"Rescue Tandi from the raiders"? "Destroy the source of the mutants"? "Become a porn star"? "Stop the Enclave"? This sounds more like things on a to-do list than actual quests. And these types of titles were kind of revived in the form of Fallout 4 radiant quests (eg. Trapper Attack on LOCATION NAME, Help Defend LOCATION NAME, Stop the raiding at LOCATION NAME, etc). I mean, there's hardly any flair to these titles compared to the quests in the FPS Fallout games. Why couldn't Interplay and Black Isle come up creative titles such as The Replicated Man, Aba Daba Honeymoon, or The Last Voyage of the USS Constitution? I know it's not that important of a detail, but I still believe that a proper RPG should have memorable quests with memorable titles. What do you guys think?

You're not wrong. The Pip-Boy 2000 even has a "Things to do" list with the main quest on it. I think it's because the game doesn't really have a way to track progress within quests in the UI, so they made the names as descriptive as possible.
