There aren't quite as many quests as there are in Oblivion, but Bethesda says you will have lots to do. You can talk to the residents you encounter with a multiple choice menu system, similar to classic Fallout (not like Oblivion's). There are also lots of little activities and brief Fedex-style missions that don't register as formal sidequests, but you can pursue them if you want. When you do a get formal sidequest, the game no longer interrupts you. Remember how a window explaining the quest would pop in Oblivion? Now, the title of the quest fades up and out on the screen without pausing the game.
Your Pip-Boy plays a larger role than before, with quest information, and other nice touches. Communication networks have been established in the wastelands, so you can tune into "Galaxy News Radio" and listen to 40 different golden oldie-type songs though Pip-Boy as you go about your business. The songs are all in the vein of "Maybe" and "A Kiss to Build a Dream On." Furthermore, there's a DJ who does newscasts. If you become famous or notorious, the DJ will even report on your activities.
