Ahem! I will also be walking around most of the time without doing any main missions, its my style. I first get ALL the items, points, money before going any further in the storyline. Its worth it! I mean in ACR I got the full-stat armour immediately and that pretty much made all other armour useless un til I got Ishak Pasha one. By just randomly walking around and looting and exploring, one can gain an advantage in games. I mean, just yesterday I was doing a quest and realized that the item I needed was in a highly defended zone that you usually have to work hard to get through, then I remembered something and looked at my bank, to find I HAD THE ITEM ALL ALONG!!! It seems I had by obsession picked up the item when I had passed through the danger zone once before cause it looked nice and stored it in the bank. Oh...the irony....
