Fallout 4 Quest Guide

Fallout 4 includes main quests, side quests, and miscellaneous quests. Completing quests is a primary way to progress through the game. You will also earn experience points, acquire valuable items, and influence the fate of the Commonwealth depending on your actions.

Types of Quests in Fallout 4

In Fallout 4, there are three types of quests: Main, Side, and Miscellaneous quests. Main Quests follow the game's storyline and focuses on the protagonist's search for their missing son, Shaun, and their involvement in the conflicts surrounding the Institute, the Railroad, the Brotherhood of Steel, and the Minutemen. Side quests are not essential in completing the main storyline but these quests offer additional content and rewards. They often involve helping or interacting with various factions, settlements, or individuals across the Commonwealth. Miscellaneous Quests are a form of side quest but it has smaller objectives that doesn't form a complete storyline, but these quests provide opportunities for exploration and combat. These quests often involve fetching items, clearing out enemies in specific locations, or resolving disputes between certain NPCs.

Apart from the three types of quests stated above, there are also Faction Quests, Companion Quests, Settlement Quests, and Radiant Quests. Each major faction in Fallout 4 offers its own series of quests that advance its agenda and storyline. Players would often have to encounter a certain NPC from a faction during a certain mission or after progressing through the game. Companion quests are given to players once their character gains enough affinity with a particular companion, and completing these quests can deepen your relationship and unlock new abilities or Perks. Settlement quests come from settlers of your settlement and it often requires you to defend the settlement, provide resources, or resolving internal disputes. And lastly, as mentioned before, Radiant quests are repeatable quests that generate randomly and can be repeated infinitely, which can provide you a steady source of experience and rewards.

Save Often in Fallout 4

In Fallout 4, the decisions you make in certain quests will have irreversible outcomes and it is recommended that you often save first before making critical decisions or engaging in potentially dangerous quests. Saving frequently will allow you to reload to a previous save and try again if something goes wrong or the outcome isn't what you wanted.
