New Player Seeking Tutelage

[jleem21]

Hello!

I am very new to HnH. 1 day to be exact. I find the game to have A LOT of potential and have spent the last
few hours making several characters and kinda just plain ole messing around. I'm basically trying to catch an
understanding of the gameplay mechanics and whatnot.

I've asked a friend to join the game with me and we played for around 30 minutes till he decided he hated it.
I tried to explain many things to him but I myself was still in the learning process.
We spent most of the time just exploring and searching for food. Every time I felt as if the location we were
at was ideal for a settlement, I'd later change my mind because it became apparent that one of us must venture
out for food. And THAT'S the problem.

I had no idea how to really explain the game to him. I read many forums, guides, and explanations for the skills
and such but I still don't know what to prioritize in the beginning.

I find that if I can manage to AT LEAST have a steady source of food to provide for myself,
I'd be able to indulge in what I enjoy best about this game.

Basic Buildings

In short I want a small, little cute log cabin with its own small farm all surrounded by a fence.

In terms of combat, I hold no knowledge about the subject at all.

I was hoping for having the chance to follow around and learn some basic survival tactics from veteran players.
Such as, learn this skills and manage your beliefs like this and what not to do.

I just want to be able to create my own farm and build up a nice little hamlet.

If offered I am willing to join a village and help out however I can.

PS: I am prepared for any criticism I'm about to receive for revealing that I kinda just skim through most forums because I'm to lazy.. >.<
