I'm actually hoping that it is overwhelming, this way I can play whatever path I want, then restart the game some time after beating it, and do it all again, and have a completely different experience.


Paths and choices are important, my dude. Don't use a guide, go in blind, make the choices that feel right in your gut, and live with them. That's why we live for RPGs. That's the fun of being immersed into another world where my choices matter.
