01 / 00:48 R Researcher What first caught your attention when you started playing? P Player · Forest Wanderer The world looks beautiful. I wanted to wander around and see what was out there. 02 / 04:32 R Researcher Did you know what to do next? P Player · Forest Wanderer I wasn't sure whether to follow the quest or go exploring. The hint in the top right was so small, I missed it at first. 03 / 08:16 R Researcher If you could change one thing, what would it be? P Player · Forest Wanderer Give me a clear, small goal in the first few minutes. Beating the first guard felt great, but finding the quest took a while.
