Have a friend that plays first time.
Here's the problems every newb that not played sandboxes have:
1. You need forage skill to find anything. The thing, that you can forage something from ground in this game is not clearly understeable by new players, and you have mutch more skills to choose. Options to fix:
- Forage skill is basic for any character
- There are quest that explains you about forage system in this game
2. There are too many skills you can take in game start. People just lost in them.
3. Game need things that you can forage with basic perc*exp.
