Basically everything about PoE seems to be overcomplicated and opaque to a newcomer. I don't know shit, familio.
I have tried looking around on Sup Forums and /vg/ for posts to help beginner players of PoE and the only ones I can seem to find are still too advanced/endgame for me. I've got a few hours into the game already, and I'm still not sure what I'm doing.
I've got some very basic beginner questions that I am hoping to get some help with.
What is it that I am trying to accomplish in this game? Am I just doing story quests and side quests or is there some other goal I should be after?
What is the point of Strength, Dexteriy and Intelligence after getting enough to equip gems?
What is the purpose of all these spell/support gems and shoving them into items? All I can see so far is that it allows you to perform different attacks? But I've got like 15 gem slots in my equipped items and I can't imagine 15 different attacks being reasonable.
What is the point of the different arrangements of the gem slots in items? Why are some next to each other and linked together and some are on top of each other and not linked.
How am I supposed to make any sense out of the skill tree? The sphere grids have sphere grids.
Should I even bother picking stuff up, the selling is cryptic.
