Pardon the dust!
This page includes some jargon that hasn't been added to the site's glossary yet. I'll be around to fix this later, but sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime.

Glossary Entry: Side Quest

Definition

A side quest (or side mission, depending on the setting) is an optional quest that does not advance the game's main story.

Completing side quests usually grants various benefits, such as new equipment, XP, loot, and new lore about the game's world. It's often worth doing the side quests first, as these rewards can give players an edge against whatever they'll face in the main story.
