>>314817091>valid points and criticismIf you want handholding, fine, I'll give it to you. The Captain gives you 3 quests outside the city: find my missing men, go to the lighthouse, go to the church. How do I know what the right order is?
Assuming I did some exploring, I'd find the under-city tunnel which leads me to the missing men quest (which should be first but doesn't have to be). But let's skip that and assume the average man doesn't explore.
The church is said to be north-east. The gate right next to the captain leads to the north-east. It's like it's meant to be! However, when accessing the gate, the guards say, "Not even you are ready for the monsters out here, Source Hunter." Huh. I guess that's not where I should go. Well, the Lighthouse is said to be north-west. Which gates take me there?
I try the north-west gate, by the butcher. The guards say, "Let them have it, Source Hunter!" and open it no problem. I guess that's a good sign. Heading out, every undead in that area can be handled to the west, towards the Lighthouse. Also, if I went north-east accidentally, I'd stumble onto an NPC screaming for help, which is also the missing guardsmen quest.
And all of that can be done fresh of the boat, even if you skipped all the murder and End Times stuff.
You fucking casual.
Even on my first playthrough I figured this out, and worked my way east from the lighthouse until the church, which seemed too strong, so I went to the beach and found enemies my level.
