No Athens Side Quests?

[dresoccer4]

I have been exploring Athens and have hardly come across any side quests. It's a giant city I assumed there'd be a plethora of fun missions. So I wanted to ask y'all if this was the case with you or if there's something wrong with my game...?

i'm talking about the gold diamond side quests

There are quite a lot of quests in Athens
A lot being 15-20, not 100...

Pericles, Cleon, Socrates, Alcibiade...some more i dont remember
All give some quests or open questlines...main, cult, side...

hmm, maybe i'm level 17 and dont see any. i just finished the main quest that takes place at the symposium

[Ficelle]

I think there are prerequisites
They werent all open at first
Dont know what exactly triggered them but probably connected to other areas

I think some quests will show up after some progression. I usually explore the hell out of each area before tackling the main missions in each area (usually to get the boring stuff out the way, and maybe fast travel to wherever the main story drags me :P).

i'd like to do this but i always worry i'll clear out a fort or something then have a side quest come back and make me do it all over again *facepalm*

That's half the fun! Revisiting a fort or camp after having cleared it previously results in some of the best "I'm such badass" moments in the game! I do this often and the second time around is always more fun. Especially the big complexes that required lots of careful observation and planning. To go back through and dominate it gives such a sense of accomplishment.

that's where i differ. i feel if i go through the planning and execution of clearing out an entire fort, then it should be friendly to me when next i show up (a la far cry). or at least stay empty. there are so many camps and forts that it will take a long long time to go through them, and clearing them out would give me a sense of accomplishment.

otherwise i dont feel the need to clear any out at all if they just fill right up again. similar idea with the big battles. i dont feel like theres any point to doing them so i stay away. i like to see cause and effects on the world for my efforts. but thats just my prefered gaming style.
