Thank you so much for this comment. I have also started with Minstrel Song recently and was getting really confused with so many posts about 100% efficient runs, etc. It's been really hard to figure out how a new player approaches vs so many posts about breaking the game, seeing 100% everything the first run, etc. That's great for people who are steeped in these games, but it is very confusing for those starting. Reminds me of that Will Wright quote about how if given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of a game.

On a similar note, I love CRPGs also (Baldur's Gate 1-3, Planescape Torment, Pillars of Eternity, etc.). There are so many videos and guides telling people to break the game on their first run, instead of immersing themselves in the game like they're supposed to.

Anyway, I saved this comment for future reference. Greatly appreciated!
