“Go on main character. You can take your time to help people by fetching granny’s spoons to finish up cooking her family recipe. Don’t worry, the main villain won’t start the blood ritual and conduct human sacrifices yet to consume the world and take power, until you return to the arbitrary main quest lines, such as the king waiting for you on his throne to personally order you to save the world. He’s been sitting in the throne room for two years now since you escaped prison and the army of main villain’s ghouls attacked and ate thousands of civilians.”
