I know it’s most likely a beginner question but it’s what I am I suppose.
For extra context, I generally have about 6-10 hours to spend to game per week and I find I do enjoy the main quest but after spending a couple days only doing that it feels like I’m missing out by ignoring some of the side quests.
I only have 1 charachter so far and it’s lvl35 at around the start of ACT2.
Will I lose out on powerlevel if I just try to get through the main quest first for now and look into doing sidequests afterwards? Am I making my life harder if I do sidequests first?
Right now I think I would like to be able to participate in the seasonal with a new class to try out, since it is still an expensive game and I want to feel like I experience more than just one class.
The side quests aren’t going anywhere. There are way too many to do. Enjoy them for the lore – some of them make the game world feel more alive and fleshed out. Okay whatever part you enjoy the most. Even the story is structured so you can skip lore by powering through vs look at the side nooks and crannies for journals and paintings.

I have limited time so this is the approach I took. I’m now going back and doing quests, events, and clearing dungeons that I missed.
I hit lvl 50 before act 3 and I wish I would’ve done more of the main story first.
The horse is a game changer and I would’ve saved a lot of time.
I would blast through the main story and save the side quests for later.
Ok, I guess I’ll go that route, are there downside to doing this, even minor ones?
I ended up under leveled for the campaign and had to go back and do some side quests. But not a big deal.
You will be under levelled in the later acts and need to push a few levels to continue (if not for the story then to do the capstone dungeon to get to the higher difficulty level). Doing a few side quests to get those first few renown rewards at least in some regions will give a more balanced experience in my opinion (plus more potions/skills, which helps).
What are capstone dungeons? And indeed, the renown I need to get to a base level for sure, and the Lilith statues I need to activate when I see them.
Those are dungeons you need to complete to unlock new stuff. After the campaign there is a lvl 50 one unlocking wt3 (nightmare difficulty) which is where all the end game stuff starts and there is another one at lvl 70 for wt4 (hell?)
I’m level 55 and just finished Act 2. I’ve basically 100 percented the first two map regions, except for the dungeons. I’ve personally enjoyed playing this way. However, I’m going to power through the story now.
