Final Blurb

Your origin doesn’t make or break your build, but it does set the tone for how you might want to start out. If you’re looking to cook, sneak, or punch a druid with fire... there’s a starter choice for that.

These bonuses help, but you can still build however you want later on. No regrets needed.

FAQ

Q: Can you respec or change starting bonuses later?

Not directly, but the game lets you train most skills freely as you level.

Q: What’s the best start for stealth builds?

Either “I prefer to avoid fighting...” or double “Stay silent” gives big sneak and theft boosts.

Q: Do the starting magic spells matter long term?

They help early, but you’ll unlock stronger magic later. They’re not permanent loadouts.

Q: Is there a best starting option overall?

Nope. It’s all preference. None of them are make-or-break. Just go with your gut.
