I was annoyed that the sidequests all unlocked when you accepted an msq that took you away from that location. Should have unlocked with finishing the previous msq, so I wasn't narratively elsewhere already and had to back track to do the side quest but could have done them right at the point between msqs when I was already at the location.

I enjoyed lugging around boxes with Alisae a lot more than running around for yet another part of the Talos.
