    There are some games where if you don’t do the side quests, you find yourself under leveled and struggling. Happened to me in Witcher 2 even though I thought I had completed all of the side quests in an area. Had to go back to the previous area and grind some more.

      And some other games you do all sidequests and you become a monster that steamrolls through the story (like dragons dogma 2 IIRC)

        IMO that’s how it should be. I absolutely hate the games where I do all the side quests in a zone and still have to grind to continue the main quest in the next zone.

        Real life is like the kind of games I hate. The side quests never give enough XP 😮‍💨
