Not gonna lie, I skip all the cutscenes and don't read quests. I find the story boring and have no interest in it. Regardless, I still did all the random quests I had to do to get into HW without complaining because thats just how it works in this game.

A lot of the content is gated behind the MSQ, if you're not used to it by now, welp.. I dunno what to tell you.
