which line is the main quest in fallout 4
The main quest line in Fallout 4 is the story path about finding Shaun , starting with “Out of Time” and then moving through the central faction- related missions in the main story.
What counts as main quest
The clearest early main quests are:
- War Never Changes
- Out of Time
- When Freedom Calls
- Jewel of the Commonwealth
Where it branches
Later, Fallout 4’s main story starts branching into the big faction lines: Minutemen, Brotherhood of Steel, Railroad, and Institute.
Easy rule
If a quest is pushing you toward Shaun, the Institute, or a major faction decision , it’s part of the main storyline; if it’s about random settlements, companions, or optional errands, it’s usually a side quest.
In short: the “main quest” is the central Shaun story, with faction quests becoming part of it as the game goes on.
