me: to really understand the tragedy Maximus bears throughout Gladiator, we have to take into account the fact that his entire worldview is based on the idea that Marcus Aurelius was a good man and that everything Maximus had done up until that point was in the service of an empire whose values he could trust and support. I would even argue that, excluding the loss of his wife and son, the greatest loss Maximus has to grapple with is the loss of his unswerving belief in the goodness of Rome. once he sees its corruption and becomes its victim, he has to reevaluate everything he's ever done and believed in, which affects not only his desire to free Rome from tyranny but also—

the burglar who broke into my house: his guilt about his role in the fate of Rome and his service to a man who was indirectly the cause of all this corruption?

me: exactly. now,

ive seen a lot of people ask

"when do i do what i want?"

WHENEVER YOU GOD DANG WANT!

ahem

unlike the first game that had those like "down time" moments after story (like when u'd have a few butterfly quests to do after getting a new area or something) theres no real indication when you can run off from the story

and if you're like me you might just end up focusing the story

but really you can forget edward's princess peach act and do whatever whenever, some suggest around the time you gain access to the open world (i think thats around chapter 3?)

advice is to stop and work on ranking up lives as you unlock each new island in the past

you can also just go and explore Ginormosia whenever you want, tho i suggest to maybe be in the 20s-30s for a comfortable time

also if you plan on doing shrines to be careful as after your 3rd shrine cleared you'll be given a VERY spoiler heavy cutscene that if you care about the story you won't really have context for until like chapter 6 (theres 7 of them so uh yeah)

but if u dont care go nuts

well that's just a lie

I acknowledge that the side quests are likely important or at least good to do to raise faction strength, but a bitch is struggling. i am but a small, easily prone to motion sickness, directionally challenged person. what do you mean the quest marker that i feel like i am directly on top of is on another level and there are no ladders? Bioware please. please don't do this to me. again. i will just stick to the main quest and the "go fight the demon or the champion in [location] quests" and get my ass handed to me if i can't figure these out and then i'll cry if i get a bad ending. because that is apparently something that is possible in this game and thus a new fear
