...if there was a total of 100 quests by the time the vanilla game was complete? And maybe 150 total quests by the time all the expansions were done. Quests just rock my boat...

With that user name the request should've been 92 or 99 quests for vanilla and 215 quests for all the expansions laugh

Designing quests for the sake of filling out an arbitrary number or to pad out play time is not going to work out as well as you believe it would. I ended up playing AC: Valhalla and ended up dropping it REALLY fast thanks to design philosophy like this. It's the first game I've dropped in -years-.

Having that many quests in a cRPG would be insufferable. Especially when you have to consider quest rewards and then have to consider how to balance the game around the existence of these sidequests. cRPGs are not grindy ass open world games.

Well, for a start going by the first act alone I fully expect the final BG3 to have way more than "100 quests".
That aside...

...Yeah, exactly this.

No, I don't think that reaching an arbitrary number of quests would necessarily make the game better (or worse).

Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
