It makes me feel like an old lady in search of gossip material.

Well... the alternative is having to talk to all the people with an exclamation mark floating over their heads - how exactly is that better?

With the galaxy coming to a end you'd think people would be charging head first at you as you enter the Citadel to tell you all about these artifacts and tools to help.

That sounds kind of annoying. OTOH, I can see how being Shepard in a public space should be annoying.

Yeah, as I said: Overhearing something adds life to the Citadel. But then it's down to simply fetch, find person, hand over.

Now I understand that not every mission can be fleshed out, but there have been quite a few amongst these where I fully expected more than just firing up the scanner.

Right -- but this is just your expectations causing you trouble, rather than a problem with the content itself. I can see how that's Bio's fault, though. They should have used a different prefix for the recovery quests, assuming they had to be in the journal at all.

Also, there are these little bits where you take sides on the Citadel. Again, a nice touch that has been around since ME1. But now you can do these as sort of a runby attack, since everything's running on automatic.

I don't see how this implementation is a problem. Sure, you can do them as a runby. But you don't have to. I can skip though dialogues in ME1 too. It's just not quite as efficient as a runby.

The quests clearly were no great shakes anymore than the lost writings or insignias from 1 were great quests and they used the same basic mechanism and were also in the journal in the same way. This isn't a new ME3 issue it is an old issue that ME2 didn't have that they revived from ME1.

I don't know why this happens with every game. Fetch quests happen, people gripe about how they hate them and they rather have one good quest than 10 crappy ones (realistic or not to equate the effort).

It's just lazy

i want more face time.

i remember meeting and talking with NPCs in ME1 becasue i saw there faces and heard their voices. i cant remember waht i did to help garoths brother in ME1s little sidequest(prolly eaten by a maw er whatever) but i can tell you exactly where hes standing in the citadel towers and what he looks like. and thats what i mean by face time.

the ME3 eavsdropping quests do nothing for me. not a single one is worth remember. planet scanning is the dumbest thing in ME. i dont play ME so i can probe planets for resources or fetch quests.

i mean whose waiting for ME4 to get released so they can scan planets?!?!? NO ONE IS, BIOWARE!!!!

Getting the quest by eavesdropping doesn't bother me. But the scanning of the planet does. They could have done a lot with some of those missions (certainly not all of them), especially the Prothean artefacts. Imagine a sort of mini N7 mission where you take the shuttle down to secure the item, and fend off a small Reaper ground force before extraction. Five to ten minutes of gameplay, tops, with a mix of either current facilities or Prothean ruins, and probably a couple of interesting bits of squad banter if you have Liara or Javik along for the ride.

Time, resources, money, sure, but I'd still say it's a missed opportunity.

This is exactly how I felt about it. I had no problems with the way the quests were obtained, just that they all involved the exactly same thing: fly to a system, hit right mouse button, scan planet, return to Citadel. Given that in ME1 and ME2 there were small quests to find items that did involve actual gameplay, I was a bit let down that ME3 handled it in the way it did. I totally agree 5-10 minutes of gameplay would be more than enough, even if it was in the same warehouse over and over like in ME1 (that never bothered me like it did other people, I was more into what particular thing I was looking for and the purpose it served in the story)

I was just wondering since I didn't play a lot of games that were ever created, has this eavesdropping thing ever been done before and in such a great extent?


I could be wrong but doesn't it seem like this is the laziest game system ever created in any game ever created?

It is the main focal point of the entirety of non-major missions, it's simply unheard of...

no thats  the term for lazy gamers that dont want to work for things and  wont do it to listen to the story that plays out, but yes the eavesdropping  is in alot games is a 40 years old gamer and most the the games i played had people talking to others and being able to listne to there entire story before deciding if you want to help them, but i do agree that the thing should play out more rather then have to keep zoning back and forth between areas shouldn't require them to continue on with the story, but should only go continue if you are standing in range of them, if you leave the zone then they start over with the conversation
