Playing very early and lightly with this game, fumbling around trying to figure out some stuff and find mutt but mainly just overwhelmed and not taking in any of the systems which are straightforward but my attention won't allow it. Very difficult to get into this game when you are told to do one thing but progression is tied to a different task. I spent a long time making horseshoes and axe heads for no reason at all it seems and the pay from them is terrible until I found out quest progression is in a smaller side squest like deal that gets tied in with the main quests description
You have to be in a seriously focused headspace for this game and I definetly don't have the focus for it right now. I'll continue to bum around but probably end up loading a save shortly after the stockades at some point and park the game until my head is in the space for it. It's very deep and nuanced which is usually a good thing, just a pity I can't get locked in, I need something easy and effortless right now so Black Myth Wu Kong will be my main despite it being not nearly the height of quality. 

That time spent blacksmithing may seem like a waste now, but it's actually not a bad idead to spend a lot of time trying to hone your skills-- particularly the timing to get the perfect swing and sound off the metal --because the jump in difficulty from early-mid blacksmithing compared to the late-game blacksmithing is massive, especially if you want to get the best tier 4 weapons. It's incredibly unforgiving on mistimed swings and not having the blade heated enough.
