Turian drinking problems. EDIT: Trying to see if MP4 works. EDIT 2: It doesn't, what the hell. And neither does GIFV. EDIT 3: Okay I figured it out.  https://i.imgur.com/1RTxcnO.gifv Sombrerotron fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Mar 25, 2017 |

Oh you stupid loving pieces of poo poo, Bioware. Not letting me save on these dumb loving priority missions just means I have to replay up to 20 or 30 loving minutes for no goddamn reason of this goddamn poo poo. You goddamn motherfuckers. You wanna do that on Insanity difficulty, fine whatever gently caress you, but don't make this poo poo a game feature. Gotta increase that Hours Played!!! (you dirty, obtuse gorilla rear end-lickers)

Man, they really did put a lot of effort into making this game dense. There are quests your crew will only give you if you actually talk to them about specific things, there are whole conversation threads that span across several NPCs and don't have any "in game reward", but they're there if you actually want to get immersed and feel like you're Space Inquisitor. This game is definitely more like Inquisition than any ME, outside of the combat obviously, but in my opinion it's really streamlined in comparison. I still need to replay Inquisition and do the DLC and man it is gonna be hard after this. Game is really, really good. The lukewarm critical reception is actually a little baffling to me. I understand the reception being lukewarm on balance, but I'm quite surprised there aren't more gushing reviews.

I just started hanging out on jungle base alpha but it doesn't seem too bad. Can confirm, I hated Voeld and I think the environments are pointlessly large. It's more of an annoyance to me and I just unlock all the fast travel poo poo ASAP.

The reception slightly before launch was boiling and the hate directed at the game was immense. Then people actually started playing the game and suddenly the toxicity levels went down and now people are mostly talking positively about the game. Like yeah, it has issues. Many issues... but it's kind of good

Well I was wrong. The game is good. This facial expression thing is really glaring at the start but than either I got used to it or its better later in the game. The only really glaring problem is broken/badly designed triggers for events, if you go off the route you get emails and stuff about things you didn't do yet. Question to people who played or beaten the game. How is Ryder's personality? There was a tooltip at the start that said that choosing dialogue options will determine the personality. I was going mostly "casual" response and now he is cracking jokes even in dialogues where I don't choose the answer. Is it the same for everyone or there are actually 4 personalities? Wow, I just epically defeated the cardinal - charge>nova and the finishing blow was a melee punch to the face. Sekenr fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Mar 25, 2017 |

The game gives you "feedback" in the form of an onrunning 'psychological evaluation' in your codex and it says things like "Ryder is a funny and carefree guy" if you choose the funny and carefree dialog option a lot. The voice acting really struggles to make use of the four options, and the written dialog just shits on everything else sometimes. it doesn't seem like you're going to have clear cut "badass" Shepard or "kinda friendly" Shepard personalities here.

I think there's a hidden meter that tracks whether Ryder is Professional or Casual. The other two don't come up often enough to make me think there are 4 personalities.

Also, after emerging from Eos' vault again I was pleased to see people actually move a little (even walk around) during those over-the-shoulder conversations. Those animations might be independent of the actual dialogue, but it's better than seeing nothing but their mouths move. And about Ryder's personality, I don't know how much your dialogue choices affect anything, but it seems to have some effect at least. I'm mostly picking the casual options this time round, and apparently because of that I was able to ask SAM how his sense of humour is when talking to him on the Tempest.

Something something groupthink, maybe. Might be that a lot of people are struggling to form a connection with the Andromeda galaxy in a universe where there should still be tons of Milky Way stuff. That's the only sticking point for me. Fojar38 fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Mar 25, 2017 |

This game is already easily better than ME3, I mean the rest of the single player from where I am could be 20 hours of rickroll and I'd still stand by that statement.

I think I was able to ask him that on the Nexus/Hyperion SAM node right before I got on the Tempest for the first time. If not, it was immediately after getting on the Tempest. I was picking casual responses up to then, but I doubt that opened up the option.

Yeah she will flat-out proposition you for (casual) sex if you keep talking to her, even if you never chose to flirt with her at all. On the one hand, I guess it's kinda realistic...your character can't be the only one who keeps trying to bang, other people wanna bang too and should be able to pursue it. On the other hand...i'm GHEY, LADY

The no saves on priority missions makes some sense at a high level - avoiding save-scumming - but in reality it leads to a poor experience. It feels out of place in a generally lighter, accessible game with a robust autosave/checkpoint system. Dark Souls, whatever, it's accepted that every action has weight and consequence.

Apex HQ app talk: The free weapons you get in SP from completing (some) app strike team missions level as your SP character does. So this is a way to get some weapon variety and upgrades as you go without having to research everything. Which you can't anyway. I'm pretty sure the weapons always come from the missions that have that extra Apex icon on them, so keep spamming those until you succeed. The weapon rewards are what makes this worth it early in your SP career, the cash and materials don't add up to too much, although they aren't nothing. The research points are probably second best. I also note that I have received a couple of duplicate weapons when picking up, I'm not sure if this is bad luck, a duplicate bug, or a weak random number seed. It's free materials when I break them down, so no big deal, even if I'd rather have a different gun.

You can change your target quest to some random side quest during a priority mission and it'll let you save.

I've not been on a priority mission since to test whether it still works, but posters at reddit were saying that the devs purposely fixed the bug allowing that.
