StaceyPowers Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Can you think of any quests that were side quests, but felt like they should be part of the main questline for a game? An example I would give would be the quest about the retirement district in The Outer Worlds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Oh god I don't know. I imagine there are a lot of side missions I'd like to see as part of the main game. For RDR2 for example, some of the strangers have multiple missions, and I kinda wish they included the stranges in more of the main missions. But it's still cool either way. With Skyrim, I remember there being a lot of fun side quests, and I could see many of which being a part of the main story. I couldn't tell you what missions as I haven't played Skyrim in like 5 years now, or probably longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I like games where there isn't really that delineation between side and main quests. For example, quests are clustered around areas and each cluster tells intertwined stories about that area. There might be some overarching quests that span different areas but they are more of adventures or achievements versus a main plot you follow. MUDs have some great concepts that need to be rediscovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 In Horizon Zero Dawn, you want to do the side missions as it can and does unlock character interactions in the main game. There are also side quests like reaching Prince Itanam, Ersa's fate and The Nora's revenge that are a part of the main story as far as I'm concerned.

Some strangers usually have a couple of Missions that are often quite interesting to see it unfold and that could also be a good addition to the main quest or story but as you said it's still okay that way atleast they still form part of the video game.

Scorpion Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 Absolutely! The side quests in *Mass Effect 2*, like Thane's loyalty quest, felt crucial to the story and should’ve been mainline! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 Definitely! The quest "A Scandal in the Family" in The Witcher 3 stands out. It’s a side quest but feels like it could’ve been part of the main storyline, considering how impactful it is for Geralt’s character development and its emotional depth.
