    Most games don't really make the side missions seem like it isn't a chore. Other people just do it to get 100% like nerds

    yea, i typically get caught up in them, and generally regret it since i never complete them all and i just end up with a bloated mission list

    The ones I've dived into are just defend the point or collect some stupid thing from across the map

    Yerp I feel like you miss a big part of a game if you don't do them. Most of the time in JRPGs you wanna do the sidequests because they lead to getting the ultimate weapons and armor. Might just be the case in RPGs in general.

    JRPGs are probably the best that execute the side mission structure because they have underlining plots not in the main story and like you said weapons and info

    Yea, I get too wrapped up in them and don't actually make any story progress for days at a time

    I play the side missions if the game is fun enough. I had witcher 3 since it dropped and I've played it so much. I did mostly side quests and contracts Bc they were so fun

    Ff15 has sick dungeons

    Witcher & Skyrim are probably have the most captivating side missions due to the fact you will never really finish the actually game

    I'm not feeling this game so far. The story is solid but the characters dry as s--- and the gameplay gets a little stale eventually. Solid 7 game

    I'm 100% sure mass effect will be loaded with side content.

    Borderlands 2 and even that South Park game had great objectives to do apart from the story

    Bioware tends to s--- with side missions if I recall right. So I hope so.

    Need another dragon age too tbh

    Spent most of yesterday playing Nier Automata and sunk about two thirds of the time I played into random character quests

    Totally worth it

    If you didn't play the GTA SA vigilante side missions in CJs cop outfit you just aren't worth talking to

    Most of the time I like playing side missions more than the main quest. But the main games I play which have main & side quests are Bethesda games, and they usually don't have a good main story, so I guess that makes sense.
