"Quick! A giant meteor is heading for our planet! Collision is expected in less than a week!"

...but if I sleep 7 times while doing all this level grinding and doing sidequests, nothing goes wrong...

    That's a quirk of the medium I've learned to accept. Some games do it well by having chunks of "on-rails" bits and others of "free-roam" based on what's happening in the story so that it makes more sense.

    You're completely right of course, but I'll say it bugs me too at times. I was always able to forgive it but as we got more advanced visually it bugged me more. Then finally in Oblivion it was too much for me. I still love and respect the game, but it actively bugs me there are portals around the world that are just waiting for me to decide I want to fight. I know it's dumb, but it is what it is.
