hard same. especially if your character wouldn't really be the plot-starting or interactive type (not necessarily true for me but i'm sure for others).

the mods seem really good about making things accessible to new players and keeping things on an even ground, so not everything is weighed toward the most active/the first to get to things. they're just making sure that the game stays true to their goal/vision and isn't steered by the players. not that i think anyone is maliciously trying to take over, it's natural to want to do your own thing and try to interact with the setting. but a balance is good.
