First-session tips

Talk to NPCs, check routes carefully, avoid fights you cannot read, and use early quests to understand camp politics.

Save before risk

Save before entering unknown fights, hostile routes, or decisions that may change camp relationships.

Avoid unnecessary fights

Skipping a bad fight is often the correct route decision, especially while learning early combat rhythm.

Listen to NPC context

NPC dialogue can point toward safer routes, faction pressure, useful priorities, and threats worth delaying.

Exploration discipline

Explore boldly but not blindly. If an area punishes you quickly, keep the route in mind and return when your gear, level, or knowledge improves.

Early priorities

Prioritize survival, route learning, faction context, and basic combat confidence before chasing exact builds or completionist routes.
