CRPG folks, got any advice for a newcomer? I've put about 15 hours into Baldur's Gate 3 and honestly I still feel pretty lost.

Everyone says BG3 is a great starting point, and I've even set it to the lowest difficulty, but I'm still struggling to get anywhere. I know nothing about D&D, so the combat system just feels really overwhelming and restrictive. Like, being able to cast a spell once or twice before needing to rest at camp feels weird to me.

On the flip side, I'm loving the visuals, the voice acting, the characters, and the story. It's just the combat that's throwing me off. I think I might be playing it too much like a JRPG or something like Mass Effect or Skyrim, which probably isn't the right approach.

Any tips on how to actually get into CRPGs? Or is there maybe a different game that’s a bit more beginner-friendly?
