The only thing its possible to gently caress up in ME3 is doing Priority missions before side missions (including those dumb planet scanning side missions). There is no Reaper IFF/Normandy crew situation. Tali comes later on but still gets a lot of screen time. And unless you hosed up and didn't buy the Citadel DLC you'll have even more time with your space waifu/husbando of choice. Kibayasu fucked around with this message at 00:04 on Jun 15, 2016 |

Thanks all, I'm around 8 hours in I think, and have just been doing a few side missions and enough to try and get the Solarians/Turians and Wrex to talk to each other (kind of). Yeah, I installed Citadel + Directors Cut + From Ashes.

Regarding your question of whether you can recruit legion as a companion in ME3, you can't, but he does show up and play a part

Generic American posted:For what it's worth, I'm reading that with the polar opposite implication, like they're trying to be *less* strict when it comes to building up Ryder as a character like they did with Shepard. Where they aren't going to constantly say "you are Commander Shepard, elite space marine and the galaxy's only hope", but instead just give you Ryder's general role and let the player define him/her as a character throughout the story. It seems to me that it means they're writing a much more specific character (a "role" for you to play), with an established family and history that appears to be unalterable. I'd say Shepard was as much of a blank slate as they could make him and still have a "cinematic" experience. While you say you only have the chance of what flavor hero you could be, I highly doubt Bioware will give you leeway to, say, be the villain this time around, if only because that would require more (expensive) work on their part.

No, because that would be a "person", not a "role". Sounds like another Grey Warden/Bhaalspawn/Inquisitor kind of setup, the role this time around being "Expedition Leader" or something.

IGN: How Mass Effect: Andromeda's Ryder is Different from ShepardBioware Creative Director Mac Walters posted:“Commander Shepard, the way I put it was, a hero (when we met them — him or her) who became a legend,” Walters told IGN. “For me, the people in Andromeda’s story are people who haven’t yet achieved hero status. It really wasn’t until the third game where we started to explore more of Shepard’s… what they think about things and how they’re feeling and how they’re dealing with things. I think those are areas we’ll try to focus on more in Mass Effect: Andromeda with the protagonists.” Still a little vague with the market-speak, but it does sound to me like the main difference will just be that Ryder won't have such a specific reputation to define them from the start like with Shepard. So yeah, the Inquisitor from Dragon Age sounds about right with how they're framing the story.

Generic American posted:IGN: How Mass Effect: Andromeda's Ryder is Different from Shepard They're saying that Shepard was already a War Hero and an experienced soldier. And was on the short list to one of the most prestigious and militarily powerful positions a human has ever been privy to before the game even started. Ryder will probably start out as a grunt who proves to be very competent and rises into a leadership role as you play them.

Kibayasu posted:You know Dragon Age Inquisition? It's going to be that. DA:I was quite bad. Or well, in fact it's open world games that are always bad. Even the Witcher 3 is bad, mostly because of its open world which adds nothing good to the game besides a lot of useless icons on the map to follow like you are in some goddamn MMO. But i guess the fact that Mass effect is in space will make sure there isnt a completely open world, as you need to go to different planets to kill stuff and find poo poo. So it's still all good for me.

You're gonna wake up from hypersleep in Andromeda, but lo and behold other ark ships got to Andromeda decades before you and have already begun to populate the galaxy with asari and turian and krogans so it's like you never left!! Oh yeah and we built a duplicate of the Citadel just in case anything ever happened to it, crazy how there are mass relays here too.

If a mission shows up, and it's not a Priority mission, it's best to do it as soon as possible. There are multiple instances where if you don't do something ASAP something bad will happen instead Grissom Acadamy, the Ardat Yakshi Monestary, The Rachnai, the Cerberus Scientists It will be super obvious when you're allowed to recruit the Vermire survivor, they'll be outside your airlock and straight up ask you.

Right. Exactly. This is why Shepard is really loving boring whereas every one of my Fallout: New Vegas gimmick runs stars someone totally unique and interesting to whom I can get attached. (Of course, the Inquisitor is also really loving boring, so...)

But the Inquisitor was still a step in the direction of making non chosen one Red or Blue Heroes. You still mostly were that, but a little less than Shepard. Bioware is no where near out of the woods on that department though.

Alright! Now we seem to be moving along. Finally finished all the Krogan genophage stuff RIP mordin  and just cleared The citadel of Cerberus forces which was really well done actually, for some reason the combat just felt really smooth and finally clicked in that part. Everyone has been warning me about ME3, primarily the ending but so far i'm enjoying it, especially the combat which seems much better than 2.

Don't try to talk sense to these min -maxing weirdos. They think girl Shep was the best because she played paragon and renegade as distinct characters; the concept of role-playing is beyond them. They all want to be rewarded mechanically for choices instead of doing what makes sense and feels right i.e. full blue OR red, do priority missions last...
