Gamerescape's wiki has a pretty good listing of how various content and features get unlocked. For anyone skipping unimportant sidequests, I suggest checking this list to see if you're unlocking everything you want to:

Not everything listed there is equally important (for instance, some of the minions it lists I don't care much about) but for any feature or content you do care about, it should show how to get it. You can figure out from that which sidequests are important and which aren't.
