After being on some weird-ass sidequests (that looked SUSPICIOUSLY like my main quest...), it's definitely felt like a re-awakening to get back on track and start to feel like I'm finally thriving than just surviving. I've definitely gained lessons from those sidequests (and some equipment?) that are still helpful to my main quest today - though of course, I wouldn'tve known it at the time.
Although I do want to make the most of my time before "game over", I'm no stranger to knowing that any random roll of the dice can upend everything at any moment. So why not plow forward and do what I can to reach my version of "success"? (Before the T-virus gets developed, or a strange meteorite hits a hill above my hometown, or an esper breaks free, or a narrator starts describing my every move, or I wake up in the back of a cart, or ... )
Yes!! Great to hear and proud of you 😊 Super weird how those side quests end up helping us, but I wonder if we're ever "off-track" to begin with. Sometimes, what we perceive as our main quest needs to take a back seat as we explore other options based on our evolving needs.
