But despite its absolutely enormous world, there's actually only a few bosses and "quests" that players need to complete to finish the game. But the side quests, usually tied to characters players stumble across out in the Lands Between, often yield amazing rewards like items and alternative paths forward. These side quests bring players to areas they might never have gone, like the Volcano Manor's Tarnished Hunting missions, and serve as some of the only ways that players can figure out what is going on in the lore of Elden Ri

Much like other games on this list, Red Dead Redemption feels like a different entity when indulging in side missions. That’s because the strangers met out in the wilderness offer more depth in their challenges. There’s also the difference that can be felt in gameplay if playing as John Marston or his

Players who don't want to deal with the hassle of starting their own group can just join up with any posse they want. Players will just need to hit the left button on the D-Pad to open up the Free Roam Menu. From here they will be able to select the Posse tab which shows all of the available groups that are available to join. Players can also search for a specific group to join like a real-world friend's po

While a multitude of side missions can be found in basically any AAA game music these days, it’s not the same as having the best side quests. There are certain games that, perhaps not as popular or vast, have better side missions for one to engage in. Since gamers prefer different genres, this list includes titles of varying sty

Bill Williamson was born in 1866 as Marlon Williamson, but he felt embarrassed by it, so he changed it. He grew up in an uneasy household as his father was a heavy drinker. Afraid of having the same fate, Bill decided to join the US Army and was assigned to the 15th infan

After finding all the pieces, the player must go to El Matadora and give the pieces to the treasure hunter. This will have the player follow the hunter into a cave, where they find a box. As it turns out, the box is empty and there is no treasure to be found. It's a shame, but the fact that the quest is pretty hilarious in its own right makes this lack of a reward slightly better. It's a classic Rockstar moment that shows that the developer won't shy away from taking the mickey out of everything and everyone possible, including the player themsel

Once players have selected the group that they think is a good fit, they are then good to go. They can join in any group activities that the posse decides on, and they can even enter into a private group chat with their new friends to get to know each other. Additionally, all posse members will show up as blue on the map rather than the standard red of other play

These have to do with liberating the area from the rule of the antagonists. Due to this style, there’s a certain sense of accomplishment that comes with conquering environments. The gameplay itself comes across as distinct here, as the focus isn’t solely on shooting mechanics. Instead, RPG elements give way for a mixture of exploration and com

Over 20 years, Hosea Matthews had been "Dutch's closest friend and right‐hand man." He was born in 1844, and although his father lived a sinful life and had never really seen him more than 3 times, Hosea did love

Soon, Arthur knocked his captor down, cut Leon and Baptiste loose, and helped them fight the militia to save the workers. Baptiste gave him some money and wished him luck on his quest to return to America, and nobody really knows if they made out alive it after that ni

Thanks to Arthur, Hercule Fontaine, and his people got what they deserved: the freedom against Fussar the Oppressor. By the time the Guarma chapter ends, Arthur and the gang parted ways with Hercule, and he does not make an appearance on the game, even in the newspa

We all know Dutch's ruthless and unforgiving nature, like when he once promised never to hesitate to eliminate anyone from the gang who snitched, but why did he have to go that far to kill Gloria? Yes, she was a gold-digging degenerate who pointed her knife at him when she asked for more gold, but she could easily be disar

In **Red Dead Online ** players have complete freedom to roam the world by themselves killing other players or behaving like a grizzled lone bounty hunter. This isn't a bad way to play, and honestly, players will get a lot of fun out exploring Rockstar's massively beautiful world all by themselves. At the end of the day though it can get very lonely out there in the Wild West and its much safer to travel as a gr

The trick here is to hop from cover to cover and try not to stay out in the open for long. Players who leave themselves vulnerable will wind up getting overwhelmed by the sheer amount of enemies. It's probably a good idea to use a repeater or a couple of pistols if engaging the enemies up close. Players can also shoot from a distance with a rifle to pick off some a fair amount of enemies before coming in close to finish off the straggl
