The Updaam safe puzzle is a prime example. Yeah, the side content here is not terribly rewarding. Royalty is a continuous ripping and tearing motion. Lizard fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Oct 19, 2021 The worst thing is, the solution for that issue is already in the game - there are two unique trinkets that you can get only through side-quest (and that will be then added to general loot tables once you get them), which is cool and good and rewarding and they really should have done that for majority of trinkets and probably even some weapon variations. It's IMHO one of the biggest flaws of Deathloop - if all you get from hour+ long side-quest involving multiple maps (or even multiple loops) is your 8th copy of a trinket you were already seeing everywhere for half a game, not a lot of people will be satisfied, no matter how good the lore is. The issue is.there is rarely any real mechanical reward or real need to do them, if you don't want to read that lore snippet. Honestly side-quests in Deathloop do a pretty good job in expanding the lore of Blackreef and personalities of Eternalists and are often pretty cool and involved. I'm not really interested in a trinket I already have and a short blurb about some random eternalist. I think the difference is doing the side parts of Dishonored is a lot more rewarding than this game because it affects your chaos, expands the story, and gets you unique upgrades most of the time.
