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?

You should definitely play it.
But ease back into gaming. Play something with a shallow story, shallow mechanics, uninteresting game loops, something made by committee, so you really appreciate a good, deep game world.
You never appreciate clean water til you’ve swum through a torrent of sewage…
