Just about anything that I know now, I didn't know when I was getting started. Character builds, combat mechanics, lore, Larian's own particular quirks with writing and gameplay. I was starting at zero, other than a very base knowledge of Dungeons and Dragons as a 'world'. I did know from DnD Online that spells were limited in between rests, so I was at least forwarned there.
Regardless, one particular memory I have is my initial dismissal of 'sneaking' since I thought that I had to enter the sub menus for each character and track down the sneak action individually every time that I wanted to get stealthy. (This was on PS5.) That felt like such a hassle that I became dismissive of stealth as a tactic and defaulted to just fighting anything and everything at all times. I later found that I could use the down arrow on the controller and get my entire party to enter sneak mode all at once. Whoops.
