So I have 3 quests so far that cannot complete because the game is broken. Also lost 2 hours of progress because of another dumb glitch which can potentially ruin a whole play through if you don't manually save ever. Please fix this garbage. By far the glitchiest ME game I have ever played!
First off the potentially play through ruining glitch. If you die during an auto-save, it will just reload you in dead and in the "game over" menu. It also auto saves every time you load (which is freaking stupid by the way). There are 4 total auto saves. If you respawn dead 3 times, all your auto saves will be the "game over" menu and you will have to go back to your last manual save. If you have never manual saved, GG. You will have to load the last "chapter" save which could be days of progress lost. In the late game it could be months of progress lost!
Broken quest #1: Looking for the Remnant Core on the desert world.
So there is a datapad on the ground that I'm supposed to pick up. It won't let me pick it up. There are bodies scattered around which I did scan. I scanned the shipping box that I was supposed to scan. Can't interact with the datapad though....
Broken quest #2: Bio-material samples on the frozen world.
There's a room with 3 super top secret kett bio samples on 3 tables. I was able to pick one them up. Can't pick up the other 2 though so I can't complete the quest.
Broken quest #3: Identify the lingering kett in the Badlands
I'm supposed to find some kett footprints (for the second time in this quest, because it was so fun to do the first time I guess). There is a marker. I go to the marker and scan all over it but it doesn't detect the footprints and hence the quest line doesn't advance.
For all 3 of these I watched Youtube videos of other people completing the quests. So I know I'm not missing any steps. The game is just broken.
You guys need to fix this garbage so that I can actually finish the game... as of right now there are 2 worlds I can't even settle because of bugs...

I have a few quests that I can't progress either, despite looking them and figuring out how to do them properly.
The other issue I have - I have a new quest, with the ( ! ) next to it to indicate that it is, but for some reason it's sitting in my Completed Missions section, which means that now I have a ( ! ) next to my completed missions section, and subsequently a ( ! ) next to my journal at all times when I go to the menu.

I dunno about the first and last one ... but there are more than three samples in that room. I think there are five and you can only pick up three. How hard did you look? Lol.

Can't you just go into your completed quests section and highlight that quest to get rid of the marker? It's probably marked as completed because you already did what you had to do before actually picking up the quest. |

The second one has more than 3 samples to scan. There are like 5-6, and you can only pick up a few. Not too sure about the footsteps, but I know your reticle has to be exact to get a scan on them.
There are some legitimately broken quests, though. The drone/terminal quest by the landing pad on Eos, the shield upgrade from the Mechanic on Voeld, and the Angaran exchange program (in dialog only, I'm hoping the flags are correct).

I had a lot of trouble in that and other vault. There's a thread started in EA support. From what I read and experienced (not saying it's your issue), it gets bugged because you haven't killed all the Remnants. And that stems from the Remnants getting knocked into walls, ceilings where you can't see them easily. Walk around and listen for sounds; your companions might be shooting at them even though you can't see them. I've had a few instances above and below ground where all the enemies went invisible - easier to tell because you're getting shot at.
So the 2 vaults that I had trouble with, I eventually made it through again - restarted one and reloaded a save in another.
But I agree, that part of the issue is not being able to at least Quick Save in the vaults.
Edit: also, there's some verbal clues from either SAM or Ryder that aren't accurate. In one spot SAM tells me to use the console, but it's not there. Or not there, yet if it's one that has to be triggered via another console. In the same spot, Ryder tells me I can't cross here, when there's a bridge across that I can access - except the door wasn't opened. So it appears you can access some of the consoles out of order without much consequence, but some of them do need a specific order for the game voice triggers to be accurate.

I have notice at times that u not able to scan and u will have to exit the game out right and wait for it to sync in iCloud then reset the game to be able to scan things that should help that problem. |

Something is definately up with some quests, they can vanish completely, or fail to complete even if you do what's needed. I'm hesitant to play a second playthrough until I get a patch, since I want things to just work.

Can't pick up the other 2 though so I can't complete the quest. Edit: I see Nickles already made my point. If it helps, one of the collectable samples I missed is right by the entrance. |

The optional kett base security one broke for me it let me do the panels, but then after that I didn't get any other updates on what to do. I did all the panels and nada. I gave up and just finished the base quest because I didn't want to be there for hours.
I also have the prologue "go to the nexus" quest that auto-completes over and over again every time I use the nexus tram. So weird.

So it appears you can access some of the consoles out of order without much consequence, but some of them do need a specific order for the game voice triggers to be accurate. mmm yes I had a all whole wave of enemies spawn invisible. That was a little bit of a pain since it was hard to tell if they were behind cover or not lol. I have found many quests won't allow you to go forward if you don't eliminate every single enemy in the area. The kett base on eos spawned extra waves after already spawning a wave. So I got like double the waves every time a wave was spawned. lol. It seems like some things are just very very broken or if you don't do them in specific ways you easily break them. |
