/vr/ - Retro Games

the first section of sh1 is really not that cryptic OP. just stick with it, check any conspicuous structure, pay attention to the cliffs where the roads end. there are some dungeons later in the game that mess with you using teleportation but nothing that crazy, it's not hexen.

here's some advice for when the game does get a bit cryptic. when you arrive at this location do not cross, or even touch the bridge at all until you are absolutely sure you have completed a side-quest in the initial area, right side of the map

yeah you should play 1 first, 2 isn't directly connected but it plays on your expectations given by the first game and it sort of functions as an intermission between the connected stories of 1 and 3.

obligatory noob tip for sh1: Midway through the game you'll come to the area in pic, you need to complete a sidequest on right side before you cross the bridge or you'll get a point of no return and the fail ending. very inexplicably harsh and easy to miss
