Quests in Grim Dawn provide objectives for the player and allow the story of the game to advance.
Main quests are integral to the game's plot, and completion is necessary for the game to progress. Side-quests are usually optional missions that can provide valuable rewards and experience, as well as encouraging exploration of the game world.
