Sure, and in that case a different approach might be sensible. But honestly, I don't see how a newbie would want to play a complex character right from the get go. If they do, I'd propaly recommend a more Newby friendly world / round. I still stand by my point: A complex world doesn't by default speak against new players.

Some games are designed for you to play complex characters. Like Blades in the Dark. You're supposed to play a hardened criminal. Everyone's going to be new to the game at some point and need the ghostfence and the spirit lightning explained to them, and it's much more fun to play a character in that game who knows the world well.
