just started it, game is amazing for me.

As expected i actually deleted it of my hard drive and 60 minutes later said to myself,why did you do that and reinstalled it

I just don't know which way to take this game if I'm honest,on the odd occasion i kind of enjoy it ?

bear in mind side quests are mostly optional, you can choose to ignore them if its not your thing.

Im sure the game without doing side quests would not last half as long if not shorter,funny you say that because when i read the hints and tips scattered about various websites they seem to suggest they are essential for ranking up and taking on harder foes.

well yes they will likely give you rewards making you more pwoerful, but you can compensate by playing on the lowest difficulty level which seems to be there for those who want to cruise through the game, and I noticed that can be adjusted at any point in the game.

My prima guides book arrived today and wow its thick, so thats a good sign there is lots to do.
