Shadowheart: Daughter of Shar

Character Creation & Starting Out: After a brief cutscene, customize your character. You spawn near a bus station. Follow the quest 'Getting Started' by opening your phone ('Tab') and reading messages. Go to the payphone to meet 'U.N.' (Uncle Nelson), who directs you to fetch his stash near the skatepark. Collect $375.

Renting a Motel Room: Speak to Donna, the motel manager, next to the motel. The quest changes to 'Rent a motel room'. You can pickpocket Donna to reclaim the $75 needed for the room. Enter room 1 to complete the objective. Return to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson again.

Buying Equipment: A new questline, 'Gearing Up', begins. Go to the hardware store (marked by a yellow star on the map, or by following the road). Deposit your cash at the ATM. Purchase a grow tent, soil bag, and watering can from Dan. It's recommended to also buy 'Plant Trimmers', 'Packaging Station', and 10 'Baggies'. Consider buying a trash grabber and 'Trash bag' for optional tasks. If you tell Dan you're a drug dealer, he may gift you 'Speed Grow'. Return to your motel room, place the grow tent, and fill it with soil. Speak to Uncle Nelson at the payphone again.

Planting Your First Seeds: Uncle Nelson introduces Albert Hoover. Check your phone for a message from Albert. Order seeds via the 'Dead Drop' option in messages. The basic seed available is 'OG Kush'. After ordering, Albert will deliver the seeds to a highlighted 'Dead Drop' location. Sow the seed in the grow tent by holding the seed and pressing 'E'. Water the plant using the watering can. Sleeping after watering helps plants grow faster and conserves water.

Harvesting and Packaging: Once the plant is fully grown, use the 'Plant Trimmers' to harvest the buds. Place down the 'Packaging Station'. Interact with it to package the buds into baggies. You can also unpack items if needed. Jars can also be purchased at the hardware store for storage.
