So I've been grinding side gigs in 2077 for the past couple of days to get that luxury car for V. It seems that they are the equivelent to the third tier quests in witcher 3 specifically the witcher contracts but with less story context. Doing a lot of them in one go really highlights how witcher 3 was superior to 2077 is this aspect, at least for me.
Now a main iasue of side gigs are CDPR design these missions for multiple pathways like a run of the mill Deus Ex mission. You can hack this, open that door, go silent or go loud. So far, all of them comes with a text message giving context and sometimes rare dialogue choices. The problem is CDPR made too many these and a lot of them are dissapointing. Like i did one to steal some tax insurance shard from a vindictive ex wife of a corpo and after depositing the shard all I got was a congratulatory phonecall from Wakako. That goes for pretty much all side gigs too btw.
Contrast that to an early monster hunt in witcher 3, the werewolf hunt. It was one of the very first contracts you can do after getting to Velen and the first time you get to face off against a werewolf. You get to interogate a village and find out that the sister of the victim was in love with the werewolf and cause the victims death because of jeolousy. Geralt can then decide to let the werewolf kill the sister, or kill the beast himself. While combat was pretty much one note the entire quest felt like a short novella.
I vastly prefered the witcher 3 design of doing these quests and did every single damn hunt in that game while I will probably only do side gigs when I need eddies. This is probably my major critic of the game and does not get highlight enough because of the other noise.
