I'm digging this game. Don't grind the story right off the bat. Explore everywhere you are able to go (and where there isn't skulled zombies)) as there's some great hidden gems for your character(s).
Same here. I grinded the story to nearly the halfway point I believe (like 12/24 quests probably completed) just to open a few different parts of the city but have stopped now and am just gonna grind side quests and lost and found quests for a while.
Such an enjoyable game, it's really a lot like the old one and exactly what I was hoping it'd be. So much fun. Only complaint is I can tell the main missions aren't gonna last too long especially if I'm already halfway done. Seems like plenty of side stuff to do though which is good, and also some replayability since the characters you can play as are so different personality wise
