This week we get a little philosophical about the nature of sidequests and how much work and ethics are involved therein. LeGrande goes back to Assassin’s Creed Odyssey to lament the overabundance of “pretty good” sidequests on the game’s map. But how can he choose? Dale has gotten into Destiny 2, and a little bit of The Horus Heresy: Legions. Jeremy traversed the deserts and savannahs of northern Africa in the pre-WWII nazi-fighter, Pathway.
