    If it’s like other games from this dev, then treat quests like table top rpg quests and don’t feel bad about cheating anyway you can. Their games are like D&D without a DM to get mad at you because you cheezed your way around a huge set piece battle that they worked on for an hour.

    worry less about closing out quests and winning fights

    No worries there, can’t win a single fight after the first five

    , and instead focus on exploring

    Got to the end of the zone, now what?

    toying with the tools & systems,

    Always struggled to remember my Tincture of Whatevering and Bag Of Holding

    remembering to take it slow

    I’m told I’m dying in 5 days unless I find a cure

    trust the dice

    LOL

      “Trust the dice” is terrible advice. The expression is “trust your GM/DM”. The dice are the fly in the ointment and the GM’s job is to turn their chaos into a satisfying story.

        Yeah, I honestly had to Google it because it sounds like such pointless advice. In combat especially, how does “trusting the dice” help at all?

        I think what they mean is “trust that the game will turn a lot of failing dice rolls into something interesting in a way a GM might.”
