The whole interrupting your story so that you can grind out 70% of your level to get to the next story quest is really annoying. Especially at my level since the whole main story quest to organise a feast while I have to gather information on a primal makes me feel like it's a standard fetch quest and currently not my favorite part of the main story. Maybe I am too initiated in the story and feel like my character would feel in the world "annoyed" But still.

Edit: Sorry this was posted before I saw the replies.

I am guessing that the endgame policies are implemented in the beginning in this game. As a new player doing every side thing you can to just progress the story feels very strange.
