How the hell do you progress?

[Saryn]

I got to the berserker city but I dont want to join the berserkers. The only other quest location is to the alb camp and i got instantly killed. most creatures I run into are level skull. All of the quests I did gave me nothing useful besides money which wont get me armor or weapons because I am not a berserker. I tried to run to the Cleric city and got ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by monsters i cant hurt several times.

What the hell do you do to progress in this game because 3 hours in and all i have done is talk to npcs.

Learn to play a world, not a game.

>Avoid all the monsters
>Loot the derelict buildings

Creatures give TINY amounts of XP (10-20 on the starting mobs).

All your levels come via Quests.

Go to other city. Avoid anything on the road.
Plenty of quest involves zero or minor fight while reward massive experiences.
If you don't know where other city are, take the warlord's scouting other faction quest, it will mark other three cites on your map.

I understand that I am not new to rpg games. But I litterallly have nothing else to do in my quest log besides to go the Alb location where the seperatists are and joining the berserkers. I have spoken to every npc possible. I tried looting areas and the monsters just kill me flat out instantly.

Patience, weed hopper. You'll progress, do the quests. I'm about 5 hours in and just got my first armor and skills. Still don't have enough skills to use my new melee weapon. PB games are hard, slow, and great. Trust me, you'll be having a lot of fun soon.

I know the location of the city i want to go to but the problem is the enemy placements and levels of them.

You can do all the beserker quests and not join their faction. When you can join the faction you get a very obvious dialogue option that you can just say Nope to. So do the quests anyway as they are the fastest and easiest way to gain XP to level up.

I already did all the quests besides two and both of them are not to my liking. first is pretty much join berserkers which i dont want to do and the second is looking at the alb camp and they just kill me instantly

You have a jet pack. Nothing can catch you if you just run, really.

the jetpack does not move fast enough and you cant stay in flight long enough to not be killed by a gun or a monster ranged attack

You need to do ~10 quests for the Zerkers before you're even considered to join them.

You can do all the minor quests and not join them. In fact, one of the points of PB games is to play all sides against each other, do as many quests as you can while playing the 'middle man'.

Then learn to sprint / dodge / avoid. You can explore / loot the entire map @ level 5. < I've done it, including silly high level zones.

Then you're doing it wrong. ;) No enemy on the way to the other cities should be able to kill you if you pay attention, unless maybe by a lucky shot when you're in the air for that little to long, in which case reloading solves the issue.

how the hell is that even fun? im not going to spend hours constantly saving and loading just to cross the entire map to join the clerics. I dont care if this game was made by the god of videogames himself not even dark souls leaves you so in the dark and i played through all of them bloodborne and nioh.

You don't need to join a faction early on. Don't try to go cross country early on, you'll get dead. There are really a lot of quests in the berserker camp early on. And also, you can find enemies you can kill earlier on and places to raid nearer to he camp. It's sort of hard to explain when you don't know PB games. It's not easy and that's part of why it's great. Just stick with it, you won't be sorry you did.

ask for help and you be a ♥♥♥♥. thanks. im playing this game with a recovering hand. I litterally cant perform complex movements in games besides forward and left and right till it heals. a rpg that makes you avoid 90% of the game just to progress isnt a game at all.
