I think it was Carnal Sins (not sure). Level 15 quest in Novigrad, you get it once you've finished the main quests there, there's gonna be a new quest pop up at the end called Cabaret, and it starts a string of second quests around the town. And it is sad. Fucking sad as shit. I actually cried, not just "almost".
I realize that the title of this thread would equal some sort of spoilers but honestly this particular one was kind of shit to read. Spoiler tag next time please?
I got to the Cabaret part but failed to finish it. I know what to do now, thanks.
It was truly sad (especially if you helped the demon and defied the Crones). But I got the impression that the quest was a side quest. Could be wrong though
Well.. we are talking about the best quest.. how did you expect it to be spoiler free is beyond me >.< Thou I apologize.
"Now or Never"
hands down, the most touching quest in video game history

That was hilariously bad written quest. I 100% agree with this guy - http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/702760-the-witcher-3-wild-hunt/71849323/821459094
Dandelion quest line is a big let down, one big chain of linear fetch quests :/
My best quest/event just happened now. No markers or nothing. Was scoping out a village in the middle of nowhere when I see a guard and some witch hunters pounding on a door. Didn't think nothing of it at first and figured it was a vanilla scripted event like npcs sleeping as there were no yellow quest exclamation marks etc. So being curious I walked up to the door to see the witch hunters smashing the door down confronting a Mage, his wife and his child that were inside. Automatically went to a cutscene with a decision to be had...get involved or stay out of it. Needless to say I got involved, saved the family and Geralt instructed the Mage to go find Triss. Cool Stuff! Great Immersion!!
For me so far is when I met a recurring character from TW2. Not gonna spoil it though.
The mission on Fyke Island. Very deep, touching and interesting. Until now at lest ( I arrived at Skillege and did about 8 quests there)
My favorites have to be the ones involving Priscilla
The first was at the Kingfisher listening to the song Wolven Storm. A magical moment. The scene definitely reminds me of the Name of the Wind's Eolian. Can see Kvothe playing there.
After is the quest the Play's the Thing, where Geralt tackles on being an actor.
Then the part where you get to hang out with Eskel and Lambert at Kaer Morhen, and then follow through Lambert's genius idea... wearing Yennefer dresses to summon the bitches to the party. That was probably the most hilarious moment in the whole trilogy.
And then of course the powerful moments like the botchling quest. The one when Geralt thought Ciri was dead.
My God. This game is just filled with wow factors.

To me, definitely the most memorable in the game so far,... the WHOLE quest line, mind you, including the "aftermath". Caught me totally off guard...
Spoilers please, for the people who haven't finished it.
And you know, tastes and stuff. I don't agree with anything said there. That quest was meant as a tone changer, just as you finish your time in Novigrad and prepare to move on to Skellige, your old friends want to catch up and have a friendly drink. However, things make for a strange turn, and everything goes to shit. The quest is also useful for explaining how the Eternal Fire is very much alike Christianity during the Inquisition era. Plus the whole quest line has a pessimistic, terribly grim and yeah, sad, edge to it because of the victim herself. Coupled with what you saw of her during the main quest, her fate is simply horrible. May be that didn't do a thing to you guys, but I sing, so that part really touched me. And I also read the books and it was shocking for me to see Dandelion being serious and desperate for once.
Also the "fetch quests" as you say I think were used as some sort of "goodbye" to Novigrad before changing zones, as technically speaking Geralt spends some time on Skellige once he leaves. The quest makes you go to places in the city you may not have gone to before, and goes past 3 other starting quests that you may have skipped before (I spent 25 hours in Novigrad and still missed those 3 quests, one about Novigrad spies, one about 3 rogues with stolen magical treasure, one with a murder in a back alley.
Plus I don't see what the hell did you expect for a quest in the middle of a city. There are pursuit quests, there are dungeon crawling quests, and yeah, sometimes you gotta fetch some stuff, what's the big deal ? That your first time on a RPG ? I think the "CSI' stuff is accurate as Geralt IS the best tracker in the world, who better to make a criminal investigation ? Also the whole main plot is a hunt in itself, the fact that you are annoyed by a sub-plot is puzzling to me.
All in all, looks like that dude in your quote is kind of nitpicking around stuff, I don't know if it's a matter of taste or simple ignorance of how a story works, how RPGs works, I don't know. Still I liked that quest so boogers for you both !

After that quest I forgot to change my sword and I fought for quite some time with the prop fake sword. And I kept wondering why I dealt no damage to the bandits
Hands down, Family Matters. This quest just punch you right to the gut. I remember it clearly: it was night when I played, and I could feel goosebumps when turning botchling into a lubberkin, dealing with wraiths, then following lubberkin to the hut. I cold feel the tension ticking with every moment and then the absolute sorrow when Baron was reciting the words to his daughter... It was emotionally exhausting.
I also loved 'The Ladies of the Woods' and the very first moment you speak to the crones through the tapestry and seeing them in flesh. Wow, the music, their voices, it was magical.
Another one is 'Forefathers' Eve' because it was heavily inspired by one of my favorite poem of the same name by great Adam Mickiewicz. Just like with Family Matters, the tension, the mood of night gloomy and haunting night is amazing and thrilling.
The Battle of Kaer Morhen, as I am sucker for undergrounds defending themselves in a guarded place against stronger forces. It was great to cooperate with the others. Make me wish how perfect TW4 could be with being able to have companions instead of travelling solo.
Honorable mentions to Gwent matches.
