I'm about 60 hours into DS2 and still on Chapter 8 because I keep taking long breaks from the campaign to do side work.  After I heard about the Bokka, I went back to Mexico to start maxing out all the deliveries for clients I left behind or never started like the Artist and am getting so much more useful gear like silence pistols, trekking boots and the like.  The game does a really good job of incentivizing you to actively explore and find lost cargo for clients you won't meet on the way normally because each one has been providing really useful tools and weapons that are also really fun to use.

This is one of those games where I'm in absolutely no hurry to reach the finish since everything feeds into itself so well.  I wanna see more of the world and rank up with more clients which in turn, helps me become more well equipped for harsher deliveries and gives me more options for stealth and direct combat when fighting enemies.

I'm 50hrs in and only just into chapter 9 myself. Agree completely that it definitely incentives you to go back and do bigger standard orders or lost cargo as some of the stuff you get is so good. I'm actually at 5 stars with the vast majority of clients and it's not necessarily me just being a completionist. Haven't gone back to Mexico yet as I do actually want to finish the game at some stage but maybe down the line I will (although for all I know I'll have to anyway as part of the story at some stage, part of me is expecting it).

Only thing I'll say that is a bit of a problem is that I feel like there is just so much stuff to use that I feel like I'm missing out. I simply can't try and use everything or I literally will never finish the game so I have to pick and choose what I am going to try and what I'm not.
