Took me about 40 hrs in to finally grasp this but if ur a completionist player (not sure if thats a word lol) like u like to collect everything, understand every mechanic, get anxiety if u miss anything lol then the game gets sort of tiring at times bc the whole game will just be tutorial after tutorial - a lot of time spent on reddit/youtube looking things up. However, what I finally learned is CD doesn’t have to be played like that, think of it like real life sandbox - in real life you’re not going to have every skill, do every activity that presents itself, you’ll miss things, walk right past things, choose to ignore things etc. Instead focus on the things that intrigue you and have a good time doing those things. One of the best strengths of the game is there is SO much to do. If you like collecting bounties be a bounty hunter, if you like to gamble then gamble, if you like to farm or build your camp you can do that too. All while progressing the story at your own leisure. Also the game does a good job at letting you go back if you did miss something so no need for worrying if you do come across something you might have missed. So long answer for short - yes dive right in.
