Is the game always this tedious & confusing?

[Chubzdoomer]

I just escaped the prison and I'm wandering around the courtyard, searching for the guy who wrote me the letter and essentially "pixel hunting" for one more checkpoint pass to get help from fellow bandits.

The environments are so detailed, finding the items I need is a complete chore. I'm essentially running around in circles, straining my eyes for the smallest of details. I haved absolutely no idea where to go, and I'm having to avoid the same guards over and over again as I backtrack endlessly. It isn't remotely fun or engaging.

Is the game always this tedious and confusing, or is the beginning just tricky and the rest of the game becomes more enjoyable?

I absolutely love the graphics and atmosphere, but this constant pixel hunting and backtracking is sapping my will to continue playing the game. If this is what the entire experience is like, I may just have to uninstall and chalk it up as a loss.

Sorry about that, when exiting the prison, you can try reach hight places.
Maybe some people is waiting you there to give you precious directions^^.

I was going to go back to the Blacksmith to get more info, but now it's night time and he's gone and there's seemingly no way what-so-ever to "wait" until daytime for him to reappear.

Am I just out of luck?

Find a bed and sleep.

I tried, but it won't let me. I just get messages like "You aren't tired" and "You can only sleep when you're safe!" (even despite no guards being alerted to my presence).

You MUST find Silas.....



BTW....The game isn't "Tedious and confusing"....just is not a hand holding game, and I happy for that.

I did find Silas. That helped, because I got a new map of the area, but then he sent me on even more item hunts. It seems the game is nothing more than a series of boring (and often confusing) fetch quests. I ultimately decided to uninstall and apply for a refund. The game is gorgeous, but the gameplay is just plain bad in my opinion... massive letdown, and certainly not worth the 25 bucks I wasted on it. Here's hoping the refund is accepted.

Confusing, no; it's usually a simple run of go here, get this, go back, talk to this person.
As far as tedious, I'm afraid so;
You'll find yourself for 80% of the game going back and forth, sneaking around rats all the time.
Nothing really ever changes.
It's unique visuals and artistic drive is very captivating, however the tasks the game has us do just seems to become boring after awhile. There's only so many times a player can hold the sneak button past virtually the same enemies before the drive to wanna keep playing begins to fade.

Also, I found there is a lot of reading, and truth be told I found myself literarily falling asleep while playing, because things were so tedious.

Maybe with a sequal, more add ons and more exciting things can be added?
