It’s a funny feeling running around in this world, especially while levelling. The intent is that we are heroes going around helping people.
However, I find that I run around waiting for problems. If everything is peaceful, I don’t stand there and think, wow what a beautiful place. It’s so great that all these people are living in harmony. Instead I run by shouting “Where are the events?” I want those bandits to come and burn this farm down so I can kill them!
Point being, I actively want bad things to happen so I have something to do, and that doesn’t seem very hero-like.
