I took the plunge. Did the tutorial then got absolutely annihilated by some dude on a horse. Now I’m in some catacombs fighting what looks like a big stone cat. I’m absolutely dreadful at the combat, I just hope it’s going to click at some point. The world feels incredible to explore, I just hope my skills allow me too
Fighting the knight on the horse early is a great way to realize what you've got into! It'll be very satisfying when you level up enough to actually give him a battering. The world is awesome, lots of stuff I never found the first time round. Good luck!
