Quests that sit in your Log

I agree, it really is highly annoying. One or two quests that are "on hold" that maybe hint at things to come are alright and serve a purpose in building up excitement, but when my entire quest log is nothing but on hold that's just poor game pacing. Like The Firefighters: what's the point of starting the quest ages before we discover Kadara? Just start it later. By the time I get to the bad guys' hideout I've already forgotten what the quest is about and what the stakes are.

If it were up to me I would have kept most sidequests and fetch quests as post-endgame content for people who want to do that extra stuff (like me). That way you aren't distracted from the critical path by a bunch of minor quests and there's no reason to put anything on hold.

Mine was Overgrown, simply because you get it just at the point when you're finishing up with Havarl and are about to move onto a new world.

I'd +1 the rocks one, too.

I'm coming to the end of my second (completionist) playthrough (I have learned that I never get bored of Throw/Pull/Charge, 200 hours now) and I think when and if I do a third, I'll probably focus on maxing planets one at a time next time.

I've yet to complete the task on dust ball #1 where you have to find the bodies.

I completed "Earn Your Badge" the other night with no problem.

I don't mind the "On-Hold" quests but the "Tasks" are just plain annoying. No proper markers, nor proper descriptions, not even a planet mentioned. If I ever complete them it's by sheer dumb luck. I get that they're there to encourage exploring, but a little more information wouldn't go amiss.

Was earn your badge only buggy with SisRyder? Cause I had that issue but some people playing bro didn't. I assume one of the patches took care of it. I didn't take it up again after I couldn't complete it. I hate things sitting in my quest list that can't be completed.

I haven't done a bro Ryder yet but from what I've been told that is correct.

If you're talking to me no and idk if that's a bug or not. No the quest wouldn't complete properly for Sara Ryder. For some they could talk to tgecquest giver and complete the quest but it still remained incomplete in the journal. For me the quest giver was gone, but that was due to the patch borking the quest worse since I was in the middle of it.

I don't bother with like 99% of tasks. There's only like 1 or 2 that I actually did.

Most tasks without a marker

yeah your talking about quests like Naming the dead or whatevre yeah those tend to get left by me as well. I tend to onlyfocus on the loyalty and main story quests.

Around 15 hours from finishing up playthrough 4, I've got a pretty good idea where most stuff is. So only 2 tasks to polish off.
I've found the trick with the random tasks is that when Sam or crew call out a nearby enemy you're driving by, that's usually a clue.
That leaves less dull driving around if you decide to tackle each of those quests independently.
The other ones to watch are the Remnant cores which can get trapped in Vaults.
