Hello, what if i start a new Henry and after i robbed the horse to “go to grave” my parents, i let Main Quest to my previous Henry? Am i be able to grow up as fighter, hunter, alchemicher and so on as well? Can i find people who can teach me sword fighting, for exemple? So i will have 2 Henry in 2 separate saves: one with main quest and all mainstream, the second one, more free.
Good question.
Go to Merhojed and train there.
At the main start menu, if you select “new”, you create a new “playline”, essentially a parallel universe. Each playline can only have 1 Henry in it, but you can have him do different things in each “playline”. IOW, in Playline 1, he can follow the main quest as a fighter. In Playline 2, he can blow off the main quest and be a thief. But you can’t have 2 Henries in the same playline.
I have heard, but cannot confirm, that certain important skills are only available through the main quest. These include “Perfect Block” and “Master Strike” for combat and also Pickpocketing. Maybe you can get these outside the main quest, I don’t know, but I kinda doubt it. But because your character options are pretty much limited to fighter and thief, you need at least some of these skills to have much success.
Thus, it’s generally considered a good idea to follow the main quest until you acquire whichever of these skills you need. Fortunately, these skills become available almost immediately so you don’t have to go too far along the main quest.

im not sure what would happen if you abandon main quest so early, but you can do that a bit later, would have same effect to your free roam gameplay i guess?
