So i guess there's no point in watching this if you haven't played the games right? Because i have no idea what I'm reading right now.

Its an standalone product. You can watch it without knowing about the games. There may be references here and there that won't affect the 'watchability' of the OAV series, but would make the experience richier. Go watch it.

Because you haven't watched previous .hack projects or because of Quantum itself?

I'm confused with the storyline. So that police lady is Aina (Ovan's sister in GU)? And why was Hermit attracted to Sakuya? Was she the one he was searching a donor for?

*Disclaimer: This paragraph assumes you've seen OVA 02*
Actually... the 'police lady' is actually Reiko Saeki... the sister of Jun Basnyoya (the guy that freed the Epitaph Factors unto the net before CC Corp silenced him). She used to be Ender (in Roots) and Pi (in Roots, GU and LINK). She simply made a new avatar resembling Aina and even kept her Avatar factor of Tarvos (as she used it to Data Drain in Ova 2)

*Disclaimer: This following paragraphs assumes you've seen OVA 03*
Hermit was looking a donor for himself. His mind was 'trapped' within the net. As Shamrock/Reiko explains at the end... the kid was dying... so his dad arranged for his body to be cryogenized (spelling?) and his mind entered into the 'mind prison' while they found a cure or donor. He probably had a very rare disease since its been seven years since that happened.

Someone, behind the scenes, freed Hermit's soul unto The World (this will probably be explained in the Quantum+ manga or the Quantum Novel). Sakuya/Asumi was in fact a compatible donor for Hermit's real self. Though due to a misinformation, everybody thought Hermit was really dead... so the kid went berserk. Upon finding he was alive, Sakuya signed up to be a donor... but she can't donate anything (whatever they needed) until she is of age... so Hermit needs to wait a bit more.

The only returning characters, from previous .hack, are IYOTEN, Asta and Reiko (though with a new Player Character in the form of Shamrock).
