I can't wait to scan a thing to unlock a thing in my codex  Wandering around the citadel looking at random things to get an entry about them in my codex was awesome in ME1

Yeah Loyalty or side character missions have been optional in pretty much every game.

Also would've been Kaidan's, if he wasn't a greasy smear on the surface of Virmire.

That one guy that got all of his companions killed in ME2's ending could only do it because they were optional.

Boo if Andromeda does not have the equivalent of the probing Uranus joke. I keep laughing at it because it is so dumb and immature.

Huh, I could have sworn they were part of the main story branch but I guess I only thought that because who in their right mind would ever not do additional story quests? Cool. I guess in Inquisition they were also optional? I suppose I always thought it was just the sex that was optional, and the character building story stuff was requisite.  I take back my previous concerns, thanks guys.

They were optional in Inquisition, yes. Most were pretty good, and could have some serious consequences later. But you could beat the game without ever doing them.

I don't even remember Inquisition side-character quests, Varric's was about destroying X Red Lyrium veins and getting something. And Blackwall's was about finding X lost armor pieces. Seriously lovely quests all around in DAI. At least DA2 had the unreliable narrator quest for Varric's stuff.

And Blackwall's was about finding X lost armor pieces. No, that's not true. Those were the optional-optional quests just to improve their opinion of your Inquisitor. Varric's companion mission was dealing with Bianca (his girlfriend, not his crossbow), while Blackwall's mission was him vanishing and getting into the Tom Rainier business. Iron Bull's mission was the choice between the Qun and the Chargers, Cassandra's mission was to investigate the Lord Seeker, Dorian's mission was dealing with his father, etc.

Blackwall's mission started off good as hell and then I can't remember how it ended, so like most of Dragon Age: Inquisiton is probably kind of boring and forgettable.

Not only are the loyalty missions always optional, you can choose not to pick up several companions in I think every DA and ME game? (Never played DA2, so no clue about that one actually)

Yeah, you can skip companions and loyalty missions in DA2 as well. It's possible to miss recruiting Isabela, Fenris and I believe Sebastian. A couple of the companion missions are plot integral and can't be skipped though, like Varric's.

Sebastian was DLC, so it's definitely possible to miss that dude.

Oh yeah, for sure, I just mean you can miss him even if he's installed if you just choose never to go hang out with him.

So are we expecting a third person over the should perspective Destiny but like, I can gently caress everything? I haven't played any of the ME games but I saw a couple of play videos and a bunch of memes so I am practically an expert. Game looks super pretty and I am very excited to shoot-mans and crush alien "puss".

More like Gears of War than Destiny, but yeah. Gears of War with a more pleasant universe and a lot of interspecies sex.

Mass Effect isn't anything like Destiny. It's an action shooter series with a focus on storyline and is entirely single player. Only Mass Effect 3 had a tacked on multiplayer mode that was co-op.

I said come in! posted:Mass Effect isn't anything like Destiny. It's an action shooter series with a focus on storyline and is entirely single player. Only Mass Effect 3 had a tacked on multiplayer mode that was co-op. I mean from an ME: Andromeda expectation perspective of mechanical gameplay. Andromeda is boasting Multi-player Co-op campaign stuff. I could give a poo poo about story most of the time, that is just something that happens while i am shootmansing. Icing on cake if the story a.) Exists and b.) Is good.

The multiplayer was the best thing about ME3 and hell, possibly all of Mass Effect in a weird way, so I really hope they expand on that and don't gently caress it up. But I'm not terribly optimistic because nothing I've seen or read about Andromeda has given me any confidence in its ability to be good.

Seemlar posted:ME3 can do strange things to a man, like make them think Harbringer was good when he actually was a pretty lame fuckboy who spends his part of the game doing a second rate Sovereign impression or impotently poo poo-talking you. Or more accurately attempting to impotently poo poo-talk you since he was often cut off mid sentence as you blew his hosts brains out every time he graced you with his presence. His taunting was teh only semblance of "going up against a villain" in ME2 because the collectors were a completely faceless boring bugpeople and the only interesting part of them was the fact that there was a voice behind it all: Harbinger. I dont even remember what happens to him in me3

I don't think there's any evidence of that, it's just that the Happy Ending Mod (lmao) decided to randomly add Harbinger voice clips in that bit because people were Mad About Harbinger and also dumb as poo poo

lol at the best game in the series being completely skippable busywork. me1 was okay, me3 multi was good but greedy with that slot machine poo poo. that's about all they've done so far with mass effect that is in any way notable. sorry but me2 is just completely pointless.

Oh, I thought it might have been closer to the actual event in question. Also just want to note the worst thing of the entire trilogy. If you want to reload to see what happens in another ending your only choice is to go back to the save from when you are injured outside the beam. You have to do all the slow walking and listen to unskippable dialogue from IM, Anderson and Catalyst all over again. The dream sequences are joy next to that. Second worst is getting sync killed by banshees.
