As you fulfill objectives in the game's linear missions, you'll acquire skill points that you can use to advance in a series of ability trees. You can choose to specialize in melee combat, archery, or various types of magic.
There are also auxiliary abilities that you can select, including passive ones that increase your health and mana reserves, or active ones that, for example, allow you to pick locks. Regardless of which way you choose to go in the end, you'll have points left over to dabble in other areas. It does bear mentioning, however, that Dark Messiah is at its best during nitty-gritty melee combat and had the game embraced truly embraced this core competency, it would have been a whole lot better for it.
The designers made great use of the Source engine; most sequences designed around melee are veritable playgrounds of carnage. You can kick enemies into various types of hazards or off ledges entirely, drop heavy objects on their heads, telekinetically hurl them into pits of fire and much more. All the typical FPS conventions apply: headshots with your bow are instant kills and stealth melee attacks while using daggers are an instagib. Straightforward melee combat becomes much more effective as you start to invest in it.
Late in the game you can wade into a room full of enemies and utterly brutalize them with relative ease. The game's adrenaline system essentially a "super" meter that grants a single instant kill when filled is a bit of a letdown, since you can't control it -- once it's full, you automatically blow it.
The enemy AI also leaves a lot to be desired. All too often, enemies will stand around with glazed expressions as you dispatch their comrades with ranged attacks. Obstruction and cover may account for some of this, but in many situations it couldn't be more obvious where the arrows are coming from. The biggest letdown by far is the level design.

A long time ago an extreme powerful mage called the Seventh Dragon banished all demons from the world and paid with his death for this. But the prophecies tell that after a years, a Dark Messiah - half human, half demon - will return to the earth to destroy the barrier that stands between the worlds.
Also he doesn't know it yet, his goal is to obtain the Skull of the Seventh Dragon called Skull of Shadows from Skull Island, where it is guarded by the orcs and destroy the barrier between the worlds with it.
The name of the Dark Messiah is Sareth and he's an mage apprentice. One day his master sends him to Stonehelm to help another mage retrieve the Skull. And so the Prophecy seems to become real.
