Is there any way to disable all the fetch quests?

Have you tried... just ignoring them?

You know, like an adult?

Valid question, though.

Many people have "gaming OCD" and dislike unresolved items in our quest log.

Mass Effect 2 was worse. There were, what, 4-5 missions that actually related to the plot? The rest were 'recruit these super badasses' followed by 'help them with their whining'.

The guide on how to enjoy the game that Eurogamer published makes more and more sense now.

This is how I feel. The side quests even the short ones to go scan or collect something isn't any less complex than they were in Witcher 3. I really question anyone who trashes the side quests as everything I've played has been good and had small story to it.

I'll boldly say this game is second to Witcher 3 in open world RPG action adventure single player games.

And to the OP, the quests are separated nicely. Just wait until you have 30+ quests to do.

Awww I really love all the little filler quests! Lots of people do. People often play rpgs specifically for all the random little quests and the exploration and the inventory. If you don't like side quests and tasks, just ignore them. They are all completely optional!

You know, I HATE multiplayer. I don't enjoy it, at all, ever. But oh look!! I don't troll the multiplayer boards complaining how much I hate it, how they could have spent all the resources wasted on multiplayer making the single player content better. How dare Bioware ruin my life shoehorning in multiplayer when I don't want to play it?! Multiplayer has ruined the game irreparably for me! None of Bioware's historic games had multiplayer so why ruin their games with it now?! Rant rant rant...

....but that's just a shitty way to act. I appreciate that loads of people really enjoy the multiplayer. I actively dislike it, but that's me. I shouldn't demand it is removed just because I don't like it. That removes something from everyone. I shouldn't be such an ass that I spam post after post about how awful the multiplayer is etc, I just concentrate on the parts I do enjoy. Strangely enough, I can accept I don't think the game is 100% perfect and I'm not necessarily going to love every single part of it.

If you personally dislike the game so much please consider just going and enjoying yourself playing something else, instead of just spreading constant criticism and negativity. 👍🏻

ME2 is like a season of TV; most episodes of a typical Buffy season don't involve the current Big Bad much, if at all. Star Trek too; even in seasons where they have a Big Bad like the Dominion in late DS9.

And Bio games have often been like this. ME2's structure is exactly like BG2's; none of the missions in Chapter Two, which are the bulk of the game, have anything to do with Irenicus. BG 1's the same, although it'd have been different to write it differently since the nature of the enemy is revealed so late. Of the four major recruitment quests in DA:O, only Orzammar has anything to do with the Blight, and even that's fairly peripheral. Of the four map quest areas in KotOR, or five if we count Dantooine, two  (or three) have nothing to do with the Sith.

Uh just ignore them? Just mark the quest you want to focus on as active. People act like fetch quests are a recent phenomenon

You are such an internet tough guy, don't let anyone tell you different.
