Do you ever get so busy with side missions that you barely touch the main quest? Or do you focus on the main quest and try to not pay attention to the side missions?
I do some of them, but they often are just there and I avoid them. I am currently playing through The Witcher 3, which I feel I got ahead of myself within in terms of the main storyline, so I am now having to do some side quests to get some better loot so I can survive. I don't really like feeling as if I have to play them, but oh well.
