[@hoodiesticks]

For reference, the first 48 minutes of the video are just Shen completing the tutorial island and messing around with building immediately after landing. From 48:39 to 52:46, Shen goes in an unusual direction and stumbles into stuff I would consider heavy spoilers. From 52:46 onwards, Shen starts following quest markers and only getting into mild spoilers (i.e. things most players probably see within an hour of landing).
