So I had a sad yesterday because 1) I want to do everything, but 2) I have a huge pile of sidequests, and 3) I can really, incredibly easily, spend an entire night doing just a handful of sidequests and not advancing the plot, but 4) I have like two other games to play after I'm done with this one! Which, at my current rate of progress because of items 1-3, will be in 2015.

So I told myself I would compromise. I would do a night of dicking around on sidequests, and then a night of advancing the plot, etc.
