as has been said above, don't get involved in the main plot if you can help it. it goes nowhere, has very little impact on anything, and we as players cannot affect it in any meaningful way. the gods are nonentities and 90% of the game doesn't even give a shit about the god war anymore.

avoid bloody bones-related anything. you'll be better off for it.

tag out a lot, try to build a circle of CR and play out your own story arcs with them. if you do that and treat the game as a sandbox, it can be pretty fun.
