Enjoyed demo for 2 but walled by 1

I played the demo for solasta 2 a couple months ago and enjoyed it. Was challenging but nothing overly so. I tend to struggle with crpgs (just played a bit of BG3 and Kotor really) and don't have much experience with them but I decided to play the first solasta while I waited. I got walled by the character select screen.

The DnD stuff is always confusing to me but there was just so many options that I just got too overwhelmed. There's races and back stories and classes and personalities and stat allocations and bonus stat allocations and so on. Every couple of seconds there's a tooltip tutorial and I'm not gonna lie it's all very off-putting. I made 3 characters and just stole a sorcerer off the premade selection. I then did a bit of the intro while it continued to bombard me with tutorial pop-ups and I stopped during the 3rd character intro.

The demo for 2 felt similar to BG3 where there's all these cantrips and saving throws and dexterity and all that other stuff that might as well be a foreign language to me, but I was able to push through with some basic RPG sense (I.e. paladin = tank = aggro + high HP) while letting the underlying DnD sorcery do it's thing, essentially just treating it like a JRPG. I'm not sure if I'll be able to play it if it's this complicated. What do you guys think? Will I be able to play solasta 2, should we expect it to be a bit more simple like BG3?
