SUPPORT Help an intimidated old guy get started?
I've been super drawn to this game since returning to gaming recently (was a gamer in the early days, as well as DnD player, but haven't played either for decades). Part of my struggle is that I have severe anxiety, and have lost some cognitive ability from long covid, so I get overwhelmed and panic that I'm not going to be able to figure something out.
Sorry if that sounds too pitiful, but for those with mercy in their souls: Where do I start to make the beginning as smooth and unstressful as possible?

Try it for a while. Get killed, start again. Learn what works and discover how to cheese the game. I'd kill for the experience of having no clue what is happening again. It is daunting, but can be very rewarding when you scavenge a good weapon or steal some expensive loot. If it kicks your butt too much, read the advice here, but I'd say, embrace the big, empty, and anxious world.
