Sounds like the average AC experience, haha. Yeah man, I'm the exact same way with side quests. I basically roughly make my way in the direction of the next main quest, and will tackle any gold, blue or white icons that happen to pop up in that general direction along the way. And I won't move on to the next shire until all those glowing icons have been conquered (save for bosses/animals too levelled up for me yet). Makes for a long game for sure.
I really like this one, and there's lots of improvements in many areas over the past couple AC games...but for some reason I haven't cracked out on it the way I did Origins/Odyssey. Even on weekends I find my average session for the day to be about 2-3 hrs max, whereas I could play the other 2 basically all day.
I think part of it is AC just happened to cover my top 2 alltime favourite historical periods in back to back games (ancient Greece, ancient Egypt), whereas I've never been overly interested by vikings or their lore. But maybe it's something else too?
