Im very confused why this game(much like other games I ve had trouble with namely DOS2) has an open world like map but doesnt actually allow you to explore it.

Unlike DOS2 u cant even know what lvl the enemies are in each area so how are you suposed to progress? I did what some people said and explored a bit but ran i to ambushes, quests I cannot solve cuz I get killed, trolls and other stuff.

I cant even try different oarty because some are locked behind quests so I am stuck with weakrr oarty members right now.

How am I supposed to kniw where to go and what to do? The game tells jack shit am I missing any clue? I want to understand the game so I can actually have fun playing it, so far it feels very artificial and unfun cuz I have to google stuff every 5 minutes, I dont want to do that. But if I dont do that it seems I cannot learn what weakness the new foes have , cannot find items, cannot win any fight...its so annoying...
