I’m still rather early on, but I agree. The exorcism side quests are my favorites so far. They didn’t shy away from meaningfully impacting a main hub, which I appreciated, and you feel like you’re doing something meaningful versus a simple exchange of time for experience/gold. It must’ve been a complete pain in the ass to design, though.
My only real problem with Mastodon is its presentation of material. Never really liked Twitter, didn’t like the individual focus. This? I like. Interests are abstracted from the individual.
