My Experience With Curiosities

Curiosities allow players to dive deeper into the game’s lore and explore the story differently. Although I don’t belong to the completionist players, I managed to earn all these. It was overwhelming at the start, but once you get a hold of these reward offerings, it is worth the trouble.

That was all for my guide. If you have more queries regarding any curiosities, share them in the comments section below and I will answer them for you.
