10 Things Every Video Game Needs To Learn From The Witcher 3
4. How To Create & Structure Side Quests
Side quests are a staple of video game structuring, especially role-playing games. They supplement the main story while giving the player reason to explore and learn more about the world. However, many games struggle to create side quests that are just as compelling as the main quest, or vice-versa. Often they can feel like filler. They can slow things down and ruin the pace, which creates a disconnect between the player and the story. The Witcher 3 doesnt have this problem at all. Every quest, both large and small, is interesting and quickly engages you. The compelling nature of all of the quests brings out the completionist in nearly everyone who plays it. You never want to advance too far without seeing everything there is on offer, and thats because the quests are diverse in tone, well written, and develop the mythology of this fascinating world.
