Downloading the game, got some time to kill---any guides out there that you'd recommend? (self.baldurs_gate_3)

Hi BG3 community! Currently downloading the game now that I have a computer capable of running it.

I'm at 18gb/119gb and I expect about an hour more of downloading, so I was wondering if anyone had any recommended guides for a new player? Videos, infographics, etc? I like playing as either archers or magic users, if that helps.

Gotcha! I'll try my best to play without a guide then.

Though, out of curiosity, is there a need for a map or should I just run around doing whatever I want and eventually I'll beat the game?

The game is really good at guiding you. There might be little nooks and crannies you don't find, but it has a built in map with fog of war so you can see where you haven't been, so if you haven't revealed the end of a road or path you'll be able to see.

Also every quest you take up shows a waypoint even under fog.
