"You're running out of time to complete.." Quests Can expire?

[Sivarg]

I was exploring around when suddenly I saw in the top corner that I was "Running out of time to complete" something before it quickly vanished again. I was abit surprised, as I've played this game for 185 hours, and never encountered this message before. So quests can expire?

Here's a list of my current quests, some ive had for very long and never done: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=57948♥♥♥♥

Can anybody help me? Anybody know which quest will expire of those I have?
I've only got 1 misc quest.

As far as I know, only minutemen quests.

The kidnapping and raiders quests are radiant quests that can expire after a certain time.

Kidnappings obv, but also ghoul clearing and raider clearing quests ( so minute men quests)

[Sparhawk122]

Gawd. How annoying.

[Sivarg]

Thanks guys, gotta do them as fast as possible then haha! Had several ingame days I guess, all dat exploring..

[Adaarable]

At least you can turn down the brotherhood radiant quests... and they have no time limits... this is why I prefer the brotherhood over the minutemen.

If you finish minutemen quests youre automatically given another minuteman quest I HATE THAT! Let me CHOOSE to take the quest. So I settle for getting 3 minutement quests, and do the task required BUT don't turn it in so i never get bugged again.

So I failed the one, what are the consequences, does anybody know? Destroyed parts of the settlement? Happiness decrease?

[Stabbity]

I know failing these radiant minutemen quests does NOT destroy the settlement.

I'm NOT sure if failing kidnapping quests causes a loss of a settler (i think it does), and not sure about happiness.

The best thing to do is after turning in the quests to preston wait for him to say something else has come up or something along that line and then quickly run away from him so that it completes the quest but dosen't register the next. I always quicksave before turning them in so I can reload if the other quest does register.

Well I found a named NPC at The Slog who was dead, so possibly could be from that, she also had her arm lost, laying near her. She was one of the NPCs there you could really talk to, so abit surprised to find her dead.

Kidnappings yes, but Ghoul Clearing and Raider clearing no they will stay active, I had some I didn't do for a long while and didn't expire

They do. I did the kidnapping one first, then went to the raider clearing one, I had already discovered the place, fast traveled there, and it told me annoyingly enough It had expired and I didn't do it in time, removing the quest from my log and saying it failed. Despite the fact that there were raiders all around me. So sadly, yes those expire too.

Hence why I posted again before: So I failed the one, what are the consequences, does anybody know? Destroyed parts of the settlement? Happiness decrease?

Nah, this was a raider base, down at the shores in the game, Beach something its called. Had to go clear it out of raiders because they were threathning my settlement.

If you look on my screenshot: Raider troubles at country crossing.

I'm gonna go check out CC and see if something has changed.
