Yeah I didn't get the day off but I did get to sit at the kitchen table in track pants and an old shirt and I didn' have to make the 40 kilometre return trip so those are all bonuses.
PQ definitely makes more sense if you have completed 3 and 4. I haven't totally finished 3 because I got depressed at the beginning of the epilog (FES version) and stopped playing. I did finish the main story though.
