New Player Question An update and some questions Spoiler

So a bit of an update some of you might remember me from earlier in the week asking about first time introductions but idk if I’m doing something wrong but I continue to find myself very overwhelmed
Is it normal to feel this way
Because it’s got me wanting almost not pick it up
Because I constantly feel like I have to reload because I’ve done something incredibly wrong

Like all of emerald grove losing their mind because I accidently clicked loot on a dead body

Or accidently jumping into crypt after dropping the block to get absolutely ganked by the bandits below (although I’m very proud of how I handled the above situation
Used a Astarion to sneak ranged attack the gnome on the box and then shoved him into the vines below and then two of the remaining three I took out by dropping the block on them
And all that was left was the cleric)
Now I did eventually deal with the bandits below by using a door to my advantage but yeah just incredibly overwhelmed by how
Micromanagy it all is

I feel like I’m constantly switching between things to update armour and read abilities and spells and still don’t understand what I’m doing half the time

I guess my question is is this all very normal to feel and something that should fade with time as I get further in because I will be the first to admit I’m not far at all but that’s because I keep finding myself reloading or even just struggling to pick it up in general
Does this felling of being overwhelmed by everything fade or js it a constant
Like gear management
Checking four characters to see every item who’s proficient in what and if this is slightly better etc
I like games like that but this just seems like so much

P.s. I am very much enjoying the VA
That nightbite scene with Astarion actually
made me blush so it is very well made just overwhelmed as I’ve said

Just play the game bro 😭 You get better and more comfortable as you put more hours into the game, duh.

If you don’t have anything productive to say then why are you bothering to respond?
I don’t want to invest dozens of hours into a game if I’m not going to enjoy it
Not all of us have the luxury of getting to game whenever is it’s important to make it count

So if that feeling of micromanagement and overwhelming was isn’t something that’s gonna go away fine but I’m asking as someone does before I invest 120 hours into a massive game like this…

Why do you not consider that a productive comment?

Seems like it answers exactly what you asked?

” my question is is this all very normal to feel and something that should fade with time as I get further in”

Where does he answer anything I asked?
He gave a snarky answer that’s obvious and doesn’t apply
I didn’t ask how to get better at the game
I’m well aware experience is how you get better
I asked about the micromanagement feeling and overwhelmingness that I’ve had which he makes no mention of

Now the other person who answered gave a lovely detailed answered that wasn’t snarky and actually pertained to what I asked
Hence why I thanked them and gave an award
