Every gamer has gotten this type of quest. It's enough to make you want to want to put the game down and come back to it later. Literally a nightmare in the world of gaming.
This Video: Bethesda: We don't make quests like this at all. We also don't associate with the Fallout New Vegas DLC that is basically based around these kinds of quests.
Fallout New Vegas wasn’t made by Bethesda. It was made by Obsidian, Bethesda only published the game because they leased the rights to Fallout to Obsidian.
There's actually ONE GAME where the escort quest is really easy and useful. Day R survival after you unlock the boat you unlock a repeating side quest where some dude wants to travel to the other settlement which is usually easy to get to. HOWEVER you can just never bring him there and he stays in your gang the whole time. He has only ONE ATTACK and that is to pelt his enemies with fucking Molotovs which stack fire damage. Only down side is that he doesn't care if you also get hit
