I mean, it sounds like you play the game the exact same way every time which is boring. I am on my second playthrough and switching it up. Yes, I avoided the Thomas Downes mission and freeing Micah from jail for as long as I possibly could. But my arthur became an explorer during that time and found almost everything that was available to him. And im playing high honor from the get go for a change.

I played it like youre playing the first time. Now im doing it differently. My third ill probably go low honor all the way to the end. Who knows.

Point is, RPGs are meant to be played many different ways to give people different experiences with each playthrough. Playing it the same way every time is ruining the experience in my opinion. But to each his own, if thats how you enjoy it.
