CDPR, please let us disable auto-selection of next mission

[thegrownassman]

This is a suggestion for CDPR, not a bug report: please add the option to disable auto-selction of the next mission after we complete one. What I'm talking about is after I complete a gig for a fixer or whatever, it automatically switches to a main quest mission, even though previously I had NO mission selected. i prefer to play, especially when I'm exploring, without a big glowing yellow circle on the screen, so I often have mission tracking disabled, and it is inconvenient to have to constantly go back to the journal and de-select Lightnight Breaks or whatever. I don't want to do that mission right now. I'm vibing. I'm exploring. I'm having fun. Please don't make me. Thank you for hearing my feedback, and I love this game!

Couldn't agree more. I hate this "feature" so much...

 

[Abrams]

This feature annoys me as well, I want to explore, do NCPD/fixer/side quest and not the main mission, however game knows better what I want to do next...
So, I sign up on for this request.

 

[Iosephus]

This is a fair criticism that I agree with. I would prefer if we didn't have to track anything unless we specifically want to do that ourselves.

It's a long time since I played the game but it is the only annoyance I actually remember.

It's really weird that a commonly requested feature finally got added after 3 years, but due to the mission auto-tracking it seems exclusively intended just for the final mission of the game after the player has done everything... pretty much defeating the purpose of the feature ^^

So this is not a bug but a feature?

I did a bug report about this a few days ago and the support asked me to provide a clip proving this.
As I'm not a streamer o. e. I unfortunately cannot do this.

If it would be only that quests would be automatically selected when I finished the one before.
But it happenend to me many times when I did a vehicle quest from muamar under pressure of time, when suddenly my destination was'n shown any longer because I entered a new area where an active main quest was automatically selected.

I hated this any time it happens!

+1 it is very frustrating to go into journal and unselect the mission after every NCPD gig.

Yep, agree it can be very annoying, same with the movement keys changing the dialogue responses. Small things but they add up over-time.

Incredibly annoying feature. Please let us disable it, or let us disable the Quest Marker completely.

+1 for console

I honestly don't know how else to say this, but plus, fucking, one, choom.

Pawel was asked about this on one of the streams.

He said he'll see what he can do. I guess he didn't.

This is also an issue when you're presented with the choice of either persuing the lead after Hellman or Evelyn. Takemura says you can do either, but then the game immediately auto-selects Evelyn's path for you, and I've noticed many players don't even realize they can go after Hellman/Panam instead.

Not to necro a months-old thread but it is very irritating (to say the least):
I'm on a mission and moving towards the mission target. Then I received a call triggering another mission and this replaces my current mission target. Sometimes I didn't notice that (or rather late). I've checked my settings hoping to find an option to disable the auto-mission update (or what ever it's called). After reading this thread it seems there is not such an option.
It's not a big issue but often quite a nuisance to open the journal and select the mission again you are about to do. Would really appreciate if such a feature will be impemented.

I completely agree

It a good thing i love this game, but the auto main mission thing is getting to me. Just need something as simple as a on/ off option for this.

Came her to +1. Main quests re-tracking is bad enough. Just now was riding towards dogtown to go to the brainporium to do "Dazed and Confused" and on my way there the selected quest got altered twice: First a phantom mission (that I had already done/wasn't supposed to trigger yet) erased the trackmarker and then in the questlog there was no trace of that mission. Changed quest back to "Dazed and Confused" and then when I entered dogtown, the mission was just automatically replaced by the fixer gig "the man who killed jason foreman". Makes you question reality sometimes... Very annoying stuff, especially for long-time players who have sunk many hours in on multiple play-throughs already.

+1 as well!
Put a icon by it as an indicator that its the newest one added to the list or a message confirmation or something... but please disable selecting without my permission.
