enraged_camel posted:god dammit, we still have "loyalty missions"? What's wrong with Loyalty Missions? They were a good way to get to know a specific character, build on their relationship with Shepard, and sometimes introduced new gameplay mechanics to differentiate them from other mission.

You could just think about them as personal missions and they're interesting because they typically reveal something new about specific characters, rather than walking into some random prefab warehouse to shoot badguys like every other sidequest in ME2.

The only bad thing in ME2 was having to super manage what missions you did when and where because otherwise people died and I don't do no sloppy runs damnit. Straight shooting all the way to the womb I really hope there isn't some weird doomsday clock ticking down in MEA and you can just go at your own pace to explore poo poo and do missions.

They've said the missions will dive into the reason each of the companions decided to join the Andromeda Initiative, except Jaal I guess since he lives in Andromeda.

epenthesis posted:What, you mean you didn't get your Paragon score up high enough to resolve their argument and recruit both? I always thought that loyalty should have resolved in a different way, like Samara is about to kill Morinth and taking the goody two-shoes Paragon option to interfere is what gets Samara killed instead. Picking Morinth with the information you have available to you by that point is just plain psychopathic and pointlessly stupid.

Not if you are a cold cyber terminator yourself and all you want is a cold hearted killer on the ship I honestly thought there'd be some benefit to picking Morinth though since it was obviously the "wrong" choice to make and that maybe, since she was a special mindfucker or whatever, she could get a special role later in the game but not really anything important happens, she's just straight up the wrong choice

I liked having it in my engineer because I could have a drone and a mind controlled enemy at the same time that Tali and legions drones were out and kind if just wait in the back while the fight resolved itself. Not a perfect strategy for all fights, but a lot of fun to watch.

I like to imagine that the times they're a literal clone is when the Asari in question just hosed themselves and don't want anyone to know that.

The first moment he meets Pathfinder he just wants to hang and go to a restaurant to have their equivalent of cheap Mexican beers. And when a shooting spree happens because of some earther scum or whatever, that just makes it more exciting!

During recruitment Samara outright said she would kill you after the mission if she thought you were a bad person. Renegade Shepard just wants a loyal body to hold a weapon and Morinth is a big gamble - Samara the post-mission executioner or Morinth the pre-mission black widow? Neither choice is really great.

enraged_camel posted:god dammit, we still have "loyalty missions"? Yeah I feel like they could use a different flag than !did_mission_17 for example there's the thing where you have an actual story and some things happen or don't based on the story and not how many dirty dozen montage type scenes you saw. Like the main thing is that Wrex's loyalty mission was incidental to the overall plot, whereas in Mass Effect 2 there kinda was no plot and the story just dribbled over the finish line with a final mission that was pretty much all checking flags of whether you'd done a certain thing or not and then there was a skeleton robot abortion.

Hmm. quote:Eventually the Initiative obtained promising data from Quarian explorers who claimed to have found a geth array on the fringes of the Perseus Veil. This array was supposedly build from three mass effect relays using sensors in the combined relay corridor as a form of FTL "telescope" to observe dark space beyond the galactic rim. Why the geth expended so much effort to study dark space is not known.

I should have clarified: I liked the loyalty missions in the previous games. I did not like that the character's allegiance at the end of each game was contingent upon those missions, to the point where you could say "if you do X during her loyalty mission, she helps you with Y at the end of the game" or "if you don't do X, he betrays you" etc etc. I like the concept was a mechanism to develop characters further. I don't like the formulaic effect loyalty missions have on the story.
