Giving the game a second chance but

Hi all. Decided to try this game another way but don’t wanna go through the long intro/tutorial before i asked this: Since the main questline is full of bugs and annoyances, and the big towns has really poor framerates, would it be possible to just ignore the main story, and play RP that Henry just ran away to try his luck in the smaller villages as a vagabondish guy. Take odd jobs at inns, help folk with sidequests and such? If that is possible i might actually play it that way until WH fixes performance and bugs. What i am asking is, does the game have enough side content to support that playstyle?
