How many fetch quests in ME3 do you think could have been actual Side-Missions?

And which side-missions would you add to the game?

I would be all for fewer fetch quests and more side missions.

For example the ones where you find a random frigate or cruiser floating around, those could be side missions (rescuing it from a siege or something).

theoretically speaking?

all of them COULD, if we didn't have to worry about disc space..

I don't think all of them could because some you pick up during other missions


Specifically I mean the one where's you have to scan planets to get

bioware could have added a conversation so that after you listen to all the commando's lines in the hospital you can tell joker about his sister when he asks liara for info on it.

I so wanted to tell Joker about that

You mean in a magic universe where development time is free and ME3 could have been twice the size, right?

Quite a few; Elcor Extraction, Book of Plenix, etc. But why stop with the fetch quests? Some of the scanned objects without attached quests could have been missions too.  A mission to, say, rescue Dr. Jelize.

If it was up to me, the elcor and volus and whatnot would still be rather low on the priority list. I seriously, seriously doubt they would get a substantial mission, and almost certainly not on their homeworlds.

Well instead of free development time, It'd be atleast 2 more years of development. And ME3 could have been twice the size if MP was gone or on a separate Disc

[David7204]

And twice the price?

No it wouldn't be twice the price

[Mr.House]

Rescue shadow broker operatives, Elcor mission, Book of Plenix and Pillers of strength should have been proper side mission for obvious reasons.

[David7204]

Really? So I guess those extra two years of development are just free, right? I guess the developers just eat dirt for two years?

*sigh* /facepalm

You obviously don't understand the purpose of this, do you?

Dragon Age Origins. Had more side misisons then all of the ME games, was longer then all of the ME games. How much did it cost when it came out? Oh ya the same price as a typical video game.

[David7204]

In an ideal world, developers would be able to release 300 hour long AAA games for 60 bucks. But that isn't going to happen, and that's the end of it. If more content was to be added, there are a lot of things that would take priority over a mission like this.

this, the MP ate up some of the dev costs for the game, and before you tell me that it was drawn from different funds, EA only has so much money they can allocate during a year, and if they hadn't allocated it to the MP, than the SP could have gotten more money.  I also refer you to this video.

Have you seen LA: Noire?

[AresKeith]

Also added more to the OP

[David7204]

I very seriously doubt that. And I'm willing to bet that little video fails to consider that MP has probably made up for it's cost in revenue from microtransactions. So cutting MP would result in a net decrease in the budget, not an increase.

I played it for a while at a buddy's house, yeah. Why?

I was actually holding out hope BW would go and replace those with actual missions via DLC, using them in both MP and SP.

But nah, let's just leave the grand galactic war at large as a mini-game section, for the most part...

[Mr.House]

Ya because adding a few more proper side missions(the ones I listed) would result in ME3 being over 300 hours. Give me a break.

You do know that the game was so big that it had to be on 3-4 discs for the Xbox

Well, if we're talking about what could have been practically done with the existing models, probably not. You'd need new architecture to do the elcor and volus worlds right. Not to mention other issues. Could Shepard walk around on a 4g world? You'd  need special environment suits for a volus world
