I feel I get more invested into a character when there's activities like Komisari has in his game. It makes it a little more immersive for me. Sure, just a straight out story has its good points but I look at it like this: When I have something I need to think about in real life, I'll engage in some activity that doesn't require my full attention like, yes, fishing or some other menial task. Komisari's MC has plenty to be thinking about. Even in games there are times when I get tired of just going all out to follow the main story or quest lines. Like in Morrowind or Skyrim I'll just go clear out areas and gather stuff just for the hell of it. I'll drag around dead bodies and make a pile of them outside my base and whatnot. A little variety goes a long way. At one point I attempted to make a Brahmin pet that pulled a cart to carry my stuff while following me. Got the model done but couldn't figure out Bethesda's scripting to get it moving correctly.
EDIT:
Wow, I was tired when I wrote this. I meant Fallout, not Morrowind or Skyrim....
