Tutorial Assistant
Developer spotlights describe an optional Tutorial Assistant separated from the main quest. It provides guidance without requiring every player to follow it.
A redesign after the demo
The July developer post explains that earlier step-by-step guidance was pulled away from the main quest. Read demo walkthroughs with that change in mind.
September test adjustment
The September patch says declining assistance no longer hides it until another quest. That behavior is documented for the test and should be checked again on launch.
When guidance is useful
If your plan stalls, record the exact objective and missing requirement. That makes it easier to compare the assistant, your journal and a source-backed guide without assuming the quest is broken.
