This is called playing it right.
He’s having fun.
Whoever made the meme is playing it right too. It’s fun to laugh about Zelda stuck in a freaky womb nose-to-nose with Dark Beast Ganon for 100 years when you’re on your way to the Korok Forrest to claim Hestu’s Gift.
I refuse to do main quests until I literally have no other choice.
This is why I never completed the main story in Skyrim. Too much other stuff to do. 😆
This happened to me a handful of times with Red Dead Redemption 2. Hunting, wagon stealing, and stealth murdering in that game was super fun. Hell, even some of the side quest lines were more fun than where I was at in the main quest line.
Still never found the serial killer though
If it looks stupid but it works … it isn’t stupid

The witcher?
What I’m referencing with the title? Absolutely. Couldn’t get into the games personally but the side quest about the lady and her pan cracks me up.
Sometimes the side quests feel less forced than the main quests, so I tend to enjoy that about them.
