Love the game but my goodness the side quests are beyond bland.

[ChubbiChibbai]

I started to do a few thinking they might flesh out the characters or story and even unlock some nice stuff.

Nope. They are just incredibly bland.

What on earth were they thinking here?

This is much appreciated. I have gotten to the first "point of no return" at Oriflamme. Now I will not feel bad about skipping and losing access to the side-quests lmao.

None of which I have played mind you, because I keep hearing they are bland.

[ChubbiChibbai]

Yeah i had one that was litterally - fetch some bread.
Others are go find these letters i dropped. Or go get some wood.
A few result in a minor bit of combat.
All are fetch quests but with out even the benefit of some decent story or exposition.

So you missed nothing and i won't be doing any more of them either lol

Just don't skip the one mark with '+' sign. They are important side quests that often time offer you upgraded abilities.

Also quests marked with a chest give collectables for an achievement and, coincidentally, often actually contain some good writing and side stories, everything else can be safely ignored.

And yes, most of the side quests that aren't marked are painfully boring and offer no useful rewards at all.

The sidequests are great. Some flesh out the story or characters, some gives good rewards, and yeah some are just filler but thats how it goes.

I'm not even a sidequest guy, usually. And I did every single one. Some were very memorable. Especially one involving charon. Though tbh I think it was mostly just because I wanted to spend more time in the world and have it last longer.

what? some of the sidequests are pretty good....gives more depth to characters and places. there a variety of them, and as the above said, you should do them to expand the world and for upgrades. they don't take too long either.

[Asryia]

only do the side quest that gives choco and ones at end that actually have story and substance
