Right, I did. That's the problem with the game. They put the fights there, and there's no reason to participate in them so I didn't. Then they put loot around the map, but there's no reason to go find it so I didn't. They put story around the map, but there's really not much reason to go find it so I wish I hadn't.

There's really nothing in either of these games that actually feels productive to do aside from walking into the final boss room and smacking the final boss to death with a variety of funny sticks. Everything else is chores.
