Side quests

Discovering a side quest in the open world in אלפא-2.^[1]

Side quests are quests with a variety of objectives that can pop-up while adventuring in the world.^[2]^[1]

Side quests give a variety of rewards and can lead into larger quest chains.^[3]^[1]
Some side quests can be hidden.^[1]

Side quests- these are a variety of quests with a variety of objectives that exist in the actual world itself: so they can be hidden in various ways; and so during your adventures, you want to pay attention around you cuz one might pop up on your map and if you're lucky you might notice it and be able to obtain it and it might lead into a really big quest chain.^[1] – Tony Garcia

Side quests will spawn based on player activity and world states in a similar manner to commissions.^[2]^[3]

Just like any of our spawning systems, like with what Tyler is getting at with the commission board, they all are reading world states to determine what is allowed to spawn and where it should spawn and things like that. So, different side quests can appear depending on the world state.^[3] – Skott B

Side quests are completed by turning the quest in to the designated quest giver NPC.^[4]
