You need "online guides" to play this game. No hand holding is fine but the game needs direction. Spend hours playing and more hours searching online cause your stuck or confused.
Theres an entire YT world on how to play this game. Thats not good.
I need an item miles away from a random corpse. How am I to know this?
NPCs rarely give you direction unless its some simple quest. But major quests. No.
Go to this castle kill this knight, save this person, get this spell. All in different locations. How am I to know? Guess?
BS. Get some balance.
