Sidequests are a common advertised feature of a RPG.
While having a large number of sidequests is impressive (they are a lot of work after all), I've been wondering how necessary they actually are.
I don't know if it's just me, but personally, but if a game implements a huge ton of sidequests it's more deterring for me than it is attractive.
I feel like they are often such a grind; I always do them to try and get my 100% completion, so I won't miss out on any special loot or bonus stuff,
but most of the time I'm annoyed with them, trying to do them as quickly as possible, so I can get on with the main storyline.
I do like sidequests sometimes, but only if they're memorable and give deeper insight into the story/characters/setting, but if a game advertises having a ton sidequests, they are usually more of a "fetch me 10 of this and that, so I can brew this medicine for my sick mother"-type of quests.
What's your opinion on sidequests? Are they fun? Do they add to the game? What kind of side-quests do you like? Or does the type not even matter since they're optional after all?

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
