I'd happily take it without co-op!

Yeah definitely. I get the feeling they didn't want you to miss much by just playing the story. Which ends up shooting them in the foot because players get bored and stop doing them, when they put some pretty big story info and character moments in the final sidequests. That bloat pushes me away from a lot of the big AAA games. I'm not a fan of the meta humour or lampshading either. You designed the game this way!Jobobonobo wrote: ↑August 18th, 2023, 12:01 pm I have heard a lot of complaints about sidequests in FFXVI. Doing the same thing over and over for comparatively little reward is just something that does nothing for me these days. I liked how older RPGs did side quests. For example in FFVII, side quests involved traveling to new locales in order to recruit optional party members and fighting really tough bosses that rewarded you with crazy weapons and summons. That is a million times better than grind the same area over and over for hours until you get a super rare item that the NPC wants. To me few but meaningful side quests will always be more compelling content than hundreds of mindless fetch quests.
Its funny, I just listened to the Cane and Rinse on Nier and they mentioned that the constant quips Grimoire Weiss makes about the player doing these meaningless side quests seemed like the developer itself laughing at you for wasting your time. And while that can be an amusing bit of meta humour, I would honestly just prefer if they had better side content instead.
BG3 does look good, think I'm going to wait and see how I feel about it. I'd be playing on PS5 so I'll have to wait for that at least.Tolkientaters wrote: ↑August 18th, 2023, 1:04 pm If you guys want some really solid side material Baldur's Gate 3 is perfect, none of the optional quest feel low effort or copy paste, they all feel really unique and they're really well presented.
