I think it’s completely ridiculous that the game tells you you’re about to die in WEEKS and then you’re expected to square that with spending your time farming NCPD scanner missions to buy a nice car or rent a better apartment, like why would V care? It’s awful for roleplaying, I contrived some explanation that my V basically didn’t believe she was going to die, and so spends a couple months just working as a merc until she notices some more symptoms and THEN goes to meet Takamura, but it still felt very dumb.
Red Dead 2 also has urgency issues (in the last three chapters in the game especially), it harms the plot despite it being an all time favorite. I think the best thing is for open world RPGs to have optional main storylines that the player can choose to pursue, but which mostly lack urgency outside of key moments, and have downtime otherwise.
Batman: Arkham City is identical to RDR2 in this regard after Batman is poisoned. The only side mission which organically makes sense for Batman to prioritize is the Mad Hatter one, because it's predicated on Hatter tricking Bruce with a fake cure. But then it doesn't make sense if you wait till after the main storyline is done to complete the mission, because Bruce is already cured.
