10 Video Game Side Missions That Stole The Show
3. The Dark Brotherhood - Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
What makes The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion such a special game is how creative most of the side missions are. The developers embraced the funky dialogues and wacky gameplay mechanics with some of the most imaginative side missions in the series.
Oblivion's Dark Brotherhood questline is not only one of the best side missions in the game, but one of the best in the entire series. Starting when the player with that infamous 'Your killing has been observed by forces unknown...' when a player kills an innocent NPC, the storyline that revolves around the Dark Brotherhood is one of the most memorable adventures you` can experience.
Filled with charismatic characters that dish out quests ranging from boarding a Pirate ship to attending a party that involves killing all the attendees stealthily, these missions are still fondly remembered by fans to this day.
Bethesda aren't especially known for writing that is particularly, well, strong, but the Dark Brotherhood side quest is undoubtedly one of the most dramatic and emotional journeys fans of the company will ever find themselves going on.
