None of this is to say you should rush through the early hours, just don't veer too far off the path before getting your medieval adventurer's starter kit. Here, you'll also start getting more frequent side quests and incentives to explore the entire map. Mine is named Pebbles and we'll never be apart.
Push through until the main quest brings you to Rattay, the point at which you get the actual combat tutorial, the means to make some money, a bow, and a few quests in, a horse. The first 10 or so hours of Kingdom Come can feel a bit frustrating without a proper combat tutorial, a reliable horse, money, or incentive to explore the world. The 'real' game starts when you get to Rattay, so don't delay too much
