As The Ghoul so eloquently put it in the Fallout TV show, “Golden Rule of The Wasteland: Thou shalt always get sidetracked by someone else’s bullsh!t.” If that doesn’t perfectly encapsulate the idea of video game side quests, I don’t know what does.

While it's more or less the same as escort missions, I have to give a dishonorable mention to protect quests. You know, the ones where someone has to do something that leaves them open and vulnerable, so you have to intercept the bad guys while they work on...whatever it is that they have to do, and they've apparently taken lessons on how to do it as inefficiently and painfully slowly as humanly possible.

Rob might be the best list maker on yourube. Especially in his talking skills

oh, stealth-quests with randomly turning-around NPCs. Yeah, those are "fun".

So weird, I was just thinking about this topic the other day 😂 And how one I see all the time is when you have to find a missing person, but you inevitably find their corpse instead. You loot their corpse and if the game has dialogue options then you have the option to return the loot to the quest giver or keep it for yourself. Seen this exact quest in more games than I can count 😂

Hello you've caught me waiting all day for this

Oh, Rob. You have no idea how much you have improved my day. Thanks!! 😊💙🎉 Oh oh, I got one. You get to a new town and a quest giver needs you to go give something to three different npcs that are all like 5 seconds from the quest giver. If I didn’t know they were going to be so close, I probably wouldn’t bother. 😂

Photo qursts have been my favorite side quests since Beyond Good and Evi. Now i find myself trying to get that perfect shot in any game that gives me a camera or photo mode. One thing I'd like to see in more games are photo quests that test your mettle. Getting that one shot during a boss fight, sure you might sacrifice a bit of health, but just look at the sheer majesty of that attack. Breathtaking.

My least favorite obligatory sidequest is to go collect XX items like feathers.

Especially if they are rare drops. It’s one thing to do something repetitive, it’s another to not control the outcome due to RNG. Looking at you Giant Eagle eggs from Nier…

A side quest that involves stealth in a game that isn’t normally about stealth. Yeah those are fun. 😢

Excellent video as always, though I will hear no slander towards the 'bow wow wow' song

Don't forget the shop orders in the Star Ocean games 🫠 Also 🎵 Bawawow Bawawow!! 🎵

Escort quests are devs revenge for criticizing their games. They are easily the most detestable quests in RPGs. This channel is also better than anything on TV or Cable

I was actually wondering how many takes it took for the party popper bit, so I’m glad the outtakes were put in there 😂

The Pictograph Contest in Majora's Mask is really useful to the game. Worth a heart piece that Deku King picture.

My least favourite side quest is the follow someone and eavesdrop on their conversations. Especially when you have follow them without being seen and they always manage to see you by looking up at the rooftops or can see round corners and through walls. Assassins Creed is the biggest culprit for this quest.

The outtakes at the end are fantastic

love how creative the Friday Features have been since they came back, cracking work PA.

Just reiterating the universal joy that Friday Features have returned.

I love the end bloopers, feels like a 90s-2000s pixar movie

12:47 Rob’s face 😂😂😂

I am loving the blooper reels at the end of these videos. I would love a blooper compilation

I love seeing clips of Stellar Blade on this channel cuz you know Access is trying their best to only show work appropriate attire lol

Friday feature idea. 7 video game jump scarse that almost made you soil yourself. Dave should be the master of this.

An escort mission in a non-rpg is in Star Wars battlefront 2015, the training mission overpower, where you pilot an AT-ST escorting an AT-AT. It’s probably an okay escort mission, as you’re defending an armoured vehicle, and it usually only takes minimal damage, especially if you’re quick. Other than that, I can understand the frustration with escort missions, though I can’t remember specifically what games I’ve played where there are any but I remember doing them. They are so frustrating, for the reasons Rob says, as the devs conveniently forgot to give the escorted character enough IQ points to not do the dumbest things possible.

For the Scooby Doo quest, Ghost Of Tsushima's "vengeful ghosts in the forest at night" quest, whatever it is actually called, would have been perfect to use.

"Shots fired"

The type of quest that comes to mind, I recently saw in Stellar Blade. A person asks you to look for another person who went to get some crucial supplies. After going to the place where that person should be, you find not only a dead body but also a boss battle just waiting to greet you. A lot of that type of side quest exists in other games too.

Hello, you've caught me absolutely loving the re-introduction of this series ❤

My weekly side quests include watching Rob's lists.

Although not in every RPG, there is also the mini game side quest that can also tie into the collectable side quest. e.g Triple Triad, Gwent, Chocobo hot n cold.

It's videos like these that made me fall in love this channel.

There's one I like to call the cataloguing side quest. It's the one where some NPC asks that you gather information about specific things, whether it's artifacts or enemies. Cataloguing quests really grind my gears 😂

Always a treat!

The “introducing a new game mechanic” sidequest

Catching Rob on Fridays.. best accomplishment !!

These videos and the weekend are the best thing about Fridays! 😊

What about Turret missions. You know the ones where you man a gun turret and have to take out a certain number of enemies or try to stay alive for a certain amount of time.

those after video ending scene of the production are great 🎉😂 love them. also, that Bow wow wow song is a Jammer 🕺

We need a bloopers/outtakes compilation video. Really enjoyed this weeks Friday Feature. Thanks guys

The production and creative quality of these are just 👌🏻 incredible! Please please continue including outtakes at the end they're my new favourite bit 😂😂

Hello! You caught me watching another great Friday Feature 😊 It got me thinking of the next topic…7 Best Game Pause Menus in Videogames, not sure if it was done before, but that be something 😇

I love the outtakes!

Nothing like a good end game side grind

I like that Greedfall was designed with a goal to avoid fetch quests. Sometimes, I enjoy doing fetch quests to add more exploration to the world and lore and to do something easy if I'm not up for more challenging quests, but it was nice to play a game where quests had a deeper narrative payoff. I absolutely adore photography sidequests. I end up spending a ton of time in photomode anyway, so it's nice to get some XP, reputation or unlockables out of it too. I'm pretty sure l spent about 100 hours in Ghost of Tsushima just taking beautiful shots of the scenery, and Jin looking pensive ir badass.

Not a side quest as such but in every rpg there's always a "walk really slowly towards a trading post because you're massively over encumbered but want to sell all the goodies" moment.

These just get better and better

Rob as a KZread boxer? I think I'm sensing a head to head with Dave when Undisputed comes to PS5. Walk outs are a must!

You're forgetting the "herding animals", usually that worlds representation of a sheep into a three walled structure. Sheep that will instinctively go the opposite direction to whichever you need them to go. Great fun always.

The delivery quest! Go talk to Bob half-way across the kingdom, give him this letter, then come back and tell me.

Outtakes!? Yes please and thank you!

Every RPG is an endorphin boosting ego trip. And *ALL* XP bars are just "Self Worth" metres. "Excuse me, hero. 'Tis I, a regular person. I lost my thing in the dangerous woods. I know exactly where I lost it (so it isn't lost) but 'tis too dangerous for a mere mortal, such as I." "Of course. What's the point in saving the entire realm, if u can't take a moment to squeeze more popularity from the small folk. That's what I always say."

The Fluffy side quest was great and tied in so beautifully with Traces of Two Pasts idk what to tell you.

1. Find X amount of an item. Ex: Feathers in AC2 2. Help solve a mystery. Ex: Find a killer in Fallout 4, solve an murder mystery in Skyrim, or help the police solve crimes since they're short-handed in Sherlock: Chapter 1 3. Gather X items to help an NPC complete a ritual of some kind. Ex. Fable 2 to bring Lady Gray back to life 4. Join a faction or factions if the game lets you. Ex: Skyrim, Bloodborne, or Dark Souls 5. Get married/Romance either a party member or random NPC: Final fantasy 7, Fable series, & the Dragon age series

So glad your back Rob 🎉 I stopped watching when you stopped doing stuff like this 🎉 we missed you

The obligatory "you've lost all your equipment and must reclaim it" side quest. Have you been drugged/robbed/tricked or convinced out of your equipment to level the playing field for one particular side quest. Yes, it happens in every game.

It was kinda mentioned but the "Save the cat" mission is in EVERY game. Also, the escort missions where instead of following you stealthily around the shadows, you have to follow them as they run directly down the middle of the road through the enemies.

This was a really good one!😂😂👏

Ah side quests. Usually a fun delight and a must if you're a curious completionist myself.

Rats inna basement?? Ah. Yep, that one was represented early.

The "princess" monster: - oh adventurer! You have come to kill the evil monster, well... Actually the monster is in another castle (repeat 3 or 4 times for good measure)

Take away fetch quests from DA and the game is only 8mins long. Lmao, priceless Rob. Scooby Doo quest, lmao

Could you possibly pair the fetch quests with the item trade quests? I feel like that is another one that comes up late game to infuriate you before you get to the final boss

do the top 7 worst escort missions, spyro 2 and 3 have to be in it.
