I know it's most likely a beginner question but it's what I am I suppose.

For extra context, I generally have about 6-10 hours to spend to game per week and I find I do enjoy the main quest but after spending a couple days only doing that it feels like I'm missing out by ignoring some of the side quests.

I only have 1 charachter so far and it's lvl35 at around the start of ACT2.

Will I lose out on powerlevel if I just try to get through the main quest first for now and look into doing sidequests afterwards? Am I making my life harder if I do sidequests first?

Right now I think I would like to be able to participate in the seasonal with a new class to try out, since it is still an expensive game and I want to feel like I experience more than just one class.

Depends on what you want. I did a lot of side quests on my first character, but I had to because I had the habit of just accepting everything - until I ran into the 20 sidequest cap… This forced me to do side quests when I wanted to continue the main quest, because I would at least want to be able to accept the side quests that are outside & harder to find, if I were to come across them.

On my second character I did exactly that. Just did the main quest and accepted all the side quests that were on my way but away from any waypoint. And I gotta say, the campaign boss fights were so much easier on a lower level. I'm not super sure whether I finish all side quests on that character though. The exp you get for them is typically pretty low and I don't have a need for the herbs or leather packs they give you at this stage anymore either.

So yeah, my recommendation is to focus on the main quests & just pick up stuff you find outside the towns. Do sidequests when your quest book gets too full but otherwise only afterwards.
