Dev team, please do not remove the importance of the MSQ

So the story is only relevant for you if stuff is locked behind it and the game forces you to do it? Thats pretty weird don't you think?

A story is always relevant if you care for it and not just because the game forces you to play each and every single MSQ.

When the story is disconnected from the game, then it's not relevant to the game, it's just part of it. They're called side quest stories, not the main story of the game.
