Yeah, unless you have serious anxiety about it just be what you want. Something like 90% of the people ive come across in game are at least tolerant of new people(if not actively helpful) - and youre better off without the jerks that run away from helping new people anyway. Be open that youre new, listen if people offer advice, and youll be an old pro in no time. Most of the dungeons are fairly obvious in terms of where you need to go, and most fights its pretty easy to pick up what youre supposed to do. And if people know youre new, theyll usually be happy to chime in with the non-obvious things you have to do when they come up. From there just pay attention. In general, the game adds more complexity as you progress but usually only a step or two at a time. For instance, a mechanic you see for the first time in the Deepcroft(a tethered add that makes the boss invincible until you kill it) will be repeated a few times later on(i remember that tether i better kill him first!) but possibly with a separate thing also happening to make it trickier. So since complexity is a slow building stack, no reason not to just play what you want from the start and learn it as you go.
