What are your best side quests?

[Zeev]

I want to finish as much side content as possible before finishing the game, and I also understand that many of them will be auto completed before some late main mission, but I am not sure I will have time for all of them.

So what are your top 5 or maybe even 10 side quests that you have to complete before finishing the game?

top as in the content of the quests or quests you have to complete(will fail otherwise) before finishing the game?
my top 5:
1. The Fifth Commandment (Damn good performance Katherine's actress)
2. Ars Dimicatoria (to unlock tournament although it's buggy atm)
3. Troubadours (just because of the song)
4. Invaders and A Good Scrub(kinda similar silly quest)
5. The Thunderstone(for the stone)

Thanks for the list.
I meant the content, to not miss great quests.

The popinjay miners' competiton.
I have repeated it over and over till the point I got a stockholm syndrome where from hate I started to love it.
Only to learn later that the achievement is bugged and is not as written but you get it from master competition with Kubyenka. Well, due to mastering xbows in the sidequest (not ingame skill, but player skill), got it instantly. 😂

Two sidequests require you to visit Kuttenberg knacker.
If you explore his house thoroughly, you'll find awsome charms in his chest one of which is erection+2. I cannot confirm nor deny if it's the reason bath houses wenches are always very happy with me. 😎

Another, not a written sidequest but POI called abandoned poacher camp on the first map. You grab the bow there and talk to the huntsman drunkard who'll recognize the bow and you'll learn who was that pacher. By talking to the poacher about it, apart form other stuff he can train you, you get also marksmanship XP!

Then I must add the post sidequest activity from the guy you helped steal several items in a village then gave them all to him.
You can get them all back in Kutenberg at places he sold them and keep the boots for yourself (if you want to, these are the best stealth boots in the game) and return the rest or everything to cpt Frenzl (Suchdol).

Finally, not a sidequest but POI again.
Fake schematics for a certain sword sold everywhere and reported as bug numerous times.
Until you plunder the bandits camp SE from Kuttenberg and find the correct schematics finding out the hard way you were previously scammed by bohemians.
Hopefully devs do not change this.

Yeah, to be honest I love all the side quests, but that one has tons of humor and different activities inside (stealth underwear, unarmed combat, carrying a person to train strength, etc) so it should be in some top10 sidequests definetly.
The oath choices are too crazy and so similar, easy to fail! 🤣

I don't mean the shortsword, but xbows competition that comes after it and you gain a miners' cap as a bonus reward (not that you'll ever need it, unless it is required in one of 3 upcoming DLCs).

[heartnetsky]

yeaa that oath choice is like what the heck was anton saying feels like deciphering a code lol
btw there's also 1 more I'd like to add ahh I forgot what's the damn quest name. there's this 1 quest where I just dropped down into the mines and got all my equipment stolen and there's this 1 knight guarding the mines and got like 6 documents scattered saying that he's guarding demons inside this mine (not that it was hard to take him down or anything) but the quest's story and ending is quite something

[Tenchuu Khan]

Hmmm
Serial Killer
Demon in the Mines

Those were absolutely top.
