Updated November 7, 2024, by Hamza Haq: Most games, open-world or otherwise, put very little emphasis on getting the side quest portion of the story right. Developers often focus all of their efforts on fleshing out the main story, the exploration, the progression system, and other factors. Side quests are mostly at the very bottom of the priority list for developers when, in reality, they are what gamers spend the most time doing, especially in open-world games where player freedom is at the core of the gameplay loop.

After another bank robbery-gone-wrong, the gang was deserted to the Guarma island, prompting a sarcastic question from Arthur, «Is it anywhere near Australia or Tahiti?» If Guarma is located near Cuba, it means that it’s ‘only’ 8.927 km far to Tahiti and 16,765 km to Australia. Pretty much ‘on the way,’

Side activities in RDR2 come in many flavors, ranging from hunting for rare animals to bounty hunting for the local authorities, to planning the perfect bank heists, and everything in between.

However, even after giving her medicine, Jenny will refuse a ride to town. She will say she can do anything through faith, despite John begging to bring her to town.

After all, Jenny thought that Marston was sent by God himself to give medicine to

Once again players should keep in mind that gang hideouts don’t always spawn at these exact locations but in the general area. If it doesn’t appear in the exact spot, they should ride around for a few minutes to see if it pops up somewhere else. If not just move onto the next one on the l

Elden Ring doesn’t have side quests in the traditional way that an open-world RPG might.
