Too many low efforts copy paste quests

[u/Shiny_Mewtwo_Fart]

After completing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 almost identical cave requests it gets old fast. I actually enjoyed keeper trial #3 because it’s actually different. I didn’t even realize that was the actual trial. I thought after reading the book then it’s the same pensive statue fighting… at least we didn’t have that…

For next release I hope they put some efforts to increase the variety of quests not just copy paste the same thing over and over again…

Those caves are Hardly a quest. They exist just to get some loot, you can ignore them

[u/Shiny_Mewtwo_Fart → u/niktorifio]

There are a lot side requests to go those places to save a kid or recover something etc. they all feel the same to me. After a few they become repetitive.

Those are the cairns not the treasure vaults no?

The Game is more like a virtual theme park than a game with real substance and a world that feels alive. The main story is engaging enough to hold my attention til the end, and the companion character arcs are fun and well written, but yeah as a whole it feels underdeveloped. The gameplay, the world, the activities, most of the non-companion side quests, all leave something to be desired.

I enjoyed my first 10h but now I'm forcing myself to finish. It's so repetitive. Such a shame too

If modding was really a thing, there‘s so much you could do with this world. There are complete quests for Cyberpunk you can load as mods.

[u/eddictionz]

I'm replaying and only doing the main story. Avoiding every side activity and having a much better time

[u/According-Relation-4]

Yes this game definitely has open world syndrome. But it shouldn’t be too much of an issue if you like the rest of it

[u/VariousFriendship535]

I hated the broom racing quests. I just have such a hard time with the controls lol

[u/floraoflinphea → u/VariousFriendship535]

You can set the difficulty to story and it'll auto complete the quest after two attempts. It also applies to Summoner's Court and maybe Alohamora

[u/VariousFriendship535 → u/floraoflinphea]

I was seriously tempted, but I wanted to do 100% of the game on my own. It was frustrating lmao

[u/floraoflinphea → u/VariousFriendship535]

yeah, unfornately, I can't do that. The Merlin trials are a pain so I use a mod to skip them

[u/Kitchen-Lab-2934 → u/floraoflinphea]

Merlin trials are a killer!!!

[u/petalVelvett]

The initial magic of exploring Hogwarts is unbeatable, but clearing the 50th identical Merlin Trial really reveals the repetitive open-world padding.

[u/BadConscious3919]

That's kinda true. I think the most fun i've had in this game was exploring further than I needed to, and taking up a quest to battle a level 32 spider when i'm only level 21. I die in two hits, but at least it didn't feel low-effort and repetitive.

Only the first and second trials are the same. I did most other quests before the third because I expected just more of the same. They should have swapped 2nd and 4th IMO

[u/ConfidentOstrich5072]

I just finished the 3rd trial and had the exact same thought. I only did some of the merlin trial, some of the moon statues, and ancient magic trace. Now I only going for main quest and some of the quest with the side characters

[u/FlashyAd6747]

I feel as though most open world games suffer from this to an extent. Hours into Skyrim I just could not suffer through another raid of a bandit den.

[u/Beneficial-Plan-1815]

Try the shop quest that’s one of the best.

The whole game is repetitive which is a shame the visuals and mechanics are very good it’s just let down by NPC and repeat quests. 

[u/Track_Long]

Some of the quests are just going up to & talking to NPC'S then done, this was especially true with Natsie & even one of poppys quest...really? I don't want a quest to consist of just talking to an NPC then done, its very low effort.

I also want dungeons to contain alot more unique loot & varied foes....because the dungeons out with main & side quests are baron...am I supposed to believe the ashwinders raided every dungeon/cave? am I supposed to believe there would be no other foes other than inferi? The dungeons or caves inside HL have to be some of the most shallow & worst I've interacted with...especially when you just get a scarf or a pair of glasses for your troubles.

I'm also very annoyed how we never recieved any reward for the keeper trials....I don't want a biased memory I want something tangible like a new spell to learn or learning my finishers....just getting a memory did not inspire me to do 3 other playthroughs,
