Most games gives the player a single main objective at a time, completing which either results in victory or lets you advance to the next level. Others give you a list of objectives that need to be completed before you can move on. This trope is about games that give you several objectives but let you choose in which order to complete them and award you the victory once a certain percentage has been done, meaning that you never have to complete the tasks you particularly dislike. This is not to be confused with bonus objectives, which may give additional rewards but are irrelevant to story progression. Another variation is found in games that don't give the players distinct objectives but instead a single objective that can be completed piece-by-piece (e.g. collect hidden items, conquer neighboring lands, etc.), and declare them victorious after the objective is mostly complete. An important feature of this, however, is that the total number of such pieces is limited. This concept is related to Cash Gate, where you have a single overarching objective (collect money) and may not need to complete all subordinate objectives to meet it. The main difference between this trope and Scoring Points is that in the latter, there is usually no hard limit on how many points can be gained, except when the winning condition actually is "be the first to get this many points". With this trope, however, there is a known limited number of things to be collected or completed, but you don't have to catch them all to win or to proceed to the next stage. This trope is a mild form of Story Branching closely related to Do Well, But Not Perfect. Contrast Gotta Catch Them All and Arbitrarily Serialized Simultaneous Adventures, where you get to pick the order in which levels are played but you still need to complete every objective before you're allowed to proceed. A staple of the Collect-a-Thon Platformer. Contrast also 100% Completion. |

Legend of Mana doesn't have a main plot, instead being comprised of a whole slew of self-contained subplots involving specific casts of characters. Each consists of a series of related sidequests, and three of these subplots are more important than the others (marked by a specific icon underlying that subplot's quest's title screens). To unlock the Final Boss the player only needs to finish one of them. | |

You can only obtain the most hidden ending of Bloodborne (the jury is still out whether it is the "best" ending) by consuming three One Thirds of an Umbilical Cord before final battle. There are actually four of these items in the game, but two are Permanently Missable, depending on your actions, and one is hidden in a very hard-to-get-to location. | |

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII has five main quests that Lightning must complete in the thirteen days before The End of the World as We Know It. It also has a vast number of sidequests that Lightning can also complete. Completing quests will reward Lightning with stat boosts and postpone the aforesaid apocalypse for up to twelve days, with The Very Definitely Final Dungeon unlocked on the thirteenth day once all main quests are complete. Completing enough sidequests* There is enough leeway to fail all of the sidequests for which failure is possible (and the one that you can't complete until a New Game+) and still achieve this before Day 13 will unlock a fourteenth day, pushing back the Final Boss for long enough to explore a Bonus Dungeon and fight an Optional Boss. Doing this on a New Game Plus and beating said Optional Boss will unlock the True Final Boss, thus defying Bragging Rights Reward for the prizes at the end of the Bonus Dungeon. | |

Shattered Union battles take place on maps of the region being contested, with several cities on the map starting under the control of the defender. Each city is worth a certain number of points, and the attacker has a limited number of turns to capture enough cities to reach the target number of points to win. In most cases, the points goal is less than the sum of the points of all cities on the map, meaning the attacker doesn't have to capture every city to win. | |

Saints Row: Throughout the series, the optional Snatch activity tasks you with driving a certain number of prostitutes from deep in a rival gang territory to a safe location. However, because rival gangsters are more than happy to shoot the ladies rather than let you have them, there are usually a few more of them in any instance of this activity than is needed to complete it (sadly, you don't get any bonuses for "over-delivering"). In the final story mission of Saints Row: The Third, STAG stirs up trouble at three locations throughout Steelport. You only need to pacify two of them before proceeding to the next stage of the mission. |

Assassin's Creed had a more formulaic setup by having a bureau head assign you to five different assignments to investigate a certain target before assassinating him. You only needed to accomplish three to proceed to the assassination mission and move on, but if you proceeded to finish off every mission, you not only got an achievement for accomplishing every mission but also get bonus experience so you could get extra upgrades like more health. | |

The operations system in Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation works this way: each mission is subdivided into several (three to nine) localized operations, wherein the Garuda team must complete certain objectives (provide close air support, destroy enemy planes, etc.). Completing an operation frees up its surviving allied troops to assist Garuda on other ops, so the choice of the first one is important. Winning a mission requires beating about two thirds of the available ops; ops can be failed if neglected for too long, but as long as the mission winning condition can still be met, it will continue. | |

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: During the gang war minigame, where CJ has to defeat three increasingly well-armed waves of rival gangsters to take over a 'hood they control, the game counts a wave as complete after the second-to-last enemy in it is killed — just in case the very last one runs off to the other side of the city because the pathfinding AI in this game is, uh, not great. Also, in order to unlock the final missions of the main storyline, at least 35% of the 'hoods in Los Santos must be under Grove Street Families control. | |

The original Mass Effect has five rather tedious Collection Sidequests (asari writings, salarian medallions, turian insignias, Prothean discs, and useful minerals), which are completed by scanning or manually exploring optional planets. Thankfully, there are actually more collectibles of each sort in the game than is required to mark the respective assignment as completed and to receive your one-off completion XP. You do still get the individual XP and cash rewards if you find the remaining collectibles afterwards, however. | |

Several of the 3D entries of the Super Mario Bros. saga are focused on collecting Plot Coupons (Power Stars, Green Stars, Star Coins, Power Moons); however, not all of them are necessary to collect in order to reach the Final Boss. For example, Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy 2 have each 120 power stars, but in both cases only 70 of them are necessary to reach the final level and the ending. Super Mario Sunshine is an exception; it requires collecting the seventh Shine Sprite of each of the seven major areas, and you'll need the first Shine at the airstrip to open the rest of the game. The rest of the Shine Sprites are optional. | |

In Heroine's Quest, you have to obtain the two Eyes of Thiassi to confront the Big Bad. Each eye has a protector, who will tell you to get the endorsement of at least half the named NPCs in his city. It doesn't matter which half, so you are free to pick which sidequests to perform. Depending on class, you can also Take a Third Option by challenging one of the guardians to a duel, or for the thief class, sneak in at night and steal both of the artifacts. | |

Shadows over Camelot is a cooperative game with a variety of one-time and repeatable quests, which grant white swords when completed or black swords when failed, plus other benefits or penalties. The players win when they collect 12 swords, a majority of them white, but random events advance various quests towards failure, so gameplay involves choosing which quests to focus on completing and which to write off as strategic losses. Players can even purposely lose quests to hasten the endgame once they have enough white swords to win. | |

Most levels in the Thief games allow you to finish the level after pocketing just a portion of the total available loot. On the lower difficulties the loot requirements are exceedingly forgiving, but even on the hardest you usually have some leeway. Of course, since the loot you find is used to finance your equipment purchases for the following mission, it's recommended to find as much as you can, and many players make it a point of pride to justify Garret's legendary reputation by not leaving a mission until they've completely stripped it of valuables. | |

Nevertheless, the game is not over until all fifteen person-of-interest markers (potential victims or false alarms) have been removed from the board, giving you a chance to rescue the remaining three tenants (provided they didn't already perish) even after you've technically already won. | |

It's functionally impossible to salvage 100% of a ship in Hardspace: Shipbreaker, but that's okay: the final salvage goal (at which you'll get mastery points and Lynx Tokens) is usually at about 90% salvage, and the Mini Me sticker, which is the final possible reward for salvaging a ship, is available at 95% salvage. Every ship has at least one component that can't be salvaged completelynote Mackerels have the cockpit glass, which can't be separated from the nanocarbon around it without destroying some of the glass itself; Geckos have the coolant pipes between the ECU and the Reactor, which have to be at least partially melted to get access to both of those; Javelins have the Aerobridge, which can't be properly disconnected from the nanocarbon at the end of the bridge, so the Mini Me sticker is an indicator that you've done very well. | |
