Theory
Thank you for reading and I hope this guide has helped you. I just wanted to go ahead and post this at the bottom for anyone interested in discussing it.
So I have had a theory since the game came out. Obviously some areas are easier and some harder but with how much you can access at any time, it's very easy to go into very difficult places early and easy places when you're high level. Because of this, I believe that there is an "intended" order to do everything in. If true, that would mean that there is an order of operations to play the game in where you would play it almost like a semi-linear story. This idea already had evidence in the fact that certain NPCs had their questlines break or forcefully progress when you'd made it to a certain area of the game or done a certain task but in an open-world game with extremely little direction given, it's basically impossible to know for sure what order you're supposed to do everything in....or is it? In making this guide, I discovered that the order of the Cookbooks more or less follow the order of areas to go to at what time. In fact, the order tells an extremely efficient route for NPCs and story as well to avoid breaking anything. So it is my belief that if you follow the game's "intended" route, something will change somewhere and some of the mysteries of the game may be solved. This is still just speculation but I think the Cookbooks are the final piece of the puzzle to put the story together into a solid piece.
