When is it ok to ignore Main Quests
Finally found time to play this game, have been looking forward to it since it came out! Downloaded and started yesterday, currently very early and doing the first trip to Hogsmeade mission.
Normally my preference with open world games are to basically ignore the main quests, level up with side quests and other achievements to increase XP, explore the entire area, etc.. Afterwards I like to finish with the Main quest items.
However, I’ve been told that this strategy may not be as attainable with this game, with many of the side quests and/or ways to improve are linked to spells that need to be obtained via main quests. So my question is this: At what point in the main quest is it best to venture off and complete as much as I can before coming back to wrap up the main quest? I’ve heard that I should AT LEAST stay on the Main Quest up to finding the room of requirement. But I welcome any other opinions/suggestions on this!
