Your probably right Nutlaw, I should just dive in and enjoy it

Not really any particular issue that I'm waiting for, except the ones I submitted and are still open

They aren't that big either. I guess I'm overthinking it largely because I'm more concerned what other players have already discovered that I haven't yet and that someday after investing a lot of time, I'll hit one of those issues and it might be something that bothers me too much to continue.
Yeah, probably spending too much time thinking what could happen versus just enjoying the game
