Talk:Side Objectives/@comment-26199726-20180418152431/@comment-16241899-20180418154142

Actually, we had someone remove ALL special actions here stating that they are not side objectives, back then the definition was losened to include special actions as well.

And I think the reason why not all special actions are listed here is because some things listed under "special actions" on the mission stats are remarks how the main objective was completed, for example "delivered Lady Boyle to Lord Brisby" if she was spared. Those are actions you come across inevitably while playing the mission, because, well, that is your actual task. The special actions that are listed here are the little nice additions you can find and do, but can also go completely unnoticed.

Edit: Basically, there are three possible ways to get listed as special action

1. how the main objective was dealt with

2. side objectives

3. peculiar little actions you can discover

This page lists only the latter two
