    @ TES:Oblivion – The thieves Guild & The Shivering Isles (BEST DLC OF ALL TIME)



  2. Quaid Dalton on April 23, 2022 at 6:20 pm

    Any and every side quest in fallout 4?



  3. badreedine Djellali on April 23, 2022 at 6:21 pm

    Actually assassin’s creed 3 have a lot of good side quest



  4. Tj Cecil on April 23, 2022 at 6:22 pm

    Can someone please make a Jules one per list mum joke compilation.🤣🤣🤣



  5. Mert Su on April 23, 2022 at 6:22 pm

    god this is some brutal sense of humor



  6. GibbyTheBeard on April 23, 2022 at 6:23 pm

    The No Place Like Home quest from The Witcher 3 is a main quesr, not a side quest.
    With so many amazing quests to choose from in that game, you chose one that did not match your criteria lmao.

    What is the name of the red haired girl? She is pretty cute.. i cant fint videos of her



  8. Hunor Szentpéteri on April 23, 2022 at 6:27 pm

    The side quest when you fight side by side with the forest spirit against a giant demon, in Middle Earth: Shadow of War.
    That was one hell of an epic quest. Really loved it.



  9. IronButterflydb on April 23, 2022 at 6:28 pm

    The Homestead missions of Assassin’s Creed 3, particularly the ones where you get the miner and the huntress hitched.



  10. Meister Marius on April 23, 2022 at 6:29 pm

    Witcher 3 is basically side quest and the greatest ive ever played the Main Quest is good to but the way its connected to the great side quest makes the total game for me so lit.



  11. David Stowers on April 23, 2022 at 6:29 pm

    No doubt Kafei and Anju from Majora’s Mask is the GOD of side quests. I’ll fight you on it.



  12. Reimi Sugimoto on April 23, 2022 at 6:32 pm

    The Tarrey Town sidequest in Breath of the Wild will always be my favorite.



  13. Joseph Blevins on April 23, 2022 at 6:34 pm

    I wouldn’t say that it’s one of the best side quests ever, but it was really satisfying when you get to the conclusion. Fallout 4: Nick Valentine’s loyalty mission. You have to travel around with Nick, collecting tapes that tell the story of a 200-year-old crime boss named Eddie Winter. Along the way you do some detective work, and eventually get into his bunker for a short talk, then boss fight with the man. Something about it just feels so good to me knowing that I was able to take down this centuries old criminal.



  14. The Ollon on April 23, 2022 at 6:37 pm

    you could have put nearly every side quest from the witcher 3 on this list



  15. Jason Restucci on April 23, 2022 at 6:38 pm

    Mass effect 2 WAS the loyalty missions



  16. Kashish on April 23, 2022 at 6:38 pm

    Stop taking advantage of our love for Witcher 3,lol



  17. Alex Cooke on April 23, 2022 at 6:39 pm

    So we’re just going to forget about blood and wine? Detlaf’s quest was a departure from the main story and one of the best side quests in the game.



  18. Benjamin B on April 23, 2022 at 6:39 pm

    People often forget that the entire civil war story was a side mission in Skyrim. Ahh how I remember when meeting the imperials was under the miscellaneous section…



  19. galty1987 on April 23, 2022 at 6:40 pm

    If Skyrim isn’t on this list then we all get to kick Cleary in the bollocks x



  20. MrRiddler6 on April 23, 2022 at 6:40 pm

    i would have the identity thief side mission on batman arkham city instead of pyg . to find out it was hush and the reason why he did it, to get back at his most hated enemy and former childhood friend bruce wayne and what makes it a kick in the balls, he gets way with it. having to wait till arkham knight to take him down for good.



  21. Arash HN on April 23, 2022 at 6:42 pm

    I mean, everyone knows the true number 1 on the list is Baron’s sidequest from The Witcher 3



  22. Bruce Whine on April 23, 2022 at 6:43 pm

    The Anju and Kafei quest from Majoras Mask best be number 1



  23. Superior Troodon on April 23, 2022 at 6:47 pm

    I hope they do a commenters edition and i hope they talk about breath of the wild. Botw has tons of cool and heart warming side missions but my personal favorite is the terry town series. It’s a touching story where you help to build not only a new town, but you forage new bonds and beautiful moments.



  24. Leo Howard on April 23, 2022 at 6:49 pm

    List of 10 that starts at 9 🤨



  25. Mathias Kristensen on April 23, 2022 at 6:50 pm

    You missed the best side quest of all time "A return to your roots" from Skyrim



  26. Master Chef on April 23, 2022 at 6:52 pm

    I wouldn’t say it’s better (but still really GOOD) is the genoharadan quest



  27. Kinglik7 on April 23, 2022 at 6:54 pm

    What is up with people and Arkham Knight?!?! You’d think some people thought it was trash! I think it’s the best one. And definitely not “clunky” gameplay. Still love ya, though, Jules.



  28. Michael Bugner on April 23, 2022 at 6:55 pm

    I disagreed about everyone one of these quests being better than the main story until you got to the mass effect loyalty missions. But then you pointed out tali’s as being the best. So I had to go right back to disagreeing.



  29. GBLN on April 23, 2022 at 6:55 pm

    The just cause 4 danger rising was alot better than the main story



  30. 17th Colossus on April 23, 2022 at 6:55 pm

    Wat about the shangrila missions of far cry 4



  31. FatherGucci on April 23, 2022 at 6:57 pm

    From The Ground Up is way better than the story of botw



  32. Mustafa Pop25 on April 23, 2022 at 6:58 pm

    1- borderlands 2
    2- witcher 3
    3- dragon age inquistion



  33. Bruno P on April 23, 2022 at 6:59 pm

    The best Tali sidequest mission is when you bring Legion along with you on the quest.



  34. Etrostormborn12 on April 23, 2022 at 7:06 pm

    It has been a hot while since I played the Witcher 3 but I am sure that the quest you mentioned is the main story lol. Yes you have the option before the drinks begin where you can say no thanks I need sleep we have a big world deciding fight in the morning, so yes there is a way out of it but its still part of the main story. not really a side quest



  35. Ms Creative Insanity on April 23, 2022 at 7:08 pm

    I love that DA:I was the first thing to come up!!!



  36. Cooper Blackwell on April 23, 2022 at 7:09 pm

    Dark souls side quests are 100% side quests, some people are just not paitent enough for the long game



  37. Austin Reed on April 23, 2022 at 7:09 pm

    You liked Tali’s loyalty mission the best yet you put ALL the loyalty missions as #1??? Someone fire him, we need a new presenter the dude keeps making mistakes



  38. Tormented Zeus on April 23, 2022 at 7:09 pm

    All dwarf quest in the God of war, relatively



  39. Dark O-man on April 23, 2022 at 7:10 pm

    I took a shot every time they took a drink whilst playing Witcher 3 quest



  40. Mohamed Sheikh on April 23, 2022 at 7:12 pm

    Sky Fortress – Just Cause 3



  41. Retr0J on April 23, 2022 at 7:13 pm

  42. Kabalyst on April 23, 2022 at 7:14 pm

    Not Place Like Home is not a sidequest you dummy its part of the main questline jesus. I was already mad at the dumb clickbaity title but figured hey maybe a few sidequest I missed but obviously you just talk about moments you like in game without really caring if it fits into the video or not.



  43. Ryan Bennett on April 23, 2022 at 7:15 pm

    Isn’t No Place Like Home part of the main story?



  44. Jackson Mitton on April 23, 2022 at 7:16 pm

    Ah, mass effect 2… Good times.



  45. Polish God on April 23, 2022 at 7:16 pm

    Tower full of Mice from Witcher 3 was amazing as well. That atmosphere, Damn…



  46. Jason Hawkins on April 23, 2022 at 7:17 pm

    From The Ground Up – Breath of the Wild



  47. Bully Maguire on April 23, 2022 at 7:17 pm

    Baron’s quest from Witcher 3 is some of the most emotional and best written quest in gaming history



  48. Bspagz on April 23, 2022 at 7:17 pm

    How about the casino side mission in San Andreas



  49. Joshua Dillard on April 23, 2022 at 7:18 pm

    I would date Joules



  50. James Power on April 23, 2022 at 7:19 pm

    How can you include Mass Effect 2 but not lair of the shadow broker!
