TIPS FOR NEW PLAYERS
Talk to everyone you meet. They might have important information to give or story lore to help fleshen up the world. 
Stack up on keys and herbs. The world is very big and full of monsters. Always be prepared.
Explore dungeons throughly. You'll never know what lies on the end of one of the cave paths. There might be valuable treasure.
Buy spells as soon as you can. With the power of magic, battles become strategic fights with complex layers that are still simple enough for beginners to the genre to understand.
