So, I need to take down an architect(?) on Voeld. Unfortunately it's in a level 2 hazard zone so there is basically no chance of doing that. I've already started the terraformer and I have 100% Viability on that Planet. Since then I've been away doing other missions for maybe 8 hours and even found another arc. At which point do the hazard zones disappear? What triggers it?

I legitimately don't think the streamer guy who beat the game in 21 hours actually did any sidequests at all, I think I was at 6 hours just from the tutorial area and meeting the Nexus people. Pretty sure I've hit 21 hours in single player already and I'm just about to land on my second planet, and there are like four quests on Eos I could have done before leaving (and a few more I can do now that the radiation is down) How do you get up on the cliff to bury the guy's dog tags on Eos? I tried for like an hour and just gave up.

This may well be the biggest game Bioware has ever made, but some people are finally starting to catch on to the idea that bigger doesn't always work. Some genres, sure. But RPGs are one area where bigger and bigger games suffer from not having enough attention to detail and polish.

People call this "MMO-like" nowadays but it was the way non-JRPG's operated for a long long time and ME:A and DA:I are returns to form in that regard. Personally, I think ME:A is better than DA:I and that's honestly the best comparison. If you liked DA:I you'll probably like ME:A, and conversely if you hated DA:I you probably won't like ME:A.

From Site 1 where you first land on Eos, take the Nomad up to the little hollow niche beneath that cliff (IIRC slightly to the right if you're looking up at the cliffside, it's just past where the scavenger's shuttle is parked), then get out on foot and jump jet up. (edit: I assume that's the brother's pendant quest and not some other quest that I haven't come across.) Promethium fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Mar 23, 2017 |

By the way the game is slowly winning me over to the "We're in Andromeda" stuff, mostly via the fact that there are a lot of hints that Cerberus was involved in planning and funding the mission, and if the arks departed around the time of ME2 it can easily be interpreted as an "ensure galactic civilization (especially humanity) survives in the event that the Reapers invade and win" operation. Hell it even fits with the modus operandi Cerberus was using in ME2, complete with a former Alliance N7 operative leading the operation

But RPGs are one area where bigger and bigger games suffer from not having enough attention to detail and polish. this. if you do open worlds you need some solid good interesting side quests and maybe a few mini quests(like the witcher) but what you also need is dynamic open world events, watch dogs 2(alot of the newer ubisoft games) had ton of this poo poo as did shadow of mordor. you also need to make it feel alive and things having a purpose.

So I planned to play this on my PC hooked up to the TV with an xbox 360 controller. Well I can't, if I push the right stick to move the loving camera moves with it like I'm using the left stick, try and run forward and the camera pans up to the ceiling. Got some google results, with basically the only solution someone had was to play with the console open on the screen, which is annoying. Thought I'd see if anyone here had the same issue and solved it?

I think I like it more than DA:I because the open world formula works better in a game fundamentally about space colonization rather than a game that is singularly about beating a big bad guy. I mean to be sure this game has a big bad guy that needs beating but his presence is incidental to the larger story of "set up civilization anew." Really he's just the biggest hazard you're facing, not the singular point of the initiative existing. It also means that when the game ends and I (presumably) have beaten them there is still a reason for everything I've built to stick around, unlike the inquisition in DA.

If you liked DA:I you'll probably like ME:A, and conversely if you hated DA:I you probably won't like ME:A. Yeah, it's gonna be divisive as hell because it is very different to play than ME1-3. But they did fix the worst thing in DAI. Yes, there are still a couple quests (literally two that I have right now) that are "scan X things" but generally they seem to have tightened down on "less filler quests" pretty hard. They also smartly have the game itself tell you to leave Eos and keep traveling back and forth as you expand the Nexus. Plus the combat is infinitely more satisfying than DAI, though I did like DAI's combat for what it was.

I still like DA2 for being the closest thing Bioware's ever done to Warren Spector's 1 city block RPG. Gimme a whole Mass Effect game in the vein of Noveria, or Omega in ME2. Nice, small and self-contained.

It's dumb.

Did bioware really have enough restraint to not let you gently caress the weird cat twileks or your great granfather, the krogan? I heard this is true. Honestly I don't like any of the flirt options so I think I'm just gonna ride solo with my bros the salarians this time. I romanced Thane in the first series and found his relationship with Shep really, really creepy and sad (Shep what is wrong with you?), kind of turned me off that part of the game in general lol. Unrelated but Peebee is less annoying than I thought! I was pleasantly surprised.

GET MY BELT SON posted:is there any benefit to SP by playing MP? If you do Apex missions, yes. They give you bonus XP and credits in MP, and loot boxes you can claim in SP. You don't actually have to play the MP if you don't want to though, you can send your strike team to do them, but it takes a lot longer and they can fail. The loot boxes sometimes have very good things in them (rare materials and weapons). Also you don't really have to do tons of scanning for Research Points unless you want every gun and piece of armor in the game, which... you don't. Figure out which type of gun your Ryder wants to specialize in and then only research that type. You'll get enough guns from loot to experiment with.

GET MY BELT SON posted:is there any benefit to SP by playing MP? Once you're deep into the single-player game, the MP bonuses aren't particularly useful. That "Strike Teams" menu in MP has specific missions with specific debuffs/buffs for an added challenge. They're timed too, exactly like in DA:I's inquisition table (or whatever it was called). If you complete those specific missions (manually or automatically with your APEX Strike Team from SP) you get some decent items or a piddling about of credits or some common resources to use in SP.

GET MY BELT SON posted:is there any benefit to SP by playing MP? To add on to what the others said about Apex missions and phone app strikes, the credit rewards are small, the materials rewards are probably small in relation to what you get playing (I don't have much time in yet but that seems the case), but the weapons can be good. The day my Ryder started playing and reached the Nexus I unboxed 2 Hurricanes, a Scorpion, and a Talon from playing the app for a couple of days in advance. It was nice starting Eos with real guns I didn't have to buy or research.
