But if you're playing SP as a vanguard you shouldn't be using your gun anyway :colbert:

This is blatantly untrue. There are times you need to shoot things in the environment. Always carry a pistol for such times.

Remember that "enemies" are not "things in the environment." Shooting enemies is just wrong.

Use an SMG, get the explosions morph on your incendiary ammo, shred things.

If you have warp incendiary ammo is stupid OP due to a bug in the damage calculation (they basically multiply together)

It's why everyone runs it in plat multiplayer

I gotta say, the series doesn't do much to make the Batarians look like anything but the scum of the galaxy until ME3, which humanizes the Batarians but paints their civilization as even worse than what I'd imagined. And vorcha, well, vorcha are still the scum of the galaxy.

It's pretty similar to those leaks that came out a while back. Don't think there's really anything too surprising or different there except that the species that live there will be enemies. Could also still have that ancient race though!

It would be really cool if they made it so that the races of the milky way are starved for resources or something and really loving desperate to find new inhabitable planets, so we decide to invade andromeda in a proper lebensraum war of aggression.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Why would it be such a stretch to make the player character the antagonist of Andromeda, when Shepard was already the antagonist of Mass Effect?

After Earth is stripped of all valuable resources, leaving humanity on the brink of collapse, an amazing new material called unobtainium element zero is discovered on a distant planet. An advance fleet is sent to make contact with the natives, a race of blue cats squid-heads who are initially friendly but object to humanity's winner-take-all attitude. Only the main character can bridge the divide between their two cultures by becoming one of them licking an electrified alien flagpole.

Is forcing the player to be a bad man doing bad things somehow good game design all of a sudden? Of course we'll be fighting the good fight.

You don't need to necessarily force the player to do bad things constantly for the background conflict to be something you're on the wrong side of history for.
