Actually, the game exposes itself at a fine pace, it's just unfortunate that our friends started in winter, and also spent no time exploring the game interface. The basic tutorial Introduced through quests is pretty thorough, for most new movements, and the rest is really how the player decides to play. This focus on min/max I feel detracts from the game. So what if they spend a few hours aimlessly wandering, it's a whole world. Although, this approach to self Introduction can indeed be staggering, and a bit put offish.
Honestly, just explore and see what is around, like any new in any game. Progress is not measured by the day. Have fun in this world!
