For me while it’s not the best I loved the pan side quest in the Witcher 3.

Pick anything from witcher 3 and you're right

this! the carnal sins quest in novigrad

Witcher is what inspired the post. Been replying it since I’ve never played the DLC. Some of these quest are better than the main game

Replayed it earlier this year, because I never finished the DLC in my first playtrough. Yeah, the side quest really adds to the whole experience and world building to the game. The DLC are great as well, so I'm sure you'll have fun with it if you enjoy the core game.

Yeah, as soon as I read the title The Witcher 3 came to my mind. I have to replay it at some point.

Ghost of Tsushima, Lady Masakos tales

control got some cool ones

Skyrim had some good ones

Need to finish her tales

The Fallout games always had great side quests.

The Silver Shroud from Fallout 4 jumps out to me. In FO2 there’s a small side quest where you can become a p*** star with the stage name Arnold Swollenmember lol

They are f***ing amazing, some points of her and Jin’s dialogue literally gave me chills

The Ishikawa tale was fire too

Hell yes, honestly all of the side quests in GOT are incredible

Witcher 3 Side Quests can be deeper and more interesting than most video game stories in general. That game has incredible writing

I nominate Anju and Kafei from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Never played any of the Zelda series but out of all of them this is the one that interests me the most

I mean it's Witcher 3, no discussion

Oblivion had some of of the best side content

Carnal Sins and The Cave of Dreams immediately come to mind
Plus all of the Witcher contracts were super interesting with some of them having great moral dilemmas

Anju and kafei quest >>>

Oblivion
The thief's guild, the dark brotherhood and mage's guild can compete with other games main quests
