Like others, I would say that the learning curve to get to the point where you can have fun playing it is fairly low (but not insignificant), but getting to the point where you're an expert at everything it can do, every option, etc, if extremely high if not impossible. I think the toughest thing for a newcomer will probably just be figuring out where everything is. The game has so many options and screens that that can be intimidating. I've had the experience before of discovering new screens that have evidently been in the game for years that I've never seen before, and I've been playing since OOTP 4 or 5.

You can always give the demo a whirl, but make sure you let yourself have a chance to get used to things.

As others have said as well, this forum is an absolutely fantastic resource. I'm not sure I'd call myself a "regular" here despite being a member for over a decade (Jesus, really??), but whenever I've had a question the folks here have been great.
