I'm just worried for timed- side quests... its interesting but that would prove to be annoying in the long run...

i like the idea of timed sidequests. it makes alot of sense really seeing as the universe is under attack

Yeah, but that means if you get said side quest, you NEED to finish it ASAP or else you'll lose it forever... that sucks. You can't really control then when you want to do it.

I see it though as a minor gripe. I'm worried how it will work out...
also they state the amount of side quests you get is ridiculous, which is daunting...

Well I'm thinking the reasoning behind it is to make it harder to get higher war assets to get the perfect ending.

Oh ffs bioware.

I fail to see the issue here. Side mission in Mass effect 1 had no connection to Saren's plot and Mass Effect 2's side mission had nothing to do with the suicide mission either.

They mention that in the review, things have never been THIS bad... and yet you're still doing fetch quests

What RPG isn't like that? For example:

--In Dragon Age: Origins you still do petty quests (i.e. "fetch me this, then go here") when the land and soon the world is being overrun by the Blight.

--In Skyrim you still do petty quests (i.e. "fetch me this, then drop it off here") when World-Eater Alduin has returned; more or less, symbolizing the end of the world.

Same goes for World of Warcraft, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, KoTOR, Fable etc. etc. The list goes on and on. Would I have liked the side quest to tie directly into the war? Yes. Did I expect them to? No. Because nearly EVERY RPG has the lead and the lead's friends doing petty things during "End of the World times".

Ah too true...
I think IGN has poisoned my mind. 

[Gabey5]

yes random side quests that have no connection to the plot suck

a good side quest was the quarian indentured servant and the asari who lost her daughter in citadel attack. A small thing but it connected it to the full story.

If people just send me on random fetch quests that have nothing to do with the galactic war even if it is in a small way, like someone who lost their family in the first wave of the reaper attack and they need my help with X, i would feel more connected.

Wait a second... by walking around, one can obtain side quests just by overhearing people speak. This results a large amount of side quests being started. That would be annoying for the sake of journal clutter alone, but now side quests are also timed. Therefore, by just walking through the Citadel for some main quest I want to do, I can instantly be flooded with several side quests that I should do immediately or else I lose them.

Pre-cancel ordered!

[Squallypo]

 as long as those sidequest has their own stories like in kotor 1 example: the trial issue at dantooine helping the family murderer stuff , although i think tht has to do with the progress of the game? cant remember anymore.. i love kotor 1  i want kotor 3 , hear that bioware kotor 3 k?

If it's stupid why bother with the genre then? lol

[fatalfeline]

Well if you're annoyed with petty sidequests you can just NOT do them and play a crapload of MP instead. XD

[Apollo Starflare]

Quite often it's actually nice to have a quest that is completely different to change things up a bit, don't see how all the side quests in ME2 could have tied in with the collectors. Quite liked how they made some of them little side stories about Merc groups, in fact I wouldn't mind if they were more fleshed out if anything. Most fetch quests are a boring though.

Random pointless fetch quests are fine for certain types of games, but in my opinion they have no place in ME3.

[Naltair]

Why do people dislike Chobot's character? I am interested to see what she does and interact with her. It just seems like people are super quick to pre-judge a character without even playing the game.

Ok Bioware the joke is up all this talk about Space Edition owners being under a NDA is now a big fat joke right . how can they be under a NDA and IGN is not tell me

Or ANY RPG that has some force endangering the world, with the possibility to bring about the end of it; like most RPG's. (I do agree with you to some degree, by the way). During a zombie apocalypse I don't want to help Mankirk find his wife.

Putting the mech part in first person, kinda lame.

[Naltair]

I will help Makrik find his wife, then probably shoot her because she is probably a zombie.

It's a game where being required to complete frivolous tasks to gain war assets detracts from the seriousness of the situation.

With such a big vehicle, the camera angles would get a bit weird especially when walking inside of a building.

How the heck are you supposed to see the little Cerberus dudes in front of you if the huge hulking Atlas is in third person?

Panning the camera out. Although in tight quarters I guess that won't work, like Blahdog says.

But you're NOT REQUIRED! You can play multiplayer for assets to make up for missed fetch quests or you can go through the game without all the assets... things might not turn out so well though.
