Since it sounds like you're a bit overwhelmed, I would suggest exploring the area beneath the village if you haven't, and then going over the broken bridge to the tollhouse and everything in that area. It's relatively focused and might help you feel like you have your bearings for a while.
Exactly - overwhelmed. Thing that makes me hard to decide is that I usually just play following a guide - that's simply the only way I seem to finish games. LOL. If I don't follow a guide, I feel lost and pointless in game world. Hope there's guide on release, always miss one.
