: Unlike other RPGs, heavy armor can be a disadvantage because it significantly increases your "Recovery" time (the cooldown between actions). Many players prefer light or even no armor for faster spellcasting and attacks.

: Before starting the main game, you play through a "Conquest" phase where you make high-level political decisions that permanently change the game world, such as which cities were destroyed or which factions hate you.

The Gold Edition bundles the base game with all released expansions and DLC:

: An expansion that adds random encounters, new items, and "event" choices that occur while traveling between locations.

: Instead of picking a fixed class (like Mage or Warrior), your skills improve through use. For example, using a sword increases your One-Handed skill, while successfully lying in dialogue increases your Subterfuge.

: Includes the digital original soundtrack, a digital high-definition world map, and high-quality wallpapers.
