I think it's fun

[SeaJayX]

Omg laughing so hard.

Thank you op.

for me this was the single most disappointing aspect of me3. it's as if they weren't even trying anymore.

I actually found it pretty cool.
Gives you a sort of more general feel of crisis. It's not just you with problems and direct tasks, but others dealing with things that you just might be able to help with, should you encounter it.

And I think this was one of the best parts of the game. There were "traditional" quests in the game, but having these"eavesdrop" quests were there for people who explored and paid attention.

Yeah, it's pretty lazy. At least back in ME2 when you overheard someone with a problem you'd actually ask them about it and tell them you'd look into it for them.

That's how normal people behave.

The krogan asking about fish in the Presidium was an eavesdrop quest.

Walking around in miniscule hubs is "exploring and paying attention"? Haha, oh wow!

While that strip is hilarious and I love VG Cats in general, I actually enjoyed the eavesdropping quests. It was initially frustrating to turn them in and randomly remembering a particular person having a particular problem does require some suspension of belief, but once I figured it out, they were fun.

I'd agree to say, the first few times he/she did it. The fact that the quest mechanic happened as often as it did kind of added a creepiness to it, though. Shep sort of built a reputation after a while. I like the idea to a point, it's just the quantity that grated the enjoyment. Like bringing out the good china every day. Except, creepy good china.

Or something.

No Chris, It's just lazy. Exploring and actually having a discussion is a lot more interesting than exploring and eavesdropping on someone.

Hahaha All in good fun it turned Shep into Oprah!

I paid attention.  Then I got lost from the lack of a good journal system.  One of the worst ones was getting Aria's crew together.  I remember I had to go online and look at the messageboards to figure out where to go.

It would have been better if they led to something other than simple fetch quests, but it was hardly game breaking. I actually found it quite heroic that my Shepard would go out of his way to improve the morale of each species... even if the means to doing so were all the damn same...

Ah well. ME1 had the Mako that most people hated (not me), and now ME3 has these fetch quests. Nothing new here!

this^^^^^

In fact, i just scanned all the planets that were available and dumped the inane objects off when i returned to the citadel.  when other systems appeared it was a case of scanning, then doing a few quests and dumping more objects off on my second visit to the citadel.

I gave up using the journal mid way through my first play through.  The only time i use it is to see if i have any outstanding **** that needs done before i get to the point of no return.

Indeed? Please tell me what I like on a pizza or what ice cream I prefer while you are at it.

I'm sorry you didn't like it and found it lazy, but that I do is MY opinion, not yours.

[Wulfram]

The main problem I had with the eavesdrop quest is that they're a poor fit with having those damn annoying news stories constantly going on in the background.

We really needed a renegade interrupt option to shut that guy up. Particularly when he calls Shepard disgraced.

I wouldn't say it was one of the best, but, it was definitely a nice change of pace from the rest of the game, and provide good distraction and exploration. So many times Developers forget to including proper pacing and distractions in their big games.

are you sure about that? to me it was another red flag highlighting the fact BW were cutting every corner they could to get the game out on time and on budget. i believe you failed on both counts.

i would be really interested if the me3 team did a frank and honest game postmortem at a future GDC.
