Should a beginner start with fingerstyle?
Yes, it's reasonable to start with fingerstyle. If you are completely new to the guitar then you'll have several other things to work on as well like fretting-hand technique, posture, basic theory like note names and chord shapes, etc.
Can I learn fingerstyle guitar first?
There really is no absolute in terms of whether to learn fingerstyle or pick style first. However, if you are a beginner, at first, you will need to spend most of your time developing your left hand by playing chords and single note melodies. The right hand can then be more fully developed later.

Is fingerstyle guitar easy?
It is a difficult style to learn, but one way that you can increase your ability to play more is to work on muscle memory in the picking hand. Your fretting hand will pick it up pretty quickly to learn all the chords, but you need to make sure the picking hand isn't being left behind.
