This is one of the more grindy games to play by yourself, but it's still possible. If you fell in love with the grind in Bethesda's other RPGs, you'll get along just fine. Lost Ark is one of those ...

it had felt equally grindy and pointless. I was upgrading my skills and doing bounties, but for what? And then I got to the boss fight. I know how long an RPG is. I know this isn't the end.
