Quests, characters, and stories are the heart of any great RPG, and they're a big reason why these games are beloved by so many players. Typically, the more variety a game offers in terms of how players can approach even the smallest quest, the more it's discussed and celebrated. The best RPGs out there are known for offering a rich array of activities beyond basic combat, predictable revenge plots, or collecting random items. Instead, they provide unconventional and memorable missions.
