10 Video Game Side-Quests That Were Better Than The Main Story

3. No Place Like Home - Witcher 3

Between fighting monsters and all the political intrigue, there is a brief moment in the Witcher 3 where everything grinds to a halt. The quest stands in contrast to the entire rest of the game and offers a really surreal and interesting experience.

Essentially, you relax with your friends and have a beer. The entire quest is made up of well-written dialogue, conversation and funny moments. You barely even have control of Geralt and instead just choose your next sentence.

And then there is the fact that you get black-out drunk, chase a goat, and try to convince an elf that you are Yennefer by wearing her clothing. It's essentially a simulation of a really good night out, and that is absolutely brilliant.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
