In Fallout New Vegas, do I have to keep an eye on the time/date? Are there any events that happen after a certain amount of ingame time?

Can you for example miss something if you arrive to late in a certain place or don't finish a quest until a specific day?

I remember that in Fallout 1 or 2 (or both?) you were on a deadline and things could happen in the world without your interaction.

For the most part no. Some events will only resolve after a certain amount of time has been passed from a trigger, and you may occasionally need to let 3 days pass (or just wait in place 3 days) for a script reset or merchant restock, but there are no 'scheduled events' which require actual attention to the calendar.

A few quests can only be completed at night, or during the day, or at a certain time of day, but you can't 'miss' them, you'll merely need to wait for the time to roll around again.

Yes, there is one quest at Camp McCarran.

You need to find and disable an explosive before time runs out.

  • From what I read it's mainly not time-depent though, but triggers depending on if or if not you first talk to the base's commander (or leave the base).

  • That's correct. The quest is timed, in that you have 5 minutes from the conversation, but not time-sensitive - you can delay it indefinitely.
