Main quests
"Galaxy News Radio" can be skipped by a Speech check or by meeting Doctor Li in Rivet City directly. (If you skip this quest and talk to Three Dog to do this quest later, the reward will be a location for weapon stash.) "Scientific Pursuits" can be skipped by finding Vault 112 without meeting Doctor Li, but you will not receive the Scientific Pursuits Achievement. Another way to skip "Galaxy News Radio" is to find your father's holotapes in the Jefferson Memorial. "Rescue from Paradise" can be skipped with a Speech check, or by having the Child At Heart Perk.
Main quests with names in italics can be skipped through a speech check. This is the only way to skip Galaxy News Radio (other then through unintentional glitches), though Rescue from Paradise can also be skipped through use of the Child at Heart perk to convince Mayor MacCready to let the Lone Wanderer into Little Lamplight. Both quests can then be completed as a side quest at any time (unless the Lone Wanderer has begun the final quest), though Rescue from Paradise will not be given by MacCready after the Lone Wanderer is allowed into Little Lamplight, and must be started at Paradise Falls (unless MacCready gave the quest before being convinced to allow access into Little Lamplight).
