About Side-Quests
Side-quests are additional tasks or missions that exist alongside the main storyline. They allow you to explore the game world, engage in activities, and uncover additional content beyond the central narrative.
Side-quests are typically optional and not essential for progressing through the main storyline. They offer a sense of freedom and exploration, allowing them to deviate from the main storyline and delve into additional content.
There are 76 side-quests, but I did not want to include them in this guide since they are in-depth topics and deserve guides on how to go at them.
Other than these missions, there are other side missions as well that you can participate in to get additional rewards. However, the missions mentioned are ones that you will have to do to progress further into the story.
