Side Quests in Rogue Trader are optional quests that the player can choose to complete or not, and still complete the game and achieve an Ending. Completing Side Quests is rewarded with XP, favors, equipment, and maybe the opportunity to recruit a new companion. For this reason, even though Side Quests are not necessary, completing them can help players a lot to ease up the requirement of completing Main Quests.

Types of Quests in Rogue Trader
- Main Quests - Main Quests are mandatory events that revolve around the Main Character. These events will naturally happen as players explore which will eventually lead to an Ending. Main Quests may offer different paths and outcomes, and even though no specific result is set in stone, it's still vital to choose one for the story and, or character progression.
- Side Quests - While Side Quests are optional these are still important as the reward for completing them will help you level up your character and give you valuable equipment that will ease up the completion of the mandatory ones. However, players can finish a playthrough and possibly miss these optional quests, thus locking them out of the experience and rewards.
- Companion Quests - Although we haven't received any confirmation regarding complete Quests in Rogue Trader, we are hoping that we will be seeing similar Companion Quests in-game. It is highly likely that this will be implemented to make the game experience richer and unique. This will create more personality and will broaden the story background of the unique companions available in Rogue Trader. Companion Quests are unique to each character and will usually tackle their personal issues, goals, and other advances.
