Not sure when you last played it, but they’ve revamped the new player stuff a lot to make the transition much better. I never had a big issue with how it was personally but I think it’s gotten way better about introducing new players to how the game works. Definitely not at all the case that you need a hundred hours to get into it, that’s just ridiculous hyperbole in my opinion. I think it may take a few hours of play to start getting into the habits and finding cool mods and stuff to experiment with, but definitely not a hundred hours of grinding. If you haven’t in a long time, try it out, it’s really great.
