10 Missable Video Game Side Quests That You NEED To Do

The Witcher 3 pays attention to detail in the most unexpected ways, including a special quest that triggers only if the player does things out of order.

If you follow the line of the main quests normally, doing them in order of the recommended level for completing them, Geralt is meant to visit Skellige after the events at the Bloody Baron's keep.

However, while it is difficult to do these quests out of order due to the higher level of enemies, it is possible to finish the main questline on Skellige first, and when this happens, the game will actually give you a unique quest, "A Mysterious Passenger," to resolve a certain inconsistency in the plot.

Because the quests for the Bloody Baron culminate with Geralt learning of Uma, the ugly creature that was traveling alongside Ciri before she went missing, a Mysterious Passenger allows the player to learn this information from an alternative source by asking one of Skellige's jarls, Larvik.

The quest isn't challenging or action-packed, but it's still intriguing to play through once, just to see what happens when you mess with the game's intended timeline.
