In Arx Fatalis, it is not possible to have someone else identify objects, thus it is important to raise Object Knowledge as well if you want to know the nature of things – which you want to because you can’t use the items otherwise. Magic becomes more and more important later on, since it eases combat a lot, so be sure to keep an eye on magic, unless you want to play totally without it. Still, it is recommended to put some points into strength and dexterity, because in the beginning there are some inevidable fights, where no (useful) magic is available yet. So you can fix mistakes, you made during character generation later on, but they shouldn’t be too many.Īrx Fatalis is designed in a way, so you can play whatever character you want: A brute warrior, a stealthy thief, a magic user or a mixture of the above.

When you level up, you get 1 point for raising attributes and 15 points for raising skills. If you choose to create the character manually, you can distribute 16 points among the 4 attributes and 18 points among the 9 skills. It is easy, if you click the auto generate button then you will have a well balanced character to start with. Character Creation in Arx Fatalis can be very complicated and easy at the same time.
