10 Video Game Side-Quests That Were Better Than The Main Story

10. The Ultimate Heist - Oblivion

The final mission in the Thieves Guild quest-line is the single best example of how to wrap up and entire side-quest storyline. Putting aside the fact that the entire quest-line is brilliant, the final heist is an absolute joy.

It is so meticulously planned and intricate that pulling it off feels like a momentous achievement. You break into the most secure location in the game, steal the titular Elder Scroll, and escape like it's nothing at all.

All that is without mentioning how the entire quest-line prior is building up to this quest, with you unwittingly stealing all the magical artefacts that you're going to have to use. It is probably the best example of a thieves guild quest done right is far more memorable than the end of the world palava that the main story deals with.
