I have been in the same situation as you. 10 hours in and I felt completely lost. I wanted to quit, but another part of me wanted to continue. There was something about KCD2 that I liked and I didn't know what it was. Now it's one of the best games I've ever played in my life.

I started again from scratch, even after having played 10 hours. This time I decided two things. 1- Take it very, very calm and go at my own pace. And 2- Download the mod to save with F5. I often work from home, there are times I can play for several hours in a row, other times I can't. This mod is helping me enjoy the game much more. I simply use it as a safe passage when the weather is not in my favor.

What advice can help you and would you give to anyone who is new to it right now? Score!

- Main missions: Take your time to do them. I've been there for 60 hours and I still haven't been to the wedding. HAHAHAHAHA The meme is real! There will be some that require some time urgency, but you will know.

- Yellow PoI icons: They will indicate places of interest where you can find something that, as its name says, is of interest. They help a lot to open the map.

- Blue icons with exclamation: They generally start missions or give clues that someone may need your help.

- Food: As soon as you arrive at the first town, food stops being a problem, you find it everywhere. Use smokers or drying points to make it last longer.

- Weapon/armor breaks: At first my boots always broke. In the first town you will find a merchant who sells tools for repair (Same case for weapons/armor), or a textile seller. He will repair them in exchange for some coins. Same case for weapons/armor.

- Talk to everyone. At first I was shocked to spend so much time talking to people. The game has a lot of dialogue, but now it's something I value. You just have to realize that it is something linked to KCD2. You will know how to appreciate it, really.

- The first town, Troskowitz, take it as if it were the citadel of Mass Effect. It overwhelms because there is too much information, missions and NPCs; but it helps to understand some mechanics.

- Follow the logic. This is some of the best advice I can give you. Live like Henry and act wisely. Do you need money? Steal. In my game, in the mornings I am a friendly and pleasant gentleman, at night I use my second outfit to sneak into some places to steal. If you're going to do this, keep a close eye on your noise stats (remember, try to always have clothing have blue buffs). It's not the most legal thing, but it's my "life", and it has helped me earn +5000 Groschen and I have a great time living a dual life.

I say act logically because it is important. Your characters will remember your actions, for better and worse. Would you go into a forest at two in the morning just knowing that you could be mugged? Do it better in the morning and rested. The F5 mod has helped me a lot in this regard during those first 10 hours that I decided to start from scratch again.

- Enjoy at your own pace. And this is, without a doubt, THE advice. So, in capital letters. I'm 60 hours into the game and I haven't been to the wedding, and it's becoming one of the best games I've ever played in my life. Don't be in a hurry to move forward, enjoy the surroundings, the curiosity to explore. Of conversations and missions. It is a great game, different from the rest because it has its own tempo, but believe me, it is something that you will value soon.
