But there were a few areas that I will definitely say that I got impatient at and I just didn't feel like doing it, especially at the end of a 12-hour gaming session on a Saturday. Let me give you a few examples. Some of the hunting missions were just obnoxious, trying to keep everything from spooling when you first started learning how to hunt. I really, even to this day, don't like the bow and arrow not having a reticle. It was really obnoxious not being able to see where you're shooting. I get it, it's for realism, but I still would have rather had one just because I'm used to it. I got used to it as I played. Even though I had leveled up everything, I still, more often than not, would miss. I got to the point where I got pretty good at it but at the end there I was just relying on my dog to hunt everything. Anytime I needed to hunt I would just rely on my dog. As I got further in the game I spent a lot of time with the bow and arrow when I started finally getting it but it took me a lot of the game to get to that point. Another thing that annoyed me probably annoyed me more than it should have. Again I was about 180 to 200 hours into the game. I wasn't really necessarily trying to quickly beat it but I was getting to the point where I was ready to finish the game just because of how much time I had put in. Again I'm not a stranger to open-world games. I can put some major time into games. I was like 800 hours into Morrowind when I played it, among others. It was like 150 into Crimson Desert but that's beside the point. When I got to the monster I got really annoyed and I didn't really feel like walking through all their stupid rules so I ended up finally giving up on it, going in there and slitting his throat in the middle of the night. I did two saves because I did want to play through the monastery so I'll go back later and do the monastery correctly so I can get the achievement for it. The first time I played it I just didn't feel like messing with the monastery. I went in and I got about halfway through it. I started getting the pages. I started unlocking the quests inside of it. My biggest issue was that I didn't feel like following their routine while trying to also do the quests. If you did it right every day you have to go to mass, then you have to go to lunch, and then you have to go to work. You can only fit in the quest stuff in between all of that stuff, a little here, a little there, at the end of the day. If I had done it the slow and patient way, it would have taken me about 4 to 6 days of following their routine to get everything done. I just didn't feel like it because I was at a point where I was in the last stretch of the game. And I was pretty much ready to finish it at that point. I was at the very end and I was ready to beat it. I was kind of in that last flow where I just finish up the whole game. After I got caught twice by the dude and expelled, I got mad. I went ahead and got all my shit back. Fun fact: it's better if you sell whatever you don't want near the end of the game and just put your gear in your chest at the Miller's house before you go into the monastery. That chest you drop your stuff off at can glitch sometimes but that's beside the point. Anyway I ended up getting tired of it so I went and snuck into the monastery and snuck upstairs. I strangled him in his sleep. I executed him while he was sleeping by choking him to death, stole all of his stuff, and left. On my way out I saw like 10 guards running through the building. After he had been reported dead they just ran right past me. I left the monastery and then went and turned in the mission and I felt like a damn assassin. It was cool as hell. I preferred doing it that way to be honest.
