I don’t usually play tabletop and DnD, so I’m a little bit overwhelmed by everything going on all at once a couple hours into the game. I’m having fun playing as Lae’zel, and kind of going with it and have played quite a bit of D:OS2 years back, but I can’t help but feel like I’m messing things up somehow and might need to reroll a character later on.

Any beginner tips or things that made the game more enjoyable for you? Anything that took you way too long to realize? Didn’t see another thread anywhere else, but apologies if this thread already exists.

Little to no spoilers please.

I managed to get to level 5 with only long resting once per level and I play a bard. With that I can also say that my casters did feel pretty useless :)

The game gives the feeling of urgency and no time to rest but in fact there are just some quests that are time based. Take your time, use spells and rest every couple of encounters. Going all out every fight would make things really easy I think but having some restrictions to not do that and playing smart instead is something that at least I enjoy.
