This sounds like a very nice mix of semi-complexity while still being not to heavy to detract from the fun :cozybethesda:

There are some things everyone should understand. In order to progress in the crafting areas and learn new recipes, you have to venture into increasingly dangerous areas to open up these crafting skills.

There is a progression that requires that you cannot just build a home and spend all your time crafting, hunting and fishing. You will hit a wall in crafting and building unless you gain the ability to go into places that are more dangerous. In fact, you cannot even fish until you meet the merchant in the Black Forest (2nd biome after you start in Meadows). Unless you enter the tombs (dungeons) in the Black Forest, and kill a few Trolls, you won't even have enough gold to buy fishing gear.

So please understand that it is a game that requires you to progress in combat in order to progress in crafting. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if your dream is to chill out in Meadows cranking out high level food, potions, weapons, and armor you will be sorely disappointed.
