does anyone know if there will be more side quest than fallout 3 because i felt that it need more like oblivion

It's been said somewhere in an interview that there'll be more quests.

There was a mention that there will be a lot more side quests.

ok thx thats good news

they said double but there shorter than the fallout 3 1's

There were like 17 sidequests in fallout 3, I really hope there's more than double.

lol there were a lot more than 17 but you barely could tell if something was a side quest........ like fix the pipes in megaton.... thats barley a side quest

I want some stealth based sidequests, like sneaking into a base unseen.. or stealing something.

I won't call "unmarked quests" sidequests.
It's either a main quest, side quest, repeatable quest or unmarked quest.

The quests are counted differently in NV than in FO3. The quests are supposed to be shorter, but with more parts and branches. I am not sure how all that shakes out until we get to play the game. Either way, give me lots of stuff to do and I will be happy.

man i hope they're not shorter. id rather have better side quest than more and shorter. i only felt like 8 side quest in FO3 were actually fun to do cause they had that dungeon feeling to them. i dont count quest like nuka cola challenge or replicated man

i agree, they've downplayed a lot about this game, they don't want to upstage FO3 too much, but as awesome as FO3 was, there were lots of faults and areas that needed improving, so far obsidian is adressing these issues, like better skill, perk and SPECIAL system, more weapons, weapons mods, more enterable buildings, bigger settllements, more npc's, better companion system, more quests, so they are aware that one big complaint about FO3 was a lack of official quests, sure FO3 had quests like collecting cameras or pre war books, and thats all fine, but we need the feel of more quests on the docket, the feeling of plenty of quests to do each playthrough, FO3 they tauted as 100 hours to explore the entire game and do all the quests, NV on the other hand pete hines and everyone else so far making the game has kept saying how huge it is and that there is 300+ hours of exploring etc. so i think it is gonna be more like oblivion as far as official quests, plus there is prob better repeatable quests, guarding the caravans or something. so i'm confident we'll have a good number of quests even though they say they are shorter, there is gonna be more to do in this game for sure than FO3. i'm pretty positive about that.

As someone else said, there is going to be more quests but they are shorter and I'm led to believe they connect to each other. Sounds interesting.

However, I am a little worried because one journalist who previewed the Quakecon demo said that even though the main quest missions are very interesting and creative, the side quests seemed very generic, and he claimed two people gave him near enough the exact same job. Hopefully those aren't full on side quests, just little odd jobs.

Despite this, I still have faith telling me Obsidan will provide us with many surprises and secrets throughout the course of the game.

They cant posibly be shorter than that Leo stall one where you get him off drugs. Seriously walk up to him and out of the blue your asking him about his drug habit and getting the key to his drug stash.

That's not really a 'side quest'. It's more of a misc (don't ask me to spell the whole thing -- I'm tired ) job the player can do to earn a few caps, or chems in that case.

By side quests, I think people generally mean missions that are added to our Pip-Boy.

i agree chriso, fallout 3 needed like twice as many quests. i always finshed all the quests before level 20 usually and thats without rushing, so twice as many quests sounds good.
