Are all ally quest lines as infuriatingly boring as Beckett's?

Everything is opinion.
IMO, his was bleh. I got back into playing after 2 years. I haven't done any new Ally quests.
Do them for the rewards.

Probably, go here, kill that, come back, repeat. Until the last mission, which is an actual storyline (ish).

Can't all be winners. For Bethesda, 15% success rate of good writing/story is considered quality work.

There's actually only one other ally with a similar questline and it's not really much better. In fact, I'd say it's about the same except the finale is a lot better than Beckett's last missions. I got lost as hell in that damn underground parking lot BS.

But that pita quest is offset by the fact she now resides in your CAMP and constantly spams you with, "Have my babies!"

I tend to leave them open and do them when I'm in the area for other reasons. I find it more interesting to walk and run between places so that I get lots of random encounters.
As another poster mentioned only two allies offer side quests before they start with the usual radiant quests.
Radiant quest givers tend to send you to the same set of locations to retrieve things or eliminate threats.

If you're looking for excitement I have a vital tip for you; check outside your window. Go live your life instead of playing video games. If you're that bored live a different way. Or watch a movie. Then touch some grass. Take up an athletic pursuit - like mountain climbing.

Games are limited light boxes that will eventually bore anyone who does not love repetition or some facet of the doing, repeatedly.

I hop on my Bass Tracker and Touch Bass!

Grass just gives you ringworms.

There are only 2 and we know how bad Bethesda is at writing. Let it go.

I love side quests, but these ally side quests have me literally die inside.

It's hard for me to figure out how to take this form someone lurking the Steam discussion boards of a 6 year old game on a Friday morning.
