Neddy Seagoon posted:True, but it'd still be more interesting. The original Mass Effect throws a millenia-old society of several races all living together at you who are still a bit wary of the hairy pink things turning up in their territories even after 30-odd years since they first appeared. I just checked in game. She does not say anything about the Alliance fearing her Biotics, just that she got shoved into a diplomatic boondoggle program because it was convenient. Maybe it's in non-repeatable dialogue, but I also got the impression that the Alliance contributed to her feelings of being unwanted but not due to fear.

I don't normally complain about bugs but this game is seriously a shambles. So far I've had - 3 times Peebee has frozen and stopped animating. Still moved around and fought but had to load the last save to sort it out. - One ghost Peebee, she stayed dead after combat and couldn't be revived. Fast travelled on the planet she was still dead. Went back to the Tempest and she was still dead, floating halfway through the ceiling. Had to load a manual save 15 minutes earlier to sort it out. - Chatting with the ancient angaran AI Ryder's head kept screwing off whenever SAM spoke. Ruined a conversation I was actually interested in. - Constant animation glitches, Peebee leaning on thin air, double Dracks etc. - Completing strike team missions, twice the game has frozen and I needed to restart the PS4. - Two blue screen crashes. I'm still playing and broadly like the game but at this point it's only just. No way I'm getting any DLC for this unless they put out a major patch and honestly I regret buying this at launch. Edit; Drove off a cliff, game kept respawning the Nomad at a point on the edge where it always feel back in no matter what I did. Twice enemies fell into the ground and couldn't be hit, once it stopped me completing the mission. Games a mess. Vitamin P fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Mar 30, 2017 |

On the one hand you'd think she'd be more worshipful of Lexi or other Asari you meet. On the other hand she probably doesn't even think they're Asari enough to be real Asari.

Not sure this is a bug but I hate it so much. It seems like the game just uses an arbitrary determination for how far you fall before you just reset back up top. So infuriating. Oh look a huge cliff which would be awesome to get some airtime off of. I've got jump jets, so I can survive right? Nope, can't even find out because the game resets you like 2 seconds before landing.

Just completed Liam's full companion quests. I have no idea how the hell he got selected to be on a Pathfinder team in the first place. "Hey I'm just shooting the poo poo undiplomatically with this new alien guy we met, didn't feel the need to tell anyone." "The leadership of two governments won't listen to me, random squad dude, so I'm taking this into my own hands. Also not telling anyone until after I get my boss to commit a diplomatic faux pas." "Whoops, hosed up there. I won't do that again, and I promise I'll tell you what's going on before I get you involved in poo poo. Oh hey I have a problem now! I already contacted the leader of a colony to help before I talked to you and also I have a plan, no no don't worry just do the plan and I'll explain later." Where is my "you're fired" option.

My hot take is that this game strongly evokes the first Mass Effect in terms of annoying poo poo, like inventory management and how traveling takes too long. However the combat is fun and the story and characters have grown on me, and there's an overwhelming amount of poo poo to do. Not all of it is good, and the galaxy map makes leapfrogging around doing sidequests more of a pain than it should be, but all in all I'm enjoying myself. The technical issues have mostly just been funny, but I do have at least one broken quest in my log. Liam is the Kaidan/Jacob of this game.

Yeah as far as 'stock human friend character' goes, Liam at least has a personality that's fun. I think the voice acting and specifically the accent help a lot, though--anything he says sounds delightful. Although it was also Liam who made me really feel like the Tempest crew needs to discuss sexual harassment and appropriate workplace attire. That's a problem with everybody, though.  Control yourselves, squad.I've always thought the romance options weren't too overt in the older Mass Effect games, but ME:A REALLY wants Ryder to get their gently caress on. It's hilariously awkward.

I still, most of the time, will mission with him/Cora because I play a Vanguard and they balance me out pretty nicely.

Yeah, one of my favorite things about the first game was how much poo poo there was to do. I still remember that "Oh, drat!" feeling the first time the galaxy map panned outwards. ME2 and 3 were tighter, and better games for it, but drat if I didn't want to go exploring some huge galaxy again and see if I can find all the space trash they put in my quest logs.

I know the thread's decided that the writing in ME:A is bad and I know it's uncool to have feelings about pixels, but goddamn Hunting the Archon messed me up. Up until that mission, I hadn't really felt how bad the Kett were. Previously, they'd seemed like weirdo religious gene baptists. Who manage to convince/kidnap/convert their victims. We see Angarans going willingly into the pods for exhultation. Obviously, like, not the best people but you know, in the context of video game world ethics they didn't seem that bad. I mean, dorky, friendly Ryder is a murder machine who kills hundreds of beings as a matter of course. Through no particular planning on my part, I did the Turian and Asari arks in succession right before discovering that Hunting the Archon was *also* Finding the Salarians. After seeing the Turian Ark in shambles and fighting the Kett off of the Asari Ark (you start to get a sense of what the Kett will do to colonists in stasis on that mission), the image of the Salarian Ark tethered to Archon's ship made my stomach drop. How long had they been there? How many helpless people had they gotten to? The horror didn't let up. Working my way through the labs and discovering exactly how evil the Kett's medical practices are, my (Sara's) horror turned to hatred. The idea of going to sleep only to wake into a nightmare of torture and interrogation triggers some kind of basic revulsion in me and I moved from wanting to defeat the Kett to wanting the Kett to suffer. There's a bunch of moments when you encounter Kett scientists. They are non-combat NPCs. All they do is run away from you. Early in the mission, I'd let them go but by the time I'd made it through the labs full of audiologs of vivisected and tortured Salarians, I was so angry that I'd try to blast off their shields and catch them in a singularity so they could die before escaping. This is not in keeping with (my) Sara's character, but it felt right, like she was in a fugue state. And then we learn that not only is the Archon Space Hilter, but he's Incompetent Space Hitler. Hatred plus contempt. The forced choice between the Salarian pathfinder and the Krogran scouts was a beautiful twist of the knife. Again, not knowing what was coming, I'd brought Drack on the mission with me. When forced to make a call, I chose the pathfinder. We'd already lost three of the four originals. Drack was, understandably, pretty mad. He let me know right away and throughout the firefight. So I spent the final fight feeling angry and guilty. Back on the Tempest, we got to celebrate our Pyrrhic victory. I've already done Drack's loyalty mission and we're supposed to get drinks later, but right now he's super mad at me (Sara) and rightfully so. Sara let him down in the same way that the universe has been letting the Krogans down over and over. When push came to shove, she turned out to be just like the Salarians and Asari and every other jerk species that has oppressed his people. I turned the game off at that point, feeling mad and sad. There's plenty of time for the game to screw up later on, but this moment of agony is some of the most emotionally invested I've felt in a game in a long time. I hope Sara can make amends. I feel like she's changed her understanding of the Roekaar. I (she) now actively wants to hunt down and destroy the Kett in side missions. I feel more invested in building up our outposts as a kind of defiant gently caress you to the Kett. I don't know what's coming next but I hope I get more moments like this.

In every ME game you meet multiple Krogans who are trying to make a better more enlightened life for their people, write poetry to the women/Asari they love, etc. The Krogans in ME:A are especially more likely to be like this, as they signed on for this mission to get away from the old cycles of violence. The rest came out here to be cool Krogans outlaws.

But it shouldn't be lost on the player that when it comes down to the wire, the other Citadel races run to the Krogan when a fight does break out. I think they have a useful place. It should also be noted the ME:A Krogan clans are trying to break that cycle of violence.
