Can you raid without completing story missions?

Typically, you can't. The story in a game often acts as a key to unlock new areas, and Path of Fire is likely no exception. It's designed to be part of the sequential experience, so without the story, you're not likely to find a legitimate way in.

You could focus on exploring the open world, finding hidden locations and collectibles.

😋I recommend the following three novels to you: 1. " King of Glory: The Defiant Origin System ": A game-game system novel. The protagonist transmigrated to King's Continent and obtained the Defiant Origin System and a big gift bag. He obtained rewards by completing various missions and finally became an invincible ruler. 2. " National Mission ": Fantasy-Oriental fantasy novel. All humans have a mission system. Completing the mission can obtain rewards. The protagonist improves himself by completing the mission. 3. [Lifestyle Player]: A novel about supernatural powers in the city. The protagonist becomes a Lifestyle player and obtains task points by completing missions to level up and exchange for rewards. I hope you like the above recommendations. If you like it, you can ask me for a book list again.😊

After the story missions, you could focus on building your character's skills, customizing your equipment, or joining posses to tackle challenging cooperative tasks. There's also the option to discover hidden locations and unlock secret achievements.

Yes, you can start the DLC at any time, even before finishing the main story.

Yes. The game allows you to jump into Phantom Liberty regardless of your progress in the main story. This gives players the flexibility to experience the new content whenever they want, whether they are in the middle of the main story, just starting, or have already completed it.

Yes.

Yes, you can do Eureka in FFXI without having completed the main story. However, you may face some challenges as certain aspects of Eureka might be designed with the assumption that players have a general understanding of the game's mechanics and world, which are often introduced through the main story.

I recommend the two novels "I'm a Bad Person" and "Quest Seeker" to you! They were all novels about time travel, and the protagonists needed to complete missions in different time and space. Among them, the protagonist of "I'm a Bad Person", Chu Xiao, woke up in a future technological world and became a transmigrator. At the same time, she investigated her own background. In "I'm a Bad Person", Mo Jiang was born from the spirit of heaven and earth. By chance, he gained intelligence. In order to repay his kindness, he traveled to many planes, experienced the coldness and warmth of human feelings, and became a mission. These two novels have many different planes and worlds that can satisfy your transmigration interest. I hope you like my recommendation, muah ~

Yes, indeed. In Red Dead 2, the side missions don't disappear once you've completed the main story. There are many reasons for this. Firstly, it adds to the game's replayability. Secondly, it gives players a chance to fully explore the game's rich world and lore. You can interact with different characters and get involved in various scenarios that you might have overlooked during the main story. So, don't worry, there's still a lot to do in terms of side missions even after you've seen the main story through.
