What should the player accomplish in the first five minutes?
PartialNew in Edition 3
The direction
The opening should teach through doing, not through heavy tutorial text. The first dungeon should naturally teach movement/controls, attacks and companion switching, with only minimal prompts because the controls should feel intuitive.
The current vertical-slice flow begins in town with a quest, sends the player into a dungeon, and leads to finding the first companion. Exact timing for what happens inside the first five minutes remains open.
