They had some kind of a tutorial thing that explained the very very very basics, but that, and figuring out how to actually not die is a big difference. It feels scrubby but the game legit wants you to rest every few fights so you get your spells back and can heal up. Also for some godforsaken reason until you do this one story mission literally every weapon will break easily cause the mine they get the metal for the wepaons from is apparently cursed, so for the first few moments of the game where you're the weakest you're liable to be without a weapon randomly in the middle of a fight. I had a two handed greatsword break with the first swing I took cause it was a critical. At least the thing it hit died to it.
But once you get your groove, have a full 6 person party with a healer and get some kind of decent gear and armor it becomes more stable and consistent. At least until you meet something with petrification skills, cause petrification is basically instadeath unless you have the cure petrification spell which you likely won't. Just fuck petrification lol.
Yeah that's kinda what I remembered, on ps5 it said if you preorder you get 2 days early access to chapter 1 (of the full game version, not of the early access version) which I figure is the same on pc too.
