Xbox 360 Difference between Story Quest and Missions?

[krakken03]

Hey guys...Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what the difference is between Story Quests and Missions? I mean, if it's a mission, isn't it related to the story? Which one progresses the game, or do they both?

I know the map on Far Cry 3 can be super misleading if you look at the legend. The yellow markers are the missions, which are part of the main story/campaign that progresses the game. The blue markers indicate side quests. I have no idea why they call them 'Story Quests' in the legend on the map. These are fun extras and will get you some great XP, and are generally quick and easy to complete. If you want to get more skill points, this is a great way to get them. Hope this helps!

The Story quests will advance the story, but the side missions are everything from the cargo delivery missions to the hunting missions at outposts. The side missions will not advance the story but they are still very fun to do, espesially after you have completed the game.
