Hey !

I'm asking here because any question on the steam forums are received with people telling you you're not good enough to play the game and that you should quit.

I'm still on my first quest, where I need to find the killer. I've explored all the city, found the dog, found the sheep in the coffin, found the panties (but no other "smellable" items) and now I need to find who stole the body. I've been stuck here so I decided to explore the outskirts of the city.

I killed nearly everything in the raining area until I got the lighthouse. I killed the ghoul after six try or more. It seems that I'm underleveled and that I shouldn't be exploring outside the city which is fine, but I can't find anything else in the city.

That said, I haven't been sneaking / stealing anything. I would hope you could finish the killer quest without doing that, but I'm starting to feel that I really need to. Am I missing something big in the city or is should I still be exploring outside?

I'm level 4 by the way. All the enemies left outside seem to be level 5 or more.

Thanks !

Having never played this game take what I say with a grain of salt. But...

1. Have you checked your quest log?

2. Have you talked with everyone in the city?

3. Are there any notes/books or whatever that may help you?

@shivermetimbers: Hehe yeah I feel like I did.

Surprisingly, I had no problems with Planescape and Baldur's Gate when I was younger. Maybe I'm getting too old.

@fear_the_booboo: Dunno if you figured it out yet, but you're gonna wanna talk to the gravekeeper and investigate the people he mentions.

@theht: Thanks for the help but yeah, I figured it out but had to resort to stealing to find something. I normally do my first playthrough loyal-good style but the multiple characters help there, as I can roleplay them differently (I'm serious about my videogame roleplaying :/)

I'm curious if there's any way to do that quest without stealing anything. Still, thanks !

I think I've run into the same problem you have. I've gone everywhere and talked to everyone that other forums say you have to but it seems like its still entirely possible to end up in a spot where the only solution is to already know how to solve the problem. That said, I'm finding more and more that sneaking and stealing are pretty much required for most things, so do that more.

There's also 1 more thing to add to that spoiler...

Don't think of it stealing, just consider it like confiscating the evidence because no criminal would give that up freely. Also, bashing doors is something that even the real-world police does, so you don't necessarily need to have a character that is good at thieving skills.

I was stuck on that quest for a while as well until I got lucky peeking through a window:
