This guide aims to take a character from the start of the game to the point of having all skills & powers and most of the important items in the game. It's basically a power-leveling guide, and as such is oriented to both the new player and the "hardcore" character creator. It also includes a "road map" of sorts aimed at quickly getting all Skills and Powers that can be obtained without embarking on a long chain of adventures, thereby leaving you free to explore. Footnotes are abundantly used to hide some details and explanations from the main text so it's easier to read.
