Every Daedric Prince has a side quest, towns and cities are bustling with people wanting the Dragonborn's help, and that's not even mentioning the number of guilds and organizations players can join like the Companions or the College of Winterhold. For a game as well-known as Skyrim , it still surprises even the most hardcore f


Still, the real masterstroke of the game is that it lets us live life with our MacGuffin. A MacGuffin is an object or person that drives the plot forward. Our character needs to get or regain the MacGuffin, and thus it justifies everything they do in pursuit of it. Usually, when the MacGuffin is acquired, that's when the credits roll. But that's not the case with Red Dead Redempti

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.

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. The games that do get it right allow the player to remain immersed in the world setting, living and breathing the fiction as if they were a part of it. Open-world games with great side quests don't automatically become classics, but the ones that do always have a great questing experie


Arthur had always been a ruthless, bloodthirsty, and merciless outlaw with few moral scruples.

However, what players very likely don't encounter is that same weather turning against them, as it is possible to get struck by lightning in the game. And much like in real life, it's a very rare occurrence. Naturally, though, the more time players spend in the game, the more likely it is to hap

Later, when John finds out her wishes came true, few players will remember the original conversation. This is just one of many foreshadowing conversations that occurs at the Van Der Linde Gang's ca


The last and best playable Red Dead character to this day is Arthur Morgan. Growing up, young Arthur was basically resigned the same fate as John before Dutch took him under his wing and guided him. Arthur always viewed Dutch as his only father-figure until the dispute that broke out among the gang later on Red Dead Redemption
