Out of the Fire, timed?

[DuaneDibbleySMEG]

I've started this questline and don't want to fail it. But it's just to damn hard at my current level (13). Is it timed? Failed one earlier because of this and had to load an earlier save.

It was a Minutemen quest. Had to save a settler from a raider gang. Minor quest, But annoying, none the less. Also, do you know if I can join BoS and if I change my mind later, join another faction?

i have not run into anything that was timed in the game... only triggered 'as if it where' when you pace certain triggers...

which is sad, like the pre-game stuff you have to wade through, you can stay there for a long while, the only time the bomb 'falls' is if you try to exit sanctuary behind the military or when you are on the vault platform.

edit:
you can join all factions

edit again:
nice name you picked, good show.

Nice one. Yeah, the 'tutorial' was a bit long. Useful as well though.

I don't think any quests besides the settlement defence quests are timed, at least when it comes to the quest failing.

Oh, yeah the Minutemen "radiant quests" (the help this settlement for whatever reason) that show up in the "miscellaneous" quests are timed.

As far as I know, you can join any and all factions and do their quests up to a certain point before the other factions become locked/hostile"

I liked the first misc quest. Mama Murphy's Jet fix. I helped her out with a hit.

i ignore radiant quests, they do not add anything and have no effect on the game at all... even the initial stuff really doesnt matter that much since you can bypass those to the next actual quest in a given questline.

first playthrough, after leaving the vault, took me maybe an hour to end the game... questlines are absolutely boring and do not make any overall sense to the game or the series even.

the sight is useless too... lame crud

So did I, more than once ;-)

but now I'm thinking I'm going to let her sober up for a bit and maybe try my charisma roll against convincing her to quit chems. If I fail and forget to save first I'm gonna get her high as the roof in Sanctuary that she's always showing up on nad let nature take it's course.

"Sure Mama Murphy, you are a Power Armor Titan with a Jet Pack. Fly away you Crazy Rainbow" LOL

:D Let her be with Lucy in the Sky, with Diamonds, I say!

Yeah, her 'sight' is amusing though.
