the info in the tutorial was indeed essential. I went through it all and read it all. However i guess it is not time-efficient in that you have to wait so long unnecessarily in a lot of parts, especially in getting info from the NPCS in the tutorial area. I kept on wishing that the interaction with the NPCS was like in the game neverwinter nights(the first one, never tried the second) so that it would be faster. So the specific issue for me is the time efficiency of the explanation of the tutorial. But doing an actual combat with that demon guy is good, I wouldnt rush that one.

Greetings everyone.
I am new to this game So my experience in the game so far is this:
The tutorial was excruciatingly long..
Then I went to a tavern and met a  few Sisters of X_(something) who helped give me a tour around the main city. Then a guy from The Warriors guild brought me to the place where the rock creatures live because I wanted to learn how to mine and he told me more about the world. Then for some reason I took a pterodactyl back to the main city and then I tried fighting stuff in the arena/coliseum. Then I started doing a few quests for the blacksmith NPC (harnquist i think). Then there was a dwarf guy who I started interacting with and he kept on talking OOC without signifying it so that was annoying since I was IC.
I am new to playing online on an Role Play server.

My character is Leonicus, a guy who was kicked out of his house by his father because he was being a bum and not having any skills to contribute. So now he wants to make up for it by becoming famous enough that his father will hear of his success. So basically all my character wants to do is "achieve stuff" so that he can become famous. Also he wants to do it in a good, honest way because that's how his parents were too, not sneaky and evil.

I am confused at this point on how to enjoy this game, and how to play the plot of my character. Also I want to focus on RP and not on grinding or powergaming, making the best build etc, but there are so many people I meet who are grinding, or being metagamey and even blatantly talking out loud OOC without declaring it. How do I really get into the Role Play of this game? Anyone have advice?
