Damn you know Dale is hardcore when he does all the side quests and manages to finish in under 30 hours.

There being no endgame dungeon or superbosses is definitely a negative. Hopefully future installments don't do this. Also the sidequest seems to be like most games, fetch quest and speak to people. Combat is fun though
