I am continuing to run around Howling Mountains and Varania. As luck would have it, I blundered into my house, which was a good thing because it allowed me to start setting up the house. Fortunately, I was able to get out of the house thanks to clues from the Forum. Unfortunately, I am unable to figure out how to get back IN my house -- HELP #!
Even more unfortunate was that I came out into the World with no weapons or armor. I have no idea where or when I lost them -- HELP #2 . Did I somehow change into street clothes while at home? It sucked to find tons of Goblins right outside my house exit. Did I fumble the trade when I was trying to buy more better armor?
Finally, does anyone show me a good diagram explaining the various fields on the "Character" page? -- HELP #3
