Bes has nothing to do with endings, don't worry. Nor do any other 'failable' quests for that matter.

I hope that doesn't mean I'm not going to experience the true ending. I'm actually trying to rush through this first run of the game so I can apply the patches and start over.
Well, if you talked to Doctor and have 'Stash in Pripat' objective i your PDA, you must be able to get true ending without Bes.

I'm discovering new things as I progress which makes the game seem a little more sensical. One of the things that I found really confusing was that some of the objectives registered as failures on the screen when I was far far away in a different map. Then I realized that you're given a set (usually long) period of time to accomplish that goal. It was found on the PDA under "Tasks". So in STALKER time I had maybe 16 hours to "eliminate bandits from camp". So here I was constantly killing regenerating bandits at the Garbage, for example, wondering why the objective just wouldn't trigger.
Such objectives should trigger properly after patching. But yes, you have 24 hours to finish a random side quest. Actually, that's more than enough usually to finish like 10 of them, especially if you have a Moonlight equipped and knowledge of environment :) The peculiarity of these quests given by Barkeep, Duty and Freedom leaders is that after a certain amount of finished quests for each of them you get a nice prize - either a good weapon, armor, or rare artifact. Things you get for each quest from them are sometimes quite useful too. F.e. if you use 9x39 weapon, every quest for Voronin will give a good amount of 9x39 ammo and a few grenades for launcher.
