Alright, it's fixed and I could progress.
Camping is weird, I get ambushed by a beast but all there is to it is just some text. I can just select rest again until I succeed.
Combat is tough. Even the vampire pups are giving me problems. It's feels like rng-fest against a superior enemy. I would expect there at least would be some easy prey to find. I can't see the rage bars filling up in the UI, even after using avian grace. I don't know how to tame other beasts.
There's a skill with NaN points cost to pick.
