hands, this wonderful city has become a little cleaner. Great achievements are made in small steps. This is how we will one day cleanse all of the fighters' settlement. Know this, Tsulak! We are pleased with your success! Here you go! With this training set, you will quickly catch up with other fighters and stop feeling weak."

**Occult Training Set** x1 (changes the character's stats to those of a Fighter, increases rank to Novice, price: 300 experience points, only works on Tsulak and only if his level is lower than that of a Fighter)

– You have returned, my son,” greeted the cultist to Zulak. – With your hands, this wonderful city has become a little cleaner. Great achievements are accomplished through small steps. This is how we will one day cleanse all of the fighters’ settlement. Know this, Zulak! We are pleased with your success! Here! With this training set, you will quickly catch up with other fighters and stop feeling weak.

— Praise be to you, master! — Zulak takes the valuable instruction. — You are right! These vile bums breathe plague, and their breath reeks of foul energy. If not for healing potions, even our courage would not be enough for triumph. And simply to save lives. We need to gather an army of oil men as soon as possible and forever rid the clan halls of this alien poison!

If the cultist no longer has any plans for him, he leaves… does he still have action points left?
