Just now getting into the game for real. Some questions regarding quests:

– Are there "temporary" quests, i.e. quests that I can only pick up at certain points during the main quest and no longer later on? I got some exclamation marks on the map and am uncertain whether I should activate all of them now or if I can take my time and get back to them later.

– Do quests have an "expiration date"? I just took on the Quest of Little Red's bandits raiding Yatra and found it to be Level 15, which is too high for me. Instead of waiting for dusk as the quest says, I fast traveled to another quests location. Will the quest fail after some time or can I just level up and return later and then meditate until dusk at Yatra?

– Do all "Persons in Distress" quests yield that much HP? I freed the Scoia'tael merchant today and got 150xp, if those quests all are that good a source I shall continue doing them.

Apart from that, does anyone else find it sad that you don't get XP for failed quests? In some situations I find that because my choice contradicts the wish of the questgiver, the quest fails, which somehow makes the whole choice obsolete because it rewards only one option. Therefore I feel quite unrewarded for not sticking to the quest strictly but choosing my own reaction upon finding out what happens.

Thanks in advance!
