Hi Matt, no you won't make Quake in an afternoon! You can make the simple game in the tutorial in that short of a time. But an actual game will take a lot more planning, artwork and strategy to design levels, gameplay and so on. This is all above and beyond just what the engine does. Yes you can make a game like Quake or Half-Life, it just may take you 6 months to a year. My current project may not be finished till the end of summer.
