Advice from someone who's on a second playthrough. Help.

So I'm a little over halfway done the main story. I've kept most of my side missions in the ill do them later part of my brain. So I have to ask the people who have already beat the story. Do you wish you would of saved side missions so you had a little something more to do while playing the second time through?

Right now I'm doing a side quest here and there and I thought I may save about half of them for my second playthrough. Is this something you wish you would of done or does it not really matter? Oh and mods from the missions mean nothing to me so don't factor in that to your answer.

Nope, the side missions were tedious and trivial and only useful for getting some mods, not advancing the story any. Once you do them all, you'll be glad they're done.

That's exactly why I want to break them up. Lol. I'm getting bored quick with them.

You'll get more annoyed and bored with them if you have to deal with them again during the second play through, believe me.

Are you sure you dont lose them when you restart the game? I had all mine done before restarting?

The ones you didn't complete unlock again when you complete the corresponding mission that unlocked them during your first play through.

I cannot even think about doing them all at once. I'd burn the game by the end.

I kinda wish they would unlock with your second playthrough. even if you already did them! The mods for easy missions were nice!

Just my opinion, but I think the best way to do the side missions is as they open up. Every time you complete a step of the storyline missions, roughly 3-4 side missions open up. Complete those and then do the next storyline mission. I also complete the challenges in the same area as the missions take me.

By mixing it up like this it really feels like the content is being stretched out, including the storyline (which, honestly, you'll probably be wishing you strung along as long as possible). Also, those side missions do often provide more details and history about the area you're adventuring through. I think that ultimately enhances the appreciation for the main storyline.

As they are often not as fun as the storyline missions, I couldn't imagine doing them all at the end after the main storyline is complete. That would get pretty boring quickly.
