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.

Do no research, read no guides.

This. Even if you're absolutely ignorant of 5e, the game has so many moving parts that even looking up a build will partially spoil the game. Not to mention the game is too easy (barring one or two fights) to warrant a broken build imo.

What I would give to play it again for the first time.
