For adding new core features, C++ and lua knowledge is required. C++ for creating an own custom dll and lua for low level programming such as Multiplayer, Entities etc.
FlowGraph is used for the whole game logic (triggers, effects, AI behaviour etc.) and can be used without any coding skills, because it's entirely graphical.

As Hamers said. What you can do with no programming: Create beautiful levels Create wonderful 2d/3d assets and import them in game Create player model and set up levels etc... What you can do with programming: Add jetpacks  Add new gameplay mechanics (possible via flowgraphs, but very tedious) etc... RE

Inside the editor you only need FlowGraph yes. But if you need a feature for example that is not available in FlowGraph, you can code it in C++ or/and LUA. If the current set is enough for you, you don't have to code at all. See http://freesdk.crydev.net/display/SDKDO ... aph+Editor for reference
