What is life? It’s a game, it’s mostly single player. There are NPCs that you need to collaborate, live with and protect. They help you to unlock new quests and hidden contents. But remember it’s single player game. And a game. Don’t take it too seriously. There’s no ultimate goal. A bigger divine plan or an after-life ( a sequel?). Most importantly you have one life, use it wisely. Make the most out of it, don’t get hung up being the average Joe.
