Oh, another thing I'd add is you want to build the best pawn possible so that more people "rent" your pawn. When they take your pawn for a journey you get "rift crystals" a currency that becomes very needed by the time you get to the DLC zone.
There's a screen in the menu that tells you what your pawn's "inclinations" are. You can kind of reset them by sitting at a table and talking to them, but it doesn't always work. I'd look at a youtube guide on inclinations to find out exactly what they mean & which one's to avoid. The reason it's an issue is if they see you loot things all the time they'll start doing it as well, which is fine for some things, but when they're looting during combat it sucks. If your pawn has picked up bad habits you can buy elixer's from the second village you come across (like 200yd down the road from where you start) that will over-write all the bad behaviors and set the wanted behavior as primary/secondary/etc. It's not something you really need to worry about until NG+ or BBI, ie once you've got your vocations leveled, but I'd still keep it in mind (as you'll get hooked on this game if you're a western RPG/Souls/etc fan)

The addition of Bitterblack Isle was single-handedly the best deep dungeon experience. The lore of the place, the monsters, the Death and boss fights. The deeper you go, the more corpses you leave luring even deadlier foes such as Death itself…really lives up to its theme of a labyrinth of despair where a failed Arisen turned demon waits at it nadir in a defiled cathedral in a town that’s reminiscent of the starting town.

Excuse me sir, I had over 180 hours in that damn game. You do not know just how long me and my little brother have been trolling each other for online to be localized or 2 to be announced.
That final fight with Grigori is honestly still one of my favorite boss fights in video game history. It isn't hard or even difficult, it isn't some culmination of events over the course of multiple games that closes a book on things, but the cinematic camera angles and differing amounts of phases within the fight itself was just absolute video game kino.

A little correction here. Dark Arisen wasn't DLC like normal microtransactions are now. It was a full expansion. The console version had its own disc version separate from the original game. Oh, and about Pawns and Inclinations. Pawns don't just gain world knowledge. The Pawn AI System actively learns from player actions, which then affects how the Pawn's inclination ends up as. If you love using and spamming skills of a certain vocation, your Pawn will end up having those inclinations and do the same. If you love looting and ignoring enemies while in battle, your pawn will gain tendency to become a looter. It isn't explained in detail in the game, but your literal actions as a character actually "teach" your Pawn how to play the game. It's like having your very own ChatGPT as a party member.
BTW IMO the plot isn't really that bad. It's more like how well you're able to dig deep into the information, although the entire plot itself is simple fantasy stuff. The to-be-hero encounters evil, gains a reason to go after said evil, goes in an adventure and grows, destroys the evil and possibly even saves the damsel in distress, finds out there's more to things than meets the eye, reaches the realm of god/s, kills god and becomes god themselves. Pretty simple stuff. The difference comes from whether or not you are able to clear certain specific quests that give you more information to understand the world. It's kind of the downside as people can and have missed certain quests that glean more info to get the bigger picture.

"This was a game that was never finished and it's still better than most games I've played over the last 10 years." Such a good and raw way to describe DD.
