Should quests be more time sensitive?

No timed quests can go die in a fire.

I can tolerate the occasional '20 seconds to diffuse a bomb' quest where necessary if it makes sense in the context of the quest/story - but I never enjoy it.

If every quest in the game was timed I'd simply not play it. This is one of the reasons I never played the new XCom games, or Starcraft 2. Every mission either features a physical timer, or features some kind of race against the clock mechanic that forces you to rush, and the same reason I can't play Doom 2016, or Doom Eternal, as everything is based purely upon speed and you're punished for slowing down or trying to take your time.

It's also the reason why I absolutely detest Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts in Inquisition and side with the Mages every single time without fail.

I absolutely HATE being forced to rush in games. I like to adopt a very slow, methodical, strategic approach, exploring every corner, and interacting with everything I can interact with... and timed missions just force me to race to finish the objective, ignoring anything that is not directly in my path.

So no thank you.
