Appendix I Notes and Clarifications

The Sideways Achievement/Trophy

The Sideways Achievement/Trophy requires you to “complete 10 Side Quests,” as tracked by the Side Quests Completed counter on your Journal’s Stats page. Because of the sheer number and variety of quests, it can be confusing to figure out which will count toward this goal.

In short: The Main Quest, Daedric Quests, and major Faction Quests do not count, nor do Miscellaneous Objectives. The table below lists all of the quests that do count toward this award (and the prefix that appears in this guide):

Hero of the People Achievement/Trophy

This keeps track of how many Miscellaneous Objectives you’ve completed. So, the more of those you’ve grayed out, the better! Miscellaneous Objectives that are part of a chain (such as those for Dungeon Quest: The Legend of Red Eagle) each count individually toward this reward.

Oblivion Walker Achievement/Trophy

This award is unlocked only after you’ve acquired 15 Daedric Artifacts (also listed at the start of the Daedric Quest chapter). It is important to note that this award triggers only after you receive the artifact in question; some Daedric Quests can be finished without claiming their artifact. If this occurs, it may become impossible to receive this reward! However, artifacts you’ve used, lost, sold, or dropped still count toward your total. The complete list of relevant artifacts is listed below:
