I tried a couple of times but I can't seem to progress anywhere past Joppa. I think I've seen red rock once. Anyway, I Either die or I get lost or somehow lose interest in it. Would be really cool if someone could tell me how to actually play the game, what to do when and how and what the overall goal/story is
I've always had a soft spot for Caves of Qud, I love exploring in games and it never disappoints :)
Just don't go to Red Rock straight away, it's way too tough to do that one. Talk to the inventor guy (Argive I think?) and do some quests for him.
Also, there's no shame in playing the easier Roleplay or Wanderer modes. It's all about having fun in the end!
Talk to the zealot in Joppa, get the quest to go to the Stilt, then kill the zealot (you won't get in trouble for it), take his book, then raid the three chests in the enclosed rooms (shut the door behind you first!)
That'll give you some stuff to trade.
Then go up to the Stilt - it's a long trek but you get like four levels worth of experiencre from that quest just for showing up!
