Not going to spoil anything, just wanted to let any prospective players know about this realization.
I was playing the game very leisurely, as I do with all games of this ilk. Trying to clean up every little nook and cranny of side stuff while slowly making my way through the main quest. Doing this, I started feeling fatigued with the "world" of the game, as it wasn't doing much to interest me. It came off as very derivative of past games.
The main quest, specifically up to the mission "Deep Secrets of the Earth", recontextualizes everything about the world in some interesting ways, making me view everything I've seen so far in a more positive light (I spoiler blocked the quest name just in case, but it isn't spoilery at all). Before I felt I was getting burned out, and now I feel like I might platinum the game.
If you have to level up to meet level recommendations, by all means do side stuff. Tallnecks, cauldrons, and hunting grounds should be good for this. Besides that, make a beeline for the main quest.
