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.
Does it really scale though?? I had a lvl 41 Necro Bone Spear build and made it Lillith but got my ass handed to me like never before…then I looked at the quest and it said Lvl 45+, so I have to go run side quests till I am 45 or so
Some stuff has a minimum level (later act areas), some things are fixed (capstone dungeons?) and some things are scaling but will always be 2 levels above or so (strongholds I think).
So rushing through the game will mean you’ll have to push some levels after finishing the story (or to get through even) to be able to continue any way. You’ll have no or less renown rewards (potion slots/bonus skill levels) but will get the mount sooner.
I preferred getting through the story a little slower but claiming those rewards at least in some regions and never being under level for campaign stuff. Finished the campaign just over lvl 50, so pretty much right on the mark.>
I think the quests always scale with you, so Lilith will always be 4 levels above whatever level you’re at.
