RPGs (role-playing games) practically always contain an assortment of quest types as a core component. They can be as simple as fetch quests or develop into involved undertakings that culminate in slaying a fearsome boss. Fetch quests can involve retrieving a symbolic object and returning it to the quest giver, establishing relationships with NPCs or factions and earning handsome rewards.
Quests are vital for progression in open-world RPGs as they can influence the overarching story in uncanny ways. The open-world subgenre is exploding in popularity, which is partly credited to immersive quests. Now that we’re coming to the end of a gaming generation let’s take a look at games with a heavy focus on questing.
10 Horizon Zero Dawn
Horizon Zero Dawn‘s fantastic gameplay and graphics are the icing on top of the game’s immersive quests. This post-apocalyptic game contains a perilous journey filled with dialogue choices. The dialogue choices lightly influence the plot, but fortunately, Horizon Zero Dawn has compelling storylines. Horizon Forbidden West is just around the corner in 2021. The original Horizon’s questing has laid the foundation for a triumphant sequel in the making.
9 Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Taking part in this game’s odyssey puts players on a fortunate and unfortunate adventure. The highs and lows of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey are part of a meandering path with enjoyable quest lines. Seemingly trivial quests can lead to the game’s ending. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey attracts players for its immersive world, but the quests glue the game together for one surreal experience.
8 Fable II
The Fable franchise is like a distant memory. It’s been a while since we’ve seen a spectacular game in the series. Players remember games like Fable and Fable II for their immersive quests. These quests can be part of the main overarching story or as side stories. Side quests might mean less progression for players, but you could be handsomely rewarded for completing them. The blend of main and side quests works well in Fable II.
7 The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Games from The Elder Scrolls series seldom disappoint. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind contains some of the most intriguing and difficult quests in the series. Like the Corprus Cure quest, it’s hard not to fall in love with every Morrowind main story quest. This praiseworthy game is by no means perfect. Too many fetch quests keep the game from reaching its potential. At the same time, this spellbinding adventure has a spectacular quest variety.
6 Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
The developers at Ubisoft Montreal ensured that the Viking’s Assassin’s Creed game would be a success story. The game’s scenic locations across Norway and England are awe-inspiring. This cross-platform game is compatible with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla‘s quests are part of the main story branches. Main story segments can branch into different areas depending on in-game choices. The sheer amount of content makes Assasins’s Creed Valhalla a must-play.
5 Fallout: New Vegas
This game has a pioneering main story to tie-in with groundbreaking side quests. It’s set in a 2281 post-apocalyptic world in the former city of Las Vegas. Chances are, if you’ve played Fallout: New Vegas, you thoroughly enjoyed the game’s questing. You start as someone left for dead by a group of mobsters. With a faint recollection of the attempted murderer, you set out on the main quest to confront him.
4 The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
Nintendo has proven time and time again that they are a juggernaut company willing to compete. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is one of the most prolific games for questing. Some quests are more linear than others. This game pays homage to early The Legend of Zelda games while introducing new RPG elements. It won’t take you long to get caught up amid the game’s immersive quests.
3 Fallout 3
Whether or not the mainline Fallout series is considered better than spin-offs is a topic of hot debate, but there’s no denying the mark it’s left on gaming as a whole. Fallout 3 was one of Bethesda’s crowning achievements, thoroughly cementing its already considerable status as a leading RPG developer.
Fallout 3 contains an abundance of worthwhile main quests and side quests with an exciting premise to build on. Early in the game, you decide to destroy a town or become a resident. Megaton’s fate is anything but sealed, and it’s quests like this that make the game stand out.
2 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Synonymous with open-world RPGs, Skyrim has captivated us with its dreamlike frosty mountainous setting. If you haven’t tried it yet, it’s never too late to start. Including the game’s DLCs, Skyrim has multiple storylines to catch your attention. The game’s quests run the gamut from typical medieval fantasy fare to supernatural in nature, providing a nearly limitless bevy of content for gamers to tackle, potentially for years to come.
1 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
In comparison to The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt sees improvements by tenfold. There are a variety of quests to be found in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt‘s expansive open-world, including The Tower Outta Nowheres, a quest that people routinely miss. The detective work involved with the game’s quests adds layers of depth. If you can get past its learning curve, there are riveting quests to find in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
