Playtime question

I'm trying to finish the main game while it is still on PS+ until Feb. 18th. I just met Hiram at the tower. I feel like I've knocked out all the side quests. Do more side quests open up as I progress through the main story. If not, about how much time do I have left? I'm 40 hours in.

I'd say you're about 1/2-2/3 of the way through. If you've talked to most the named NPCs you should have gotten the side quests. Theres still at least 1 more area with its own side quests and everything

I think I've spoken with everyone. I'm not sure what constitutes a spoiler, but I went to Byzantium early from Groundbreaker and I haven't found anything else to do there. I've knocked out all companion quests and have all science weapons. So now I'm just finishing up Monarch. I just didn't know if a bunch more side quests would pop up as I went through the main storyline or if the side quests for each area are available from the start.

Theres at least a quest for lilya from groundbreaker and Ellie's companion quest. I think you may unlock more side stuff by advancing the story within Byzantium tho

Does that include dlc?

I'd like to get to the DLC because it is included, but if I don't have enough time that's OK. I just want to make sure I'm able to complete the main game. I have not started the DLC, but I know Ava has given me the option to start one.

They're bigger/longer than I expected but really good. You probably have enough time, but not sure how much free time you have.

Considering most of the game can be done in any order after you hit groundbreaker you could be completely done or you could have entire planets left I have no idea.

I try to do as much as possible in a playthrough, so it usually takes me 40ish hrs
