This may help.
Besides the free stuff the townspeople give you can be sold in the shops (contrary to the DLC clothes).
Reading is obviously overrated these days.
Also making storage chests in a crafting game seem to be overrated too. xDD
Let me walk you through this, since you don't seem to understand the problem.
You start the game. There is a cutscene. You follow Presley to your workshop. You are forced to go to bed.
You wake up in the morning and go to your mailbox. The first piece of mail is from the Portia Times. The second piece of mail is the free swimsuit DLC, which doesn't warn you of anything so of course you accept it. The third is the NPC outfit DLC, which doesn't take any inventory space. And the last one says to make sure you have inventory space.
Well, of COURSE you have inventory space! You have just started the game. You are carrying nothing. You MUST have inventory space. If you did NOT have inventory space, that would be STUPID.
Well GUESS WHAT?!
You don't have inventory space.
The swimsuit DLC has four clothing items in it, and you only have 24 inventory slots - precisely enough to hold the clothing DLC. So you are immediately notified that you have no room in your inventory, because this is a total of 28 items.
You look in your inventory, and probably hit on the brilliant solution of putting on some of the clothes to free up inventory slots. This does, indeed, work - you put on an outfit and those awful sunglasses, and that opens up exactly enough inventory to hold all the DLC outfits. Then you exit the inventory screen and you pick up the rest of the outfits, taking up your entire inventory.

NOW WHAT?
Well, the obvious thing to do is make some storage space. Oops! You will need to gather resources for that, but you can't - you have no inventory space. Perhaps you can drop something, and pick it up later? No! You can only discard something FOREVER. (This is arguably an UNFORGIVABLE design problem. I wouldn't agree, but I know people who would jump up on a soapbox and start calling for torches and pitchforks.)
You can't afford to upgrade your inventory size, BUT looking at the sale price of these clothes you can see that they are all worth 10,000 for hats and 15,000 for shirts and trousers, except for the sunglasses which are only worth 125. But hey! You can go sell one of these, and you'll not only solve your problem but get a solid starting bankroll for the game.
Except AFTER you truck yourself all over town looking for a merchant who will buy clothes, the game informs you that these items CAN'T BE SOLD. They've waved this massive price tag in front of your face just to mess with you.
If you bought the game AND all the DLC at the same time, perhaps in a bundle, this is VERY likely to be how your initial game unfolds.
Now, the good news is, all you have to do is START OVER. Reload the save, and BEFORE you check your mail, collect enough wood and stone to make an axe. Then use the axe to collect enough wood to make TWO wooden storage chests (each has only 20 inventory slots, so you need two). Put everything you have into one storage chest, get your mail, and empty your packed inventory into them as you retrieve your stuff. Once you know this is what you have to do, you will just do it in every new game you start.
The bad news, of course, is that this game has been developed by people who just plain didn't think of this. They absolutely borked the new user experience and didn't even care. And it shows, unfortunately - the more I play the game, the more I bump into little niggling details that are just plain sloppy (mostly quests that can't be completed, goals and world details that you never get notified about, and a general failure of NPCs to handle even the most minor schedule conflicts).
These problems are not caused by not knowing how to do it right, they're caused by not caring whether you do it right, which is usually the attitude of someone who gets paid the same either way... e.g. the contract dev who onboarded late, and got assigned a laundry list of things to do, but doesn't have any meaningful stake in the project.
I still love the game, because like I said in my review, there is way too much stuff done RIGHT to get all highfalutin' over the little things that were done wrong. But there's a lot wrong in here, and if someone's frustrated by some of that, they've every right to be frustrated and to complain about it.
Oh, you mean this?
Why it is almost as though
Or other parts you don't like.
Or grind the gold from mobs or something, 1 inventory expansion costs almost nothing.
Admittedly they could have given the player 1 free wood chest lol.
But, you have what you have.
You can't.
I said that, but you don't read.
And you've never tried, or you'd already know.
Run along now. Grownups are talking.
I'm just giving you options here, but fine bye.
Yeah, it's so overrated, right?
No, you're not. You're repeating options I already covered.
If you don't have time to understand the problem, then you don't have time to help solve it.
You are not going to learn anything from that, but somebody else might.
2. Gets warned, but accepts mail anyway.
3. Complains about it.
Okay bruh, i think i learned about enough from you lol.
For completeness, I had to check this, to see if it would actually work. Can a level 1 player productively grind mobs for gols in the starting area?
Most mobs don't drop gols in this game. The only ones I could find in the initial area were madcrabs, over by the waterfall. It's not especially difficult to fight them - combat in this game isn't the most detailed - but they only drop 4 gols each. It might also put some new players off to see that they're levels 6-10, when here they are level 1 and fighting bare-handed. (No, you can't get the +6 attack from the boxing gloves, your inventory is full.) It shouldn't, nothing in this game can fight for crap.
So to upgrade your inventory, you would have to grind a hundred madcrabs. That's the only option you have, other than reloading the save. I don't think you can do it in a day; you'd need two or three, partially because they're all the way across the map.
But it's the same problem, anyway: you have to know the secret. There are now two secrets: "make storage before checking your mail," and "grind madcrabs by the waterfall for gols." There is no way to know either of those secrets before starting the game.
Oh, and GUESS WHAT.

That's right! You can't sell it, AND you can't discard it. This goes for literally everything in the DLC - all 28 items.
This did not just happen. They did this ON PURPOSE. They packed your mailbox with enough items to completely consume your inventory before you even started playing the game, and leave you utterly unable to clear any of it out until you expand your inventory - which you can only do by grinding one specific mob off in the far corner of the map.
Unless you reload your save. Which is not a great loss, since it forces you to make this save a matter of seconds before the problem occurs, but I have to wonder how many people ragequit and refund?
No, I understood the warning and didn't have any problem whatsoever. I just left the outfits in my mailbox for a few days until I got around to making some storage.
I am talking about why OTHER PEOPLE are having problems with this, and they shouldn't. This is something that will happen to people within the first few minutes of the game, before they have had a single positive interaction with it. That is the single worst part of a game for problems like this to happen, and the player isn't the one with the problem. It is a design flaw. Something should be done. I doubt anything will be.
Not really. You COULD learn that if you are going to make fun of people for not reading, you should probably not complain about reading being a waste of time. And if you are going to advise people to do something in a game, like sell or discard a hat, you should probably know whether that can even be done. And if you DON'T know whether it can be done, you should probably go check before you open your mouth about it.
And you might, on the fringes of possibility, start to figure out that SEEING a problem is not the same as HAVING a problem.
But you won't. Because most people are stupid, and they LIKE being stupid, and they will fight like hell to REMAIN stupid.
