That is somewhat true but it does not have to be the case, because the game is fun and have lots of fun ways to play, imagine its a board game covention and you have a hundred table top games to play, you can spend a couple of hours playing on the entry game and having a blast before moving to the advanced stuff and you can go on advancing at your pace, so yeah if you wanna go straight up to the deep end can be overwhelming but if you wanna make a character and go thorough the campaign, and maybe a little bit of the end game to get a taste for it, its a blast still
