Bethesda Game Studios RPGs have always had a tendency to almost put more love and care into their side quests and optional offerings than they do with their main stories, and though Fallout 4 does admittedly have some issues that hold it back, in this particular area, it really pulls absolutely no punches.

Its post-nuclear version of Boston and its surrounding areas is one that’s brimming with excellent one-off stories, bizarre hidden locations, and weird and eccentric personalities, all begging to be discovered.

For obvious reasons, there’s been a resurgence in popularity for Fallout 4 of late, which has brought with it a vast number of new players experiencing the game for the first time. If you’re one of them, make sure you seek out these side quests in your playthrough to experience some of the best content in the entire game.
