So you basically "had a blast" for about an hour? The fishing is prompted really early, and not to long after that is a few different things that require it o.o

I played for about 7-8 hours I think. At one point in story there is an event where someone steals from the market and I have to compensate the items that was stolen from people. In that quest I have to bring back a total of 6 fishes to the girl that buys fishes from me. I managed to get 4 of them but the last 2 fishes are located in the lake area, and I can not get those fishes unless I had invested xp in my fishing skills. At that point that game becomes a huge grind.
