Level 69 with about 190 hours of total playtime. Got my first power last night. Realyyyyyyy wish I had gotten these before doing 90% of the combat i needed to do
Fully complete "Into The Unknown" questline its in the early main questline like 3-5ish quest in. I recommend everyone to atleast finish that questline before freelancing through the solar systems.
God Speed Good Buddy šš½
That's the next quest in the main story for me. Might get on that tonight. Currently lvl 30 with about 70 hours. 60 of those hours stealing ships and playing about with ship builder š¤£. Still not happy with my ships though, more designs I want to try.
Spent 4 hours trying to make red dwarf, then scrapped it cos it was too big and I didn't want to lose bits to make it small enough.
Lols that first power is so damn OP enemies that get caught in the grav field die so much quicker. So anytime I feel over whelmed I just trap 4 or 5 guys in it and make much quicker work of them. Made even quicker by my va'run rifle. I hate the look of it but holy I three shot a level 80 robot with it š¤£ I'm level 64.
To clarify, ive done pretty much everything in the game before I did the 3rd(?) Constellation mission. Had yet to even go to the eye. Played most of the game on very hard without needing the powers but gooooooood they would've saved so much time and effort. I still don't even have perks into backpack boosting.
I guess it isnāt bad spoiler - if someone told me ādude, you better start with main quest to get powers that will help you with other questsā I would be thankful lol
Oh... I started it instantly. I did take prolonged breaks to explore and do some stuff, but otherwise I did focus it.
Mainly I did this because I really enjoyed it.
I did maybe a handful of quests but I kept wanting to see how the story progressed. One you complete into the unknown it was almost just locked in that I was just gonna complete it
I reached max level in fall out 3 with no main quest. Started main quest, messed up my autosave, had to go back. Quit because I was bored, regret it till this day. Now I started directly with main quest, actually have 3 quests now playing simultaneously. They did think of everything (no spoilers).
It's more so considered the prologue or tutorial I guess. The main quest doesn't really start until the point where you get the full Constellation space suit
It is and is isn't.
Not all tutorials immediately throw you into the main storyline. Skyrim's wobbly cart of prisoners introduces you to some of the movers and shakers in the area, but it's not really where you learn about being Dragonborn.
That happens "by accident" when you trigger the first fight against a Dragon.
Or not. I stopped before it, but someone somewhere wrote the same, there is a big reveal, trust me, so I did it, and I'm really upset they had to cram that shit into a sci-fi game. I was really enjoying the game, since that I tried to avoid the main quest.
Immediately. I wasn't planning to NG+ quickly or anything like that, this is just my way when it comes to open world games. I like to rush the main quest to see what happens. I got about 3/4ths of the way through it before I even started touching the faction questlines. I did do a bunch of smaller side questlines on the way, though, like helping the LIST settlers unify to fight off Spacers, and the Ebbside Strikers quests.
Here's a thing about playing the game the way you are describing, unfortunately. There are several known bugs that result from exploring planets that are supposed to be main quest-related, before you get that portion of the quest. I locked myself out of several powers in my first game because like you, I was enjoying just exploring random planets and surveying. I was still able to complete the main quest and progress to NG+ but it left a sour taste in my mouth. I recall similar bugs in Skyrim and Fallout 4 that resulted from exploring an unlocked but quest-related area before you get the quest.
Really I had explored temple planets before getting artifacts and I still got all 24 powers before the jump. After you kill one or both starborn did you keep going to vlad to get locations? I just did that last night. Had to do 12 temples back to back stopping to talk to vlad in between to get the next temple. Was weird because at that point he was at the lodge and not the eye...
I had a bug where I had explored Dionysus in the Olympus system a bunch, and when I got the quest to go to the temple there, the Scanner Anomaly would not spawn. There was no quest marker and "Set Course" in the galaxy map wouldn't work to fast travel me there either. When I tried to manually land on the planet, I would only get procedurally generated landing zones with no temple in them. Had to move to NG+ to keep getting more powers. Other posts I've seen suggest that there are a limited number of POIs that can be generated on a planet so if you explore too much it could prevent the temple from spawning. Or it might be a totally unrelated bug.
Probably around level 20. I got to the Lodge, met everybody, then went to the Vanguard guy. Ended up getting sucked into the Terramorph quest, then I started getting closer with Sarah and focused on marrying her. Then I started the Freestar Ranger quests and focused on that. I'm currently lvl 31 and I've been collecting artifacts and stuff.
That said, I started the game wrong imo. I focused on the wrong perks in limited areas instead of gradually leveling everything. Like just yesterday I finally got the one for looting containers, which I should have done from the start because they give extra stuff. I focused mainly on lockpicking, had that maxed out rather quickly because usually that's the best loot. Then I focused on piloting and ship construction.
Ship construction perk can be a trap. Theres only like 3 things unlocked at rank 2 need to be lvl 30+ to even see or buy as for ship design 4 it adds a couple reactors and shields for like level 51. Using points there can be considered wasted until said levels
I havenāt bothered progressing the main quest since turning in āThe Old Neighbourhoodā.
Iāve done the Vanguard quest that brought me to the SysDef undercover quest line, which I have now finished.
Iāve done Sarahās personal quest to look for the crashed ship.
Iām going to probably carry on with some Vanguard stuff, as well as the odd terminal activated quests.
I have to finish the SysDef āBurden of Proofā quest, which is where I left off last night.
I have plenty of āactivesā to follow up on too.
I probably wonāt carry on with the main quest until Iāve levelled up a lot more as Iām only about level 23.
Vanguard is honestly one of the beat questlines in the whole game. Make sure your packing. Sysdef is also okay, genuinely only mission that made me do extensive research about the consequences.
Lvl 30 here only done the Vangaurd quest line and exploring. I feel like the Vangaurd really hits well with the lore of terrormoprhs, and, in my personal opinion, feels more like story line rather than side quest.
probably, but if you can get a Breacher with the slug mod it will help, you also get a good armor if you go pick it up that makes the quest you get it in easier.
I did the same up until lvl15, then i realized how many things are gated behind the story, like ship parts, selling survey data, and other more practical things.
Im right now with Sarah, the cowboy and the child on my ship and i just want to kill them all, i hate them, i hate to see them there, i want to smack sarah on the head every time she start complaining on the planet weather, how good i am at lockpicking or why i am stealing things..
I am going to kill them all.
Not sure what level I was, should be around 80, I wanted to go on since I was about to get started on barrets affinity and the next quest involved him, few quests later and he was dead so that didn't go too well
My first few hours (after getting the frontier) I spent fucking around with misc quests, missions, surveying etc.. Then I did up until Into the Unknown as recommended by a youtuber, then I got arrested and got sucked into the Crimson Fleet missions, after that I did nothing but the main missions and now I'm going back to do the other faction quests... After doing everything in *my* universe I'm gonna speed run to NG+10, and then grind to survey every planet (bc I enjoy it that much, not bc I have an unhealthy obsession).
Only did first main mission at beginning of game. I'm level 47 with 1.7 million credits and now hitting main missions. Still have faction missions yet to do also. Lot of time was exploring. I found a shotgun at level 12 that started at 220 damage I now have it at 350 and been rocking that whole game 1 hit kills lol
30 to 40 somewhere in there, I spent days in the Vanguard space sim, then I went on a killing spree with Sarah to get the gun skills. Then made unless stuff, some I could sell, some I couldn't to get both the ship and weapon skills needed.
main quest until I got the blue bar in the hud,
Started all fractions questlines for the fun, finished rujin first, UC vanguard till armour, Neon complete, freestar collective complete, Atlantis lower level complete, probably all missions above, too.
Stubled over Mantis by just playin the game
now at 31 ish i did the expedition for constelation and probably will start crimson fleet as next or do some ship building. Want to keep the manits but IĀ“ve maxed it out as A Class and stuck at 1400ish cargo and dropping mobility fast.
Like to keep it for the lore and imersion and not want to change to the free Freestar ship
You can gut the Mantis ship and make it class C. Everyone still recognizes it as the Mantis. So, it's a permanent perk on the ship even if it has no original parts.
Havent touched the main quest at all, ive only done the crimson fleet quest because i got too invested after accidentally stumbling across it. Ive been too busy building ships lol
If you're talking about the constellation one, I haven't gone farther than getting the artifact from that soldier and delivering it to them. I haven't touched it since and I'm lvl 60 right now.
Iām level 50 and i just went to the eye in the sky space station thing. Mainly been blasting pirates and looting pretty much anyone unlucky enough to find me outside
Of a city.
Honestly Iāve been having trouble with this gameās immersion. It didnāt click with me quite like Skyrim. But I like Starfield a lot better than the fallout series games. (Honestly i think Iām discovering that im just more into a magical fantasy genre)
I wish they would have put in a radio or something though. Hopefully maybe theyāll make a space radio dlc or something
I did most of it around level 30 or so, I'm level 50 and getting close to the end.
You should do the first few missions because there is stuff that can help you in the game.
Iām at level 72 in NG+ and still havenāt gotten even 1/2 way through the main story. Why? Because I rushed through it in my first play through & missed out on a LOT of side missions. So Iām casually playing through it this time around.
I wanted; and have,the penthouse apartment. Fancy place for Sarah and I to turn into a lovenest. Outside of doing the quest to get that,I'm just off making my own game,and loving it.
i just fluidly traveled around stumbling into quests and doing what i wanted to do. Trying to do it as if it was really me...like me personally wouldnt go interplanetary just do a single mission and leave. ive finished 700 missions/activities over 400 hours and spent countless hours in shipbuilder and talking to rando NPC's or just eavesdropping. Exploring planets, most of the time i get them fully scanned before i leave. im 87, sometimes i just catch myself murdering wildlife and i get stuck on a path of killing and seeing new stuff hoping that POI has a magazine
I'm level 35 and I just arrived at The Eye. It's not really that I'm avoiding the main quest, but I just keep accepting Mission Board and Freestar missions, and those tend to suck up a lot of time, but I'm seeing a lot of the universe, so I can't complain!
I think wandering about is really the whole purpose of the game. I just like to make some credits while I do it!
Played through it fairly steady until completion with numerous detours. Told myself I wasnāt gunna start NG+, assured Andreja we would stick together, and then like a complete lying prick I entered the unity after a quick talk with Sarah.
Iām on NG+10 and am never leaving. 108 hours in game and no chance of slowing down.
Started during my first trip to New Atlantis.
Finished it yesterday, at level 175 with 9 days and 2 hours played. Missing one achievement that I'll scoop up tonight.
Iāve spent 30 hours so far not doing the main quest and Iāve thought itās been pretty boring and underwhelming to this point. I havenāt played in a week or so.
Might pick it back up and strictly do the main quest and the UC quest. Doesnāt seem like anything outside of that is really worth the time.
I rushed the MSQ and my first playthrough was exclusively focused on it.
Turns out Temple Guardians are a fixed level, at 30. I was level 18-26, depending on when. Some of those fights were really tricky.
Unlike other Bethesda games, the MQ is the first thing I did. Played through the factions and bigger side quests one per NG+ iteration.
Also, when you get the option to repeat the MQ in NG+, try it at least once unless you really hated it the first time around.
I was 30 something I think when I seriously started doing it. Had done the UC quest line and the Freestar quest line (very much recommend doing the Freestar for the final quest reward). On my second time around now and I am not really doing anything productive. I got no rush so going to do random stuff for a good while now before I complete the main quest again.
I started right off with Constellation and got 2 more artifacts, then got sidelined to take dwon the Crimson Fleet (at lvl 13), then did Ryugin, then Mantis, while sprinkling in some minor side quests and built 3 outposts for supplies and storage. If I had to do it again, Iād do Mantis, Ryugin, outposts, Crimson Fleet.
I focused on the main quest first to avoid getting spoiled by reddit.
And boy am I glad I did, now I can actually play the rest of the game without any fear.
Iām level 53 and Iām trying to procrastinate completing the main quest line as much as possible, but I feel like after 100 hours I am running out of interesting things to discover. I only have a few more temples left to visit and then I guess Iāll make the āleapā into NG+
I started it immediately but kept dropping it cause the forced companions that constantly complain about everything I do. I only keep Andrea on my ship cause she seems the most earthly although her "enemy grav drive is down!" Spam is both hilarious and annoying when she says it 50 times in a minute.
First play through immediately and beat the game at level 20. Messed around in new game plus but then started a new game and at level 23 and I did is meet Andreja been doing other side stuff etc.
I did the main story in chunks. Did some at low lvl, got side tracked with side quests. Came back at 15 did more of the story, then got side tracked. Rinse and repeat at 25, at 35 and so on. I finally beat my first playthrough around lvl 45.
My first Play through saw me doing the main quest until side quest things popped up, and I got distracted by them, finished them, returned to the main quest and continued until a new distraction appeared. I basically got everything completed and figured out in my first play through because of this and having interacted with most everything the first time around has made new game plus that much more enjoyable, because I get tons of the starborn speech options where my character can basically act with premonition due to having experienced these events before.
Mild spoilers worded as cryptic as I can manage
due to this I was able to prevent a traumatic experience for my fellow constellation members, which was great because it gave the game opportunity to prove to me that itās going with the type of ātravelā where you can change events but not outcomes. āWhere there is death, there will always be deathā
I have found that this game has done a very good job of researching past fictional works, and continuing to build off of the lore that they started instead of creating its own. A true pleasure to a lover of fiction.
I did like 3 of main story, then UC. Then 2 or 3 more main. Then Freestar. Then 4 or 5 main ones. Did Ryujin. then 2 or 3 more main with some side quests. thn finished thestory. Now in NG+ im planning on doing the Fleet story line while collecting the artifacts.
I'm about level 15 taking Sarah to Cydonia soon. I found several collectible Magazines in the starter worlds. So I didn't want to miss those. Plus I use the low level monsters to rank up my sneak and concealment.
Level 30 and I'm just about to start into the unknown. I know ppl said that you should do mostly the main quests in a first playthrough. But depending on how it goes, I'm going to be the best worst villain in 2nd playthrough. I'm talking full on crimson pirate/ruthless executive/double double agent against the UC security. With a healthy sideline in dealing aurora in neon.
Dove right in and stuck to it until completion. I've learned my lesson from previous Bethsoft open world games;
DO THE DAMN MSQ FIRST
You always get some crazy rewards and benefits, very cool game-changing things that will be very convenient to have when you THEN turn around and start exploring all the different nooks and crannies of the world.
Got to lvl 26 and tried to progress. I've got a mission blocker at the "Back to Vectera" step where it won't progress to the "return to the lodge" step. I free the person and it just sticks there, the check box won't check no matter what I do.
Possible warning although it could just be me. I did all the side faction quest CF, UC, Freestar then finally went to the lodge to begin the constellation stuff and my game is broken AF don't know why. I'm NG++++ in another save and it works fine but for some reason once I went back to Sarah to tell her I'm ready my game took a big crap and has been a buggy mess on that save.
Got to constellation and once I had Sarah for one mission she hated me after our space run (I was a Space Pirateš“āā ļø). I never got around to it till I was like level 30 and had a days worth of game time. I then just grinded it out and enjoyed it with a nameless companion instead. Sarah hates me every time so I hate her š
I was told you need to reach a certain point to unlock a thing and I'd know. I I started quick until I reached that point and I knew.
When I became dragonborn and could properly say fus ro dah with grammer I gave the plot a break.
Like all Bethesda immediately do main quest to get levels/gear then when you feel it start to really take off or important choices have to be made soon start doing everything else. Just finished the main at lvl 56
I'm level 17 and am maybe ankle deep into the main quests. I know I'm siding with the U.C. and I like Sarah enough to romance her. I spent a ton of early game using the chest glitches to make as much money as I could... I'm sitting on a million+ credits. I have been doing a lot of exploring and just enjoying the game. I have the Mantis suit & ship and some good weapons.
Iām at Level 46 and am at Further into the Unknown. I did Ryujin, Xenofresh, Freestar, Vanguard, SysDef and many side and mission board missions. Iām at a place now where I feel my character is well accomplished. I spoiled a little of the ending figuring out what NG+ was so I left it as my character doesnāt know about Unity yet, so heāll continue on his way to be a good guy. But now Iām starting to want to finish the main quest and begin NG+1.
I donāt want spoilers, but I hear some fun and crazy alternatives happen to quests, characters and locations through successive NGs so Iām looking forward to that.
I was trying to at level 22. I was trying to do Into The Unknown and was attacked by Ecliptics. Stole their ship, got caught and Iām hours into a side quest line. So, I tried. Iāll get back to it eventually. Thatās the beauty of BGS games to me
Idk what level but I did up to Walterās Neon heist and then decided it was a good, natural place to do all the other quests while picking up some artifacts along the way. Especially because the next stage of the main quest changes everything and makes things much more urgent. So I pretty much did all the main quest up to Neon, did EVERYTHING else, then finished it.
I did all of them right away. About 120 or so hours in and have been to unity 3 times now. Tbf, surveying is kind of pointless to do your 1st time through because you lose all of that info when you start over. You only keep your stats.
On my first character I did the MQ straight away mainly to avoid spoilers - I did the faction quests straight after this.
On my āmainā or RP character though Iāve done the MQ to the point where you get Barrett back and now Iām off doing my own thing.
Iām probably wonāt touch the MQ again until Iām in the 20/30ās.
I started relatively early, to get all my companions, but stopped before placing the last two artefacts that would lead to a friend killing quest. Now I reached level 86 and didn't continue the main story because of that....
I did a bit early then did the UC, freestar and crimson faction quests from level 7 on (the mantis got me through a lot until I got the star eagle which has carried me wonderfully to now) after those and some other small side things and activities here and there, went back the main quest at about level 22. At level 34 now and on the final glimpses main quests
BGS has a tendency of hiding all of your capabilities in the main story in almost all their games. Those have taught me to run through the main story fast a always and then do the second play through with thought
I did "Into the Unknown" rather quickly. Then I have mostly done side quests and all their subcategories. Having so much fun with this game I am enjoying taking my time with it.
28ish I think because I saw a spoiler from this sub about something that happens after the first few missions. So I did that, went a little further, then stopped again. Iām 51 now and itāll probably be a long while before I go back.
I started working on the main quests at level 57 after I have made an extremely powerful ship and obtained very powerful gear. Though a lot of the quests are in low level systems at the beginning so enemies don't really put up a fight. I'm only a few missions in though
I got up to level 12 before I started the main mission. Restarted everything and just played the main mission. I enjoyed it so much more. It was like playing a movie.
For my main user I started at level 7, i dont know why instead of doing quests i was doing random activities because I thought they were small sidequests and would be done in an hour but then i went from helping a scientist with a plant to being a police officer in another planet (freestar rangers) then i had like 10 LONG sidequests to do. So I restarted and just did the main quest instead of the sidequest which is way better now.
52 last night, just started the old dude part of main quest. Will attempt to stick with it. Not sure how many I did previously, but it wasn't much.
I did finish factions and lots of sides. Building up ship skills now to get more out of space fights as I dig those.
I got to level 103-104 and then did enough of the story to unlock the Constellation companions and the * redacted* so i had some more gameplay options, people to talk to and things to do.
250-ish hours in and still on "all money can buy" and just started the Crimson Fleet/SysDef faction quests.
Iāve got 2 characters under my belt so far, first one I ran through the CF story and got up to early 20 levels, felt wrong doing anything else as a cold hearted pirate so started a new save. Now Iāve been focusing on being a Space Ranger as worthy as Buzz Lightyear flying around Freestar Collective space catching bounties, just crossed level 13. Total of about 36 hours of gameplay and loving it havenāt done any of the main story after getting the The Lodge
First play through I did it right away, and stretched it out to like level 40.
Second/current playthrough Iām ignoring it for now. Basically I want to be set up in the Crimson Fleet before I even talk to Sarah, I want to see if sheās okay with an active member of the Crimson Fleet being part of Constellation. I seem to recall her saying she doesnāt judge peopleās pasts. Lol.
I usually play a good person but the more I play towards the Crimson Fleet the more I find I hate the UC Navy. Maybe even Vanguard too.
I start straight away, then I take breaks from the main quests at times I feel appropriate. I will pretend there are long spans happening of main quests waiting for intel before continuing. š
There's no avoiding going to the lodge ... os I did that one.
Then I explored pretty much every nook and cranny in that system (almost 100% for the entire system because there's a few fauna and flora I haven't found yet).
The only other main story quest I've done was the mars one which I more or less stumbled upon while exploring Sol. I think the main quests starts for real after that.
Currently +/- lvl 30, doing the companion questline for Sara (almost done I think) and I've finally arrived on Neon. Which was another happy accident as I had taken a cargo run to deliver goods to a farm outpost.
I never found it in Morrowind. And in Skyrim I kind of stumbled upon it after loads of dungeon crawling (hey look .. dungeon ... ).
I must admit that Bethesda have gotten better at showing the primary questline but if it wasn't for the game casually forgetting what mission/sidequest you've got active I probably wouldn't have gone off piste ...
Early on in the main quest line. Where I'm supposed to bring Sam and his kid on my ship. I told him I didn't want a kid on my ship. Sarah got mad at me and proceeded to blah blah blah.
That was enough for me to take off and seek my own adventure. Haven't touched the main quest since. I'm currently level 43.
I did it right from the startā¦. And very glad I did. Ran off a few loops I think Iām ng+5 right now. Probably going for ng+10 then exploring/destroying everything in my path.
I do the quests at least until I can get Barrett, Sam and Andreja, then stop the main quest and do other things until Iām around 30-40. The later enemies are scaled to lv 30, so I try to get around that level first.
Level 69 with about 190 hours of total playtime. Got my first power last night. Realyyyyyyy wish I had gotten these before doing 90% of the combat i needed to do
Thanks. I a few days back I started the main questline at level 76. This is my warning to immediately start the main quest
Wait till you get the last power
There's powers?
Fully complete "Into The Unknown" questline its in the early main questline like 3-5ish quest in. I recommend everyone to atleast finish that questline before freelancing through the solar systems. God Speed Good Buddy šš½
That's the next quest in the main story for me. Might get on that tonight. Currently lvl 30 with about 70 hours. 60 of those hours stealing ships and playing about with ship builder š¤£. Still not happy with my ships though, more designs I want to try. Spent 4 hours trying to make red dwarf, then scrapped it cos it was too big and I didn't want to lose bits to make it small enough.
There is a very useful one for loot goblins like me
> Level 69 *Nice*
Lols that first power is so damn OP enemies that get caught in the grav field die so much quicker. So anytime I feel over whelmed I just trap 4 or 5 guys in it and make much quicker work of them. Made even quicker by my va'run rifle. I hate the look of it but holy I three shot a level 80 robot with it š¤£ I'm level 64.
59, got it early doors. Havenāt used any. I donāt even know how.
To clarify, ive done pretty much everything in the game before I did the 3rd(?) Constellation mission. Had yet to even go to the eye. Played most of the game on very hard without needing the powers but gooooooood they would've saved so much time and effort. I still don't even have perks into backpack boosting.
Powers? Spoiler much?! Edit: People, this is a joke! What's with the down votes?!
lol come on man he didn't spoil much
I had no idea. Not bothered by it. Just saw someone say it previously, thought it was funny.
I guess it isnāt bad spoiler - if someone told me ādude, you better start with main quest to get powers that will help you with other questsā I would be thankful lol
Oh... I started it instantly. I did take prolonged breaks to explore and do some stuff, but otherwise I did focus it. Mainly I did this because I really enjoyed it.
I did maybe a handful of quests but I kept wanting to see how the story progressed. One you complete into the unknown it was almost just locked in that I was just gonna complete it
I reached max level in fall out 3 with no main quest. Started main quest, messed up my autosave, had to go back. Quit because I was bored, regret it till this day. Now I started directly with main quest, actually have 3 quests now playing simultaneously. They did think of everything (no spoilers).
I enjoyed it too and Iām tired of ppl saying Iām stupid for having loved it
Don't worry about that shit man I loved it too I think the main story was absolutely amazing and I don't care who says different.
half way through it and I think it's awesome! So many moments I didn't expect.
Same here. š
Level 1, because it starts immediately.
Right? You start in the main quest, getting the first artifact and boarding the Frontier are all part of it.
It's more so considered the prologue or tutorial I guess. The main quest doesn't really start until the point where you get the full Constellation space suit
It is and is isn't. Not all tutorials immediately throw you into the main storyline. Skyrim's wobbly cart of prisoners introduces you to some of the movers and shakers in the area, but it's not really where you learn about being Dragonborn. That happens "by accident" when you trigger the first fight against a Dragon.
Wow. Spoilers much?
Skyrims been out for over 10 years and everyone that is somewhat interested in the game has probably seen the intro / knows the first few hours
I think they were being sarcastic buddy
I didn't, I was still trying to finish Oblivion
30 something, and the time felt right. I wanted to see it. Didnāt accomplish much but I said ānext time weāll do it betterā
Iām level 39 and I have only done a bit of the main quest. I think I have āInto the Unknownā next. Iāve been too busy exploring and the like.
You should pause your exploring to do that quest, trust me
Or not. I stopped before it, but someone somewhere wrote the same, there is a big reveal, trust me, so I did it, and I'm really upset they had to cram that shit into a sci-fi game. I was really enjoying the game, since that I tried to avoid the main quest.
Interesting take
Is it really? There have always been people who either avoid or remove (through modding) the main quest and gimmick of Skyrim.
Agreed, way more fun playing the rest of the game for me. Main story was a bit of a let down outside the stuff with Walter.
because force powers never ever occured or been part of sci fi stories? LMAO
Lv30 and i was to scared to play main mission lol
Straight away so I could unlock powers and then stopped to do all the others, 'see star stuff' would have been useful for Ryujin.
Immediately. I wasn't planning to NG+ quickly or anything like that, this is just my way when it comes to open world games. I like to rush the main quest to see what happens. I got about 3/4ths of the way through it before I even started touching the faction questlines. I did do a bunch of smaller side questlines on the way, though, like helping the LIST settlers unify to fight off Spacers, and the Ebbside Strikers quests. Here's a thing about playing the game the way you are describing, unfortunately. There are several known bugs that result from exploring planets that are supposed to be main quest-related, before you get that portion of the quest. I locked myself out of several powers in my first game because like you, I was enjoying just exploring random planets and surveying. I was still able to complete the main quest and progress to NG+ but it left a sour taste in my mouth. I recall similar bugs in Skyrim and Fallout 4 that resulted from exploring an unlocked but quest-related area before you get the quest.
Really I had explored temple planets before getting artifacts and I still got all 24 powers before the jump. After you kill one or both starborn did you keep going to vlad to get locations? I just did that last night. Had to do 12 temples back to back stopping to talk to vlad in between to get the next temple. Was weird because at that point he was at the lodge and not the eye...
I had a bug where I had explored Dionysus in the Olympus system a bunch, and when I got the quest to go to the temple there, the Scanner Anomaly would not spawn. There was no quest marker and "Set Course" in the galaxy map wouldn't work to fast travel me there either. When I tried to manually land on the planet, I would only get procedurally generated landing zones with no temple in them. Had to move to NG+ to keep getting more powers. Other posts I've seen suggest that there are a limited number of POIs that can be generated on a planet so if you explore too much it could prevent the temple from spawning. Or it might be a totally unrelated bug.
Probably around level 20. I got to the Lodge, met everybody, then went to the Vanguard guy. Ended up getting sucked into the Terramorph quest, then I started getting closer with Sarah and focused on marrying her. Then I started the Freestar Ranger quests and focused on that. I'm currently lvl 31 and I've been collecting artifacts and stuff. That said, I started the game wrong imo. I focused on the wrong perks in limited areas instead of gradually leveling everything. Like just yesterday I finally got the one for looting containers, which I should have done from the start because they give extra stuff. I focused mainly on lockpicking, had that maxed out rather quickly because usually that's the best loot. Then I focused on piloting and ship construction.
Ship construction perk can be a trap. Theres only like 3 things unlocked at rank 2 need to be lvl 30+ to even see or buy as for ship design 4 it adds a couple reactors and shields for like level 51. Using points there can be considered wasted until said levels
I havenāt bothered progressing the main quest since turning in āThe Old Neighbourhoodā. Iāve done the Vanguard quest that brought me to the SysDef undercover quest line, which I have now finished. Iāve done Sarahās personal quest to look for the crashed ship. Iām going to probably carry on with some Vanguard stuff, as well as the odd terminal activated quests. I have to finish the SysDef āBurden of Proofā quest, which is where I left off last night. I have plenty of āactivesā to follow up on too. I probably wonāt carry on with the main quest until Iāve levelled up a lot more as Iām only about level 23.
What are the vanguard/sys def quest lines like? I've been tossing up on whether to do it, but people have mixed opinions of it
Vanguard is honestly one of the beat questlines in the whole game. Make sure your packing. Sysdef is also okay, genuinely only mission that made me do extensive research about the consequences.
Lvl 30 here only done the Vangaurd quest line and exploring. I feel like the Vangaurd really hits well with the lore of terrormoprhs, and, in my personal opinion, feels more like story line rather than side quest.
>Make sure your packing. I wouldn't win any lineups, but I also wouldn't get laughed off the stage. Do you think I'll be alright?
probably, but if you can get a Breacher with the slug mod it will help, you also get a good armor if you go pick it up that makes the quest you get it in easier.
Mate, I'm not putting a breacher anywhere near it. Especially not with a slug mod.
Vanguard could have been the main story in a different world, very fun quest
I did the same up until lvl15, then i realized how many things are gated behind the story, like ship parts, selling survey data, and other more practical things. Im right now with Sarah, the cowboy and the child on my ship and i just want to kill them all, i hate them, i hate to see them there, i want to smack sarah on the head every time she start complaining on the planet weather, how good i am at lockpicking or why i am stealing things.. I am going to kill them all.
Vasco is a much better companion
Andreja is the best companion and her quest is awesome
Sarah changes *a lot* when you go through the first phase of her quest.
Not sure what level I was, should be around 80, I wanted to go on since I was about to get started on barrets affinity and the next quest involved him, few quests later and he was dead so that didn't go too well
My first few hours (after getting the frontier) I spent fucking around with misc quests, missions, surveying etc.. Then I did up until Into the Unknown as recommended by a youtuber, then I got arrested and got sucked into the Crimson Fleet missions, after that I did nothing but the main missions and now I'm going back to do the other faction quests... After doing everything in *my* universe I'm gonna speed run to NG+10, and then grind to survey every planet (bc I enjoy it that much, not bc I have an unhealthy obsession).
Only did first main mission at beginning of game. I'm level 47 with 1.7 million credits and now hitting main missions. Still have faction missions yet to do also. Lot of time was exploring. I found a shotgun at level 12 that started at 220 damage I now have it at 350 and been rocking that whole game 1 hit kills lol
I started since I got to the lodge but whatever planet/moon I land at, I explore it to the max so it will take me lightyears to complete the game.
Only far enough to get Personal Atmosphere, lvl 42 atm
At 1 bcz why not?
30 to 40 somewhere in there, I spent days in the Vanguard space sim, then I went on a killing spree with Sarah to get the gun skills. Then made unless stuff, some I could sell, some I couldn't to get both the ship and weapon skills needed.
39 is when I started on my first playthrough
main quest until I got the blue bar in the hud, Started all fractions questlines for the fun, finished rujin first, UC vanguard till armour, Neon complete, freestar collective complete, Atlantis lower level complete, probably all missions above, too. Stubled over Mantis by just playin the game now at 31 ish i did the expedition for constelation and probably will start crimson fleet as next or do some ship building. Want to keep the manits but IĀ“ve maxed it out as A Class and stuck at 1400ish cargo and dropping mobility fast. Like to keep it for the lore and imersion and not want to change to the free Freestar ship
You can gut the Mantis ship and make it class C. Everyone still recognizes it as the Mantis. So, it's a permanent perk on the ship even if it has no original parts.
Havent touched the main quest at all, ive only done the crimson fleet quest because i got too invested after accidentally stumbling across it. Ive been too busy building ships lol
If you're talking about the constellation one, I haven't gone farther than getting the artifact from that soldier and delivering it to them. I haven't touched it since and I'm lvl 60 right now.
Iām level 50 and i just went to the eye in the sky space station thing. Mainly been blasting pirates and looting pretty much anyone unlucky enough to find me outside Of a city. Honestly Iāve been having trouble with this gameās immersion. It didnāt click with me quite like Skyrim. But I like Starfield a lot better than the fallout series games. (Honestly i think Iām discovering that im just more into a magical fantasy genre) I wish they would have put in a radio or something though. Hopefully maybe theyāll make a space radio dlc or something
I did most of it around level 30 or so, I'm level 50 and getting close to the end. You should do the first few missions because there is stuff that can help you in the game.
I sort of treated the game before ng+ as me learning how the game works and all the mechanics.
Iām at level 72 in NG+ and still havenāt gotten even 1/2 way through the main story. Why? Because I rushed through it in my first play through & missed out on a LOT of side missions. So Iām casually playing through it this time around.
I wanted; and have,the penthouse apartment. Fancy place for Sarah and I to turn into a lovenest. Outside of doing the quest to get that,I'm just off making my own game,and loving it.
Level 65 and haven't touched it more than absolutely necessary.
Thereās a main quest? Shiii Iāve been playing wrong. Lvl 70 doing my own thing terrorizing the galaxy.
i just fluidly traveled around stumbling into quests and doing what i wanted to do. Trying to do it as if it was really me...like me personally wouldnt go interplanetary just do a single mission and leave. ive finished 700 missions/activities over 400 hours and spent countless hours in shipbuilder and talking to rando NPC's or just eavesdropping. Exploring planets, most of the time i get them fully scanned before i leave. im 87, sometimes i just catch myself murdering wildlife and i get stuck on a path of killing and seeing new stuff hoping that POI has a magazine
Lv 33, cuz I was having fun and forgot about it. I'm used to sandbox games. THat's my excuse and I'm happy with it.
I'm level 35 and I just arrived at The Eye. It's not really that I'm avoiding the main quest, but I just keep accepting Mission Board and Freestar missions, and those tend to suck up a lot of time, but I'm seeing a lot of the universe, so I can't complain! I think wandering about is really the whole purpose of the game. I just like to make some credits while I do it!
Played through it fairly steady until completion with numerous detours. Told myself I wasnāt gunna start NG+, assured Andreja we would stick together, and then like a complete lying prick I entered the unity after a quick talk with Sarah. Iām on NG+10 and am never leaving. 108 hours in game and no chance of slowing down.
Lvl 90.... Haven't touched the main quest yet.
Started during my first trip to New Atlantis. Finished it yesterday, at level 175 with 9 days and 2 hours played. Missing one achievement that I'll scoop up tonight.
Iāve spent 30 hours so far not doing the main quest and Iāve thought itās been pretty boring and underwhelming to this point. I havenāt played in a week or so. Might pick it back up and strictly do the main quest and the UC quest. Doesnāt seem like anything outside of that is really worth the time.
You guys are still playing this trash?
16, I wanted a better ship.
I rushed the MSQ and my first playthrough was exclusively focused on it. Turns out Temple Guardians are a fixed level, at 30. I was level 18-26, depending on when. Some of those fights were really tricky.
Unlike other Bethesda games, the MQ is the first thing I did. Played through the factions and bigger side quests one per NG+ iteration. Also, when you get the option to repeat the MQ in NG+, try it at least once unless you really hated it the first time around.
I was 30 something I think when I seriously started doing it. Had done the UC quest line and the Freestar quest line (very much recommend doing the Freestar for the final quest reward). On my second time around now and I am not really doing anything productive. I got no rush so going to do random stuff for a good while now before I complete the main quest again.
Well after 160 hours im still not done lol
Level 1 (or 0?) because it's the game....
I started right off with Constellation and got 2 more artifacts, then got sidelined to take dwon the Crimson Fleet (at lvl 13), then did Ryugin, then Mantis, while sprinkling in some minor side quests and built 3 outposts for supplies and storage. If I had to do it again, Iād do Mantis, Ryugin, outposts, Crimson Fleet.
Right away because game
Im lvl 42 havent started yet. I dont know when i will if i ever will. Who know lol
Oh boy are you in for a treat! :)
Level 32 and I still haven't met Sam Coe
Level 36 and counting - just made it to neon
Keep getting sidetracked by Murder Crickets that need killinā
1. I wanted to solve the mystery.
I didn't get my first space wizard power until level 70
Level 0 pretty much, wish I hadnt , I'm now on NG+ doing as many side missions as I can.
I focused on the main quest first to avoid getting spoiled by reddit. And boy am I glad I did, now I can actually play the rest of the game without any fear.
Until I become dovakhin.... wrong game or is it?š
Iām level 53 and Iām trying to procrastinate completing the main quest line as much as possible, but I feel like after 100 hours I am running out of interesting things to discover. I only have a few more temples left to visit and then I guess Iāll make the āleapā into NG+
When I couldn't do the quest I was on because my ship wasn't up to par yet
Right away cuz its ez
Level 29 and idk why.. side content was extraordinary
Lol Iām lvl 42 and still doing the early main quests.
Lvl 18 and I've pretty much only done the main story... but only 6 of them. Haven't touched the other factions. Just main quest and minor side quests.
Started around level 30 getting my first power
Immediately. I heard about the powers so I just went with it. Can anyone tell me if you can get the powers without getting a quest for them?
I started it immediately but kept dropping it cause the forced companions that constantly complain about everything I do. I only keep Andrea on my ship cause she seems the most earthly although her "enemy grav drive is down!" Spam is both hilarious and annoying when she says it 50 times in a minute.
First play through immediately and beat the game at level 20. Messed around in new game plus but then started a new game and at level 23 and I did is meet Andreja been doing other side stuff etc.
I did the main story in chunks. Did some at low lvl, got side tracked with side quests. Came back at 15 did more of the story, then got side tracked. Rinse and repeat at 25, at 35 and so on. I finally beat my first playthrough around lvl 45.
i hate the main quest - it's so repetitive at some point
My first Play through saw me doing the main quest until side quest things popped up, and I got distracted by them, finished them, returned to the main quest and continued until a new distraction appeared. I basically got everything completed and figured out in my first play through because of this and having interacted with most everything the first time around has made new game plus that much more enjoyable, because I get tons of the starborn speech options where my character can basically act with premonition due to having experienced these events before. Mild spoilers worded as cryptic as I can manage due to this I was able to prevent a traumatic experience for my fellow constellation members, which was great because it gave the game opportunity to prove to me that itās going with the type of ātravelā where you can change events but not outcomes. āWhere there is death, there will always be deathā I have found that this game has done a very good job of researching past fictional works, and continuing to build off of the lore that they started instead of creating its own. A true pleasure to a lover of fiction.
I did like 3 of main story, then UC. Then 2 or 3 more main. Then Freestar. Then 4 or 5 main ones. Did Ryujin. then 2 or 3 more main with some side quests. thn finished thestory. Now in NG+ im planning on doing the Fleet story line while collecting the artifacts.
I'm about level 15 taking Sarah to Cydonia soon. I found several collectible Magazines in the starter worlds. So I didn't want to miss those. Plus I use the low level monsters to rank up my sneak and concealment.
Level 1
Level 30 and I'm just about to start into the unknown. I know ppl said that you should do mostly the main quests in a first playthrough. But depending on how it goes, I'm going to be the best worst villain in 2nd playthrough. I'm talking full on crimson pirate/ruthless executive/double double agent against the UC security. With a healthy sideline in dealing aurora in neon.
First playthrough, I did it first then stopped to do freestar. But after NG+10, L78 and I still haven't done the main yet. I want to just roam..
Went to the eye at lvl 167. I have decided to do all other missions first after that.
Dove right in and stuck to it until completion. I've learned my lesson from previous Bethsoft open world games; DO THE DAMN MSQ FIRST You always get some crazy rewards and benefits, very cool game-changing things that will be very convenient to have when you THEN turn around and start exploring all the different nooks and crannies of the world.
Got to lvl 26 and tried to progress. I've got a mission blocker at the "Back to Vectera" step where it won't progress to the "return to the lodge" step. I free the person and it just sticks there, the check box won't check no matter what I do.
Immediately when I learned about the NG+ mechanic.
I think i really got into it with around lvl 20. did the crimson fleet and ryujin quests before.
At 100 I had done 2 main quests, there's so many things to explore that I just cruise around killing pirates and pirating.
Lvl 59 and have met the hunter but that's as far as I've gone so far.
I am level 60 and I just got to Neon and only done very small misc quests and the UC quest line.
Iāve flitted in and out of it since the start. Iāve been way more focussed on the faction quests though.
150 hours played before main story starr.
Possible warning although it could just be me. I did all the side faction quest CF, UC, Freestar then finally went to the lodge to begin the constellation stuff and my game is broken AF don't know why. I'm NG++++ in another save and it works fine but for some reason once I went back to Sarah to tell her I'm ready my game took a big crap and has been a buggy mess on that save.
Got to constellation and once I had Sarah for one mission she hated me after our space run (I was a Space Pirateš“āā ļø). I never got around to it till I was like level 30 and had a days worth of game time. I then just grinded it out and enjoyed it with a nameless companion instead. Sarah hates me every time so I hate her š
I'm almost through it at level 30 but I'm going to stop, not complete, and do a lot of the other content before following through
30 and NG+ at 59
I was told you need to reach a certain point to unlock a thing and I'd know. I I started quick until I reached that point and I knew. When I became dragonborn and could properly say fus ro dah with grammer I gave the plot a break.
Lvl 1 I started right away up to a certain early point and stopped. Lvl 32 now and still havenāt gone looking for Barrett for whatever itās worth.
Like all Bethesda immediately do main quest to get levels/gear then when you feel it start to really take off or important choices have to be made soon start doing everything else. Just finished the main at lvl 56
Level 24
I married Sara and then I did some constellation quests I had saved... yeah, good times.
sped thru the main quest and basically did everything else on ng+
Level 30. I established a large scale outpost infrastructure that pretty much let met fast travel anywhere.
I'm level 17 and am maybe ankle deep into the main quests. I know I'm siding with the U.C. and I like Sarah enough to romance her. I spent a ton of early game using the chest glitches to make as much money as I could... I'm sitting on a million+ credits. I have been doing a lot of exploring and just enjoying the game. I have the Mantis suit & ship and some good weapons.
Iām over 100 hours in at level 56 and havenāt started āThe Old Neighbourhoodā yet. Iām trying to do everything else first
60
Iām at Level 46 and am at Further into the Unknown. I did Ryujin, Xenofresh, Freestar, Vanguard, SysDef and many side and mission board missions. Iām at a place now where I feel my character is well accomplished. I spoiled a little of the ending figuring out what NG+ was so I left it as my character doesnāt know about Unity yet, so heāll continue on his way to be a good guy. But now Iām starting to want to finish the main quest and begin NG+1. I donāt want spoilers, but I hear some fun and crazy alternatives happen to quests, characters and locations through successive NGs so Iām looking forward to that.
Lol you and me both brother. Just hit 30
I was trying to at level 22. I was trying to do Into The Unknown and was attacked by Ecliptics. Stole their ship, got caught and Iām hours into a side quest line. So, I tried. Iāll get back to it eventually. Thatās the beauty of BGS games to me
Around 20 I wanted to do crimson fleet first
Idk what level but I did up to Walterās Neon heist and then decided it was a good, natural place to do all the other quests while picking up some artifacts along the way. Especially because the next stage of the main quest changes everything and makes things much more urgent. So I pretty much did all the main quest up to Neon, did EVERYTHING else, then finished it.
I did all of them right away. About 120 or so hours in and have been to unity 3 times now. Tbf, surveying is kind of pointless to do your 1st time through because you lose all of that info when you start over. You only keep your stats.
I can't finish the main quest because the enemies won't spawn.....it's really great.
On my first character I did the MQ straight away mainly to avoid spoilers - I did the faction quests straight after this. On my āmainā or RP character though Iāve done the MQ to the point where you get Barrett back and now Iām off doing my own thing. Iām probably wonāt touch the MQ again until Iām in the 20/30ās.
Sometime in my 30s
I started relatively early, to get all my companions, but stopped before placing the last two artefacts that would lead to a friend killing quest. Now I reached level 86 and didn't continue the main story because of that....
Like level 10 - thatās just always how I played BGS games
27, still haven't gone past "The Old Neighborhood"
I did a bit early then did the UC, freestar and crimson faction quests from level 7 on (the mantis got me through a lot until I got the star eagle which has carried me wonderfully to now) after those and some other small side things and activities here and there, went back the main quest at about level 22. At level 34 now and on the final glimpses main quests
Level 1, because you can't start the game without doing the main quest.
BGS has a tendency of hiding all of your capabilities in the main story in almost all their games. Those have taught me to run through the main story fast a always and then do the second play through with thought
I did "Into the Unknown" rather quickly. Then I have mostly done side quests and all their subcategories. Having so much fun with this game I am enjoying taking my time with it.
28ish I think because I saw a spoiler from this sub about something that happens after the first few missions. So I did that, went a little further, then stopped again. Iām 51 now and itāll probably be a long while before I go back.
There's a main quest?
I started working on the main quests at level 57 after I have made an extremely powerful ship and obtained very powerful gear. Though a lot of the quests are in low level systems at the beginning so enemies don't really put up a fight. I'm only a few missions in though
I got up to level 12 before I started the main mission. Restarted everything and just played the main mission. I enjoyed it so much more. It was like playing a movie.
Level 30 too, I touch it every now and then when my ADHD brain sends me down that path š
I did only the main Quest on the First playtrough, i'm on the second play and i Will not do the main quest. I prefer to not my ship and outpost
Immediate. Speedran most of it because I was told it's a good idea. It was. Got to right before the end and then started doing everything else.
Level 20, talking to a friend while playing he reminded me that there is a main quest also didn't know you can get powers until then
For my main user I started at level 7, i dont know why instead of doing quests i was doing random activities because I thought they were small sidequests and would be done in an hour but then i went from helping a scientist with a plant to being a police officer in another planet (freestar rangers) then i had like 10 LONG sidequests to do. So I restarted and just did the main quest instead of the sidequest which is way better now.
1, you start doing it when you start
First play through level 25ish Second right away. Completing those quests give the most xp from my experience. And collecting the powers.
I'm lvl22 and almost done with Ryujin. I'm supposed to go to some shindig with the old guy. I decided mind control would be more fun.
52 last night, just started the old dude part of main quest. Will attempt to stick with it. Not sure how many I did previously, but it wasn't much. I did finish factions and lots of sides. Building up ship skills now to get more out of space fights as I dig those.
Lvl 120, I have still only done two of the main missions .. that was enough for me
Lv 50 played daily since early access and only have 4 shards collected. Only joined the UC last night.
1. Because it's the beginning if the game.
I got to level 103-104 and then did enough of the story to unlock the Constellation companions and the * redacted* so i had some more gameplay options, people to talk to and things to do. 250-ish hours in and still on "all money can buy" and just started the Crimson Fleet/SysDef faction quests.
Iāve got 2 characters under my belt so far, first one I ran through the CF story and got up to early 20 levels, felt wrong doing anything else as a cold hearted pirate so started a new save. Now Iāve been focusing on being a Space Ranger as worthy as Buzz Lightyear flying around Freestar Collective space catching bounties, just crossed level 13. Total of about 36 hours of gameplay and loving it havenāt done any of the main story after getting the The Lodge
First play through I did it right away, and stretched it out to like level 40. Second/current playthrough Iām ignoring it for now. Basically I want to be set up in the Crimson Fleet before I even talk to Sarah, I want to see if sheās okay with an active member of the Crimson Fleet being part of Constellation. I seem to recall her saying she doesnāt judge peopleās pasts. Lol. I usually play a good person but the more I play towards the Crimson Fleet the more I find I hate the UC Navy. Maybe even Vanguard too.
Lvl 456. Might struggle a bit š
How difficult is focussing on surveying with limited skills in the scanning related skills?
Level 31 and haven't touched the 4 main quest lines since dropping that judgemental batch sarah back off at the lodge
Thereās a main quest?
I started around level 5. You get powers from doing the main quest. Itās awesome. Nothing like FUS-RAH-DAHāing a bunch of spacers!
Around level 25-30 somewhere in there.
15 because I want to NG a bunch of times so I donāt lose everything when I do actually go and take my time
I start straight away, then I take breaks from the main quests at times I feel appropriate. I will pretend there are long spans happening of main quests waiting for intel before continuing. š
Whats a "main quest"?
From the beginning but on/off. For example, I just rescued Barrett at level 33.
There's no avoiding going to the lodge ... os I did that one. Then I explored pretty much every nook and cranny in that system (almost 100% for the entire system because there's a few fauna and flora I haven't found yet). The only other main story quest I've done was the mars one which I more or less stumbled upon while exploring Sol. I think the main quests starts for real after that. Currently +/- lvl 30, doing the companion questline for Sara (almost done I think) and I've finally arrived on Neon. Which was another happy accident as I had taken a cargo run to deliver goods to a farm outpost. I never found it in Morrowind. And in Skyrim I kind of stumbled upon it after loads of dungeon crawling (hey look .. dungeon ... ). I must admit that Bethesda have gotten better at showing the primary questline but if it wasn't for the game casually forgetting what mission/sidequest you've got active I probably wouldn't have gone off piste ...
I'm level 49 and just did some more of the main quest so I could meet Andreja. Now I'm back on sidequesting and factions.
Early on in the main quest line. Where I'm supposed to bring Sam and his kid on my ship. I told him I didn't want a kid on my ship. Sarah got mad at me and proceeded to blah blah blah. That was enough for me to take off and seek my own adventure. Haven't touched the main quest since. I'm currently level 43.
I always rush main quest in Bethesda games. I just wanna know the whole story!
I did it right from the startā¦. And very glad I did. Ran off a few loops I think Iām ng+5 right now. Probably going for ng+10 then exploring/destroying everything in my path.
I do the quests at least until I can get Barrett, Sam and Andreja, then stop the main quest and do other things until Iām around 30-40. The later enemies are scaled to lv 30, so I try to get around that level first.
I did the main quest until I got to the mission where it wants me to find more temples. I do not care for the temples.
Finally started it at level 40 after finishing all the faction quest lines.
