What is your opinion on writing in quests that is outside the player perspective? I've been thinking about adding at least once a thread something of an outside PoV from different characters depending on what's going on. My main hesitation is that quests are naturally more collaborative, and I'm wary of writing from the PoV of someone who isn't the main character, and thus my player has no control of their actions. I also worry about the obvious aspect of the player now being a bit more aware of certain character's motivations that the PC wouldn't be.
On the other hand, it seems like it would be a useful tool for occasional world building and fleshing out of characters. How do you feel when you see something like this appear in a quest?
