Best Witcher 3 side quests [NO SPOILERS]

Bloody Baron was good but it lasted wayyyy too long.

I forget what it was but I quite liked the one where you go into that tower (or lighthouse was it?) and then find out all the messed up shit that happened there.
 
I do not remember the quest names but there are 2 side quests which I really loved. One is you are asked to get rid of noon wraith from the well. You put together her story by piecing the clues you find. The next one is where you find the entire village slaughtered but there is a kid who is sole survivor.

Both really were better than most games main quests ;) The later one had a even better twist after you get the full picture.
 
Any quest that does not involve too many portals.
I hate portals.

Kiera Metz side quests, Dandelion's Carnal Sins
 
That one with Keira, the tower, and rats was really great. Even better though is that I had the Peddler waiting for me for his own quest and there was a storm and the island was full of people at the same time. It was just the right amount of things going on all at once.
 
There's one off the coast of Skellige that I did at the perfect time (foggy night).

You approach a hut and the guy inside said there's wraiths everywhere and he can't come out. So, you head up to the lighthouse to see if you can get rid of the wraiths and discover that the keeper (the guy in the hut) had a deal with a trader to crash any incoming trade boats.

God, writing that out reminded me how fantastic this game is.

First one sounds like Devil In The Well, the first contract.

The second one was a DLC quest I think which involved a rogue witcher killing a whole town except for a girl. He was a tough fight.
 
The Bloody Baron one and Possession were the two that stuck with me the most.

I think enough has been said about the Bloody Baron one, but with Posession

Spoilers:
I really didn't want to throw the baby in the oven, but because I told Cerys that I trusted her I just did whatever she told me. I did hesitate for a second, though, lol.
It really caught me by surprise, even though maybe it shouldn't have, and stuck with me for a while.
