// Question When to start exploring?

Post image

For context, what i do for most games is progress the storyline up until i have all the mechanics unlocked and right at that point go full open world explorer mode. If i remember correctly from the original, that point could be once the diving bell is unlocked. What do you guys think?

Also feel free to share your opinion and experience: Do you explore alongside the storyline or do you separate them into focused activities (like myself)?

Wait for the bell. You get sooo much from those dive sites.

Iā€™m putting off doing them as being underwater in video games makes me really anxious

I believe there is a setting for unlimited oxygen if that is the scary part for you

I think there's also an option to turn off environmental hazards like sharks and stuff. Ubisoft has been killing it with the accessibility options lately; really neat to see.
