I mean each to their own here but I assume you don't play many RPG video games, this sums up what RPG does, The world is in dispear we have no time to waste then you proceed to do 100 hours of side quests. this is nothing new here in video games.
I would be in Total agreement with you if it wasn't for the fact at no point in all the many many RPG games I have played.
Do I ever remeber the supossed main storyline having the Players Character need to collect the quest Item needed to urgently save another NPC's characters life.
And then after having collected said urgent Item instead of returning it as quickly as possible if not straight away.
Because lest we forget theres is a demon killing the NPC that needs it.
Has my Character ever thought to himself you know what i'm feeling a bit tired I think I'll go to bed and I'll do it tomorrow
night instead.
The Player maybe but for the MC in game to decide that themselves?.
Only time I have ever seen another MC do something like that was in another game on here My Ordinary Extraordinary Life.
And it fucking pissed me off in that one too.
All I'm saying is if you gonna have the MC faffing about stop telling me its supossed to be a life threatning situation.
Just Sayin.
