I love this game but there is so much to do and so many different ways to play I always feel like I’m going to miss something critical or just really interesting that I almost have anxiety about it.
All I’ll say is the replay value of this game is waaay off the charts
I see that as the opposite of a problem. Play it once and do a lot of things, then you play it again and it’s like 80% a new game? Fuck yes.
Just keep playing and replaying until that new factor goes way down.
I initially had the same worry. The game becomes a lot more enjoyable if you take a hard roleplaying approach: only do what your character would do, not what a completionist good two shoes would do. From early in my first playthrough, I had already decided that I was going to do a few more. So, it doesn't feel like it matters if you really obviously miss some content.
I played through act 1 and then restarted because I wanted to try another build. I thought I had done everything and discovered all I could, but boy was I wrong. Maybe I’m just a noob, but there was so much more I hadn’t discovered in my first run.
