The Evil Within 2: 6 Major Updates You Need To Know About
4. Side Quests
Whilst EA ruined fellow horror-shooter Dead Space 3 with optional missions – something their CV shows they are not inexperienced at doing – Bethesda will not force Tango Gameworks to include human enemies and an excessive number of explosions.
There already was a purpose to exploring every nook and cranny in The Evil Within as, if you didn’t, you would miss out on some badass gear; arsenal which made Ripley with her iconic flamethrower look adorable.
Still, side quests would be an additional reward for venturing away from
the main path - something we deserve after daring to walk down that
optional, pitch-black hallway with the lit-up, banging door in
the distance.
Certain bosses could be optional. Some weapons could only be attainable through these endeavours. And maybe it could all add up to good and bad endings with how Sebastian must seek out survivors in the STEM-made world.
Moreover, it will help balance the game through adding more variety to missions/chapters.
