Sure - I’ll play em if I happen across one, but I only really seek out sidequests and missions. Read more

Hah naw, I’m trying to say something more specific there - if you want to level up quickly, only focus on side missions (like, the mission type is actually called a “side mission,” I don’t mean sidequests as an abstract concept) and main missions, as opposed to the other optional stuff you’ll see on your map.
