I know it’s most likely a beginner question but it’s what I am I suppose.
For extra context, I generally have about 6-10 hours to spend to game per week and I find I do enjoy the main quest but after spending a couple days only doing that it feels like I’m missing out by ignoring some of the side quests.
I only have 1 charachter so far and it’s lvl35 at around the start of ACT2.
Will I lose out on powerlevel if I just try to get through the main quest first for now and look into doing sidequests afterwards? Am I making my life harder if I do sidequests first?
Right now I think I would like to be able to participate in the seasonal with a new class to try out, since it is still an expensive game and I want to feel like I experience more than just one class.
You will be under levelled in the later acts and need to push a few levels to continue (if not for the story then to do the capstone dungeon to get to the higher difficulty level). Doing a few side quests to get those first few renown rewards at least in some regions will give a more balanced experience in my opinion (plus more potions/skills, which helps).
What are capstone dungeons? And indeed, the renown I need to get to a base level for sure, and the Lilith statues I need to activate when I see them.
Those are dungeons you need to complete to unlock new stuff. After the campaign there is a lvl 50 one unlocking wt3 (nightmare difficulty) which is where all the end game stuff starts and there is another one at lvl 70 for wt4 (hell?)
