    You guys played Stardew Valley? :whew:

    Highly recommend. I know Harvest Moon has nostalgia factor but Stardew is a much better Harvest Moon than any new Harvest Moon game to come out in the past years. It's pretty in depth.. only problem some might have is the graphic style since it's not 3D but I prefer this cause it has charm

    skyrim is a garbage game but d--- if some of the side quests aren't comfy as h---
    same as most bethesda games the real joy is from the side quests

    witcher 3 and it's DLCs have gr8 side quests too

    was typing a post before you posted this but witcher 3s side quests are great. i love games where you can go down a tunnel of a side quest and get lost in them. new vegas and skyrim are good at that. dark brotherhood questline in skyrim is gr8

    i love dark mysterious s---, so i also enjoyed the serial killer side quest in GTA 5 where you find the confession letter scraps and confront the killer. stuff like that's great.

    Witcher 3s 2nd expansion has an area where, depending on your choices you can go into a story book world and find a bunch of side quests and hidden things like that relating to old fairy tales and stuff. gr8 game and the expansions are arguably even better.


    my bad if all of these were already posted tho i replied before reading the thread fully

    Doing side missions as Jack Marston is comfy too he gets his own voice acting and everything and adds like a story for Jack. Extends the game a bit. The game being Red Dead Redemption ofc.

    Zelda Majoras mask is built around immersive sidequests and side characters part of why it's my favorite game of all time, has real payoff and rewards too. Baldurs Gate 2, Bravely Default, Zelda Windwaker (Pretty much all Zelda games are filled with side content) Assassins Creed 4, LA Noire, Borderlands 2, Final Fantasy 12 and the obvious games like Elder Scrolls are all great side question/content games.

    Special shoutout to Baldurs Gate 2 and Majoras Mask though

    Nah you're good even more contributions are great. Seems like Bethesda is based on side quest really and can just put 10 story missions in a game with 100 hours of content. I went on the mountain of GTA 5 to see the lady's ghost, I did little taxi jobs, and I did this alien mission with UFOs. Some companies really care about their unlike others

    @Final just read thru the thread and saw u said u have ancient armor/master sword in BOTW

    is it true what they were saying how you can go to the final boss from the jump? like since u got the good armor and sword are you able to go beat the game now and bypass the story? or is it the bethesda marketing strategy where they're like "you can GO to the final boss" then when people complain that you can't beat the game that quick they say "we just said u can go there we didn't say you could fight him"

    It's true, you can go straight to Hyrule Castle as soon as you leave Great Plateau and go fight final boss with 3 hearts. Obviously you will die a lot on the way there unless you know the game well because it's littered with moving guardians and then Hyrule Castle itself is going to be a challenge but it is in fact possible to fight final boss within the first hour of the game. I could go try it right now but from what the main quest has told me, you weaken the final boss by completing the dungeons and the master sword itself does bonus damage on evil monsters like the final boss, so there are certain things that make it easier. I can't imagine beating him with a wooden stick so.. it's not a lie you just probably won't defeat him

    The most buggy and glitchy games are produced by them crazily enough

    and the all look like games from 5 years before their release date, have awful physics and usually terrible stories


    also watch dogs 2 is f---ing cancer with the worst story and characters i can imagine existing in any media ever, but some of the side quests are cool when you uncover them. i remember watch dogs 1 having a serial killer side quest too where you'd come across some ritual murder sites and altars and s--- but i think i dropped wd1 before finishing that questline
