It's very sandboxy, so go at your own pace. You'll run into lots of quest threads wherever you travel.
If you want to just do trading runs between the first major city and the crystal settlements or back down to the border, that'll sustain you while you figure things out and there should be a couple questlines that you can start along those routes.
Otherwise just go nuts exploring wherever you think is cool. The game is usually good about signposting significant danger. Do make sure you have enough supplies to get where you're going or can resupply en route.
There are a lot of companions and I think you can't keep all of them at once. I also know that for at least some of them, if you say no when they have the chance to join you, you'll likely not see them again in that playthrough. There's a neat lady you can meet early on I'm thinking of in particular.
I still don't really understand the caravan level combat. The tactical combat is odd, but if you can figure out a good combo with your team, it should carry you pretty far.
Have fun learning about the setting and all the different towns and their niches!
Hell yeah comrade, thanks. There are an insane number of choices for builds and leveling, but I'm just going for it with the knowledge that I'll probably restart once I get a sense of what's worth it. Appreciate the advice!
