When i first tried to play DD, i felt the same way... There were so many new things, it was SO uncomfortable and i got confused very fast... left it for half a month and then returned, tried to understand a bit harder, and after some time got used to it... after i got used to it, everything went so fast, that i was in wastelands in no time (well, it felt that way, actually i was playing over a month and had completed 95% of all the quests). So, starting DD is really a pain, even more than any other RPG i played (well, i did start some demos and threw them away and never came back to them, so i can't say DD is most painful, but it is at least "very" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />) But RPG tend to have a hard start, because if they don't, you don't have as much fun playing it as you could.
