    To see how many side quest you have completed go to your pip boy-data-stats-quest

    In order for a quest to count it cant be a main story mission or a quest from a faction.

    Quest that are given to you by people that aren't part of factions are counted as side quest.

    To find them easily go to any of the main cities and talk to anyone with names. Some of them will give you quest. Sometimes while you are walking around you will find a new radio station, they can give you side quests.

    Here is a list of quest for fallout 4 http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_4_quests.
    Look under side quest for a list of what quest you need.
    Also some of those quest are miscellaneous which do not count.

    Master DarqueI have 21 side quests completed and the achievement has not unlocked for me. Did anyone else have this issue?
    Posted by Master Darque on 21 Jun 23 at 13:20
    LuckyDay21@master I seem to be having the same issue. I've been popping off every other Achievement just fine, but this is one I'm not getting for whatever reason. I have completed almost this entirely list, and trophy still has not popped yet. On Xbox X as of September, 2023.

    iShaddow GVThis is so damn ridiculous. My stats say I have completed nearly 30 side quests and still no achievement – so having same issue as both Master Darque and Jiffym12 above. Was looking at the game's forum and there's people not able to unlock story related achievements since 2016.

    EDIT: I started the Far Harbor DLC with my stats saying I have completed 30+ and still nothing, unbelievable, this is literally my last achievement for the base game.
