Side quests are optional quests for the player to attempt. All games should have side quests. They give the player more game play time. Do you make side quests for your games? How many side quests should a game have?

I like to make sidequests with hidden rewards in them that enhances the game.

 

Yup, sidequests, actually will raise the gameplay time. Also, doing sidequests, are something that will give something in reward to the players, for the quest efford, and for the time spent. Those prizes should be something that makes the game easier, such an rare sword, a rare item, a good ammount of gold...

 

Also, that makes the game funnier, and more professional in the way that you just don't simply follow a storyline, but also manage to perform some sidequests.

sidequests are always good ^^ I'd say around 30 side quests depening

30 side quests are a lot! They will keep any hardcore gamer busy to finish them all. 30 will only be effective if they add excitement to the game.

Ocarina of Time had the perfect amount of sidequests for it's story, so I think that anyone making an RPG like game should use OoT as a role model. ^~^

and I agree with Kiriashi, I never thought about OOT sidequests ^^

Side quests in Forever is half and half. There are some which you can chose to do and some which are hidden. The hidden ones often yield great rewards for the player, including rare equipment or items, which can either be kept or sold for alot of money. I put them in where I need them or where I think rewards are due. So a guess at the number cannot be concieved.

You know I liked collecting Star Dust in the Legend of Dragoon and getting an award for every 10 I collected. I like these, even though they are simple.
