I’ve just played for four hours or so without doing any story stuff at all, just exploring.

I’ve actually got ahead of myself, I think, and visited places I’m going to have to return to when the story requires it.

I’ve just got to where I should be, story-wise, though, and I’ve saved. I’ll dig in a bit later, after my eyes have had time to recover from extended screen-staring.

And I hate being really proud of a reciepe I’ve made up only to find it written down somewhere five minutes later.
