Just started the Witcher 3 completely lost and getting killed by everything help!? - So i just picked up a PS4 and the Witcher 3 a few days ago, im maybe 4-5 hours into the Witcher and I SUCK

- I'm at the point where i've just talked to the king about the Ciri mission (so very early in the game) I just killed that griffin as well. 

- anyway I feel like I still have no grasp on this game, I get killed by almost everything I come across, I can never find ANYTHING to heal myself, I can't even find merchants where I can buy stuff like that from. I played SKYRIM extensively and I think im still stuck on that formula of finding towns then buying potions and selling equipment then going back out to explore but im just not understanding how to do that in the witcher HELP
