You seem even more angry than the Archon when Ryder sabotages his comlink to the Kett homeworld in the fourth story mission. But not quite as angry as Director Tann when you shoot him in the leg during the second mutiny. Somebody fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Apr 5, 2017 |

Dan Didio posted:That's ME3's failing. Well sure, I think that ME3 would have been fine with a better ending, but I don't think that means it wasn't playing at a disadvantage. In terms of the overarching plot, what does ME2 actually accomplish? The Reapers are no closer to defeat, and most of the major developments (Shepard's death, the Collectors, Alpha relay) are brought up and dealt with in the same game. We get a better picture of the galaxy and the genophage and all the character moments are great, but very little of the "main story" seems consequential.

Has anyone run into any other Milky Way species in ME:A besides the Big Five of Humans, Asari, Turians, Salarians, and Krogan? I'm hoping to see some Hanar, Volus, Quarians, etc. in this game. I have to say, I did like the big Kett Fort mission on Voeld, but I'm not sure if I should complete everything on the planet or move on to find the Angaran scientist or whomever to move the main plot along. Lastly, lol running around on Voeld in a climate controlled hardsuit that will expire unless you stand next to a giant space Lava Heat Italia heater, but PB and the Angaran dude run around with exposed skin. With respect to gear chat from a few pages back, I wish one could change companions' weapons and armor, even if it just meant cycling through some pre-loaded alternatives.

Or at least do the special quests there, anyway. I was relieved to find out I couldn't change the weapons/armour of my companions because there's so much STUFF that it was overwhelming. That's another similarity to Dragon Age 2 I guess, no customising your companions.

I feel like making the character creator better is too little too late. Unless you're gonna give us an option to redo our Ryder's appearance like in Dragon Age, it's meaningless for folks already playing the game.

I like stability improvements and better human and asari eyes. Because drat, these eyes are much worse than even ME1. I'm still convinced there's some kind of memory leak going on as the game gets generally less stable and more hitchy until it eventually stops on a loading screen during long play sessions. My CPU is running kind of hot though, I should clean out my case just to be sure.

Apparently those really long loading times are due to being in the nomad when you saved. If you save outside it, the loading is fine.Daztek posted:My game freezes on Nexus landing transitions when I play with vSync off You updated to the latest graphics card drivers?

Honestly the autopilot skip is going to be huge in getting me to actually scan poo poo. Now if they'd let me drill into the galaxy map and go straight to destination point... (i.e. click into the system and planet I want to go to rather than just the system).

Who's Hainly Abrams and why are they adjusting conversations with her? I've finished this game and I don't remember her ever appearing. Is she on Kadara? I skipped most of the side stuff there.

Glad they're at least going back and fixing stuff. Thankless job, and hopefully next go-round they can do this stuff, like, before the release of the game.Serf posted:I feel like making the character creator better is too little too late. Unless you're gonna give us an option to redo our Ryder's appearance like in Dragon Age, it's meaningless for folks already playing the game. Yeah, it's not optimal. The one positive is that New Game + lets you go thru the character creator fully, so there is that option (it's a big ask, though). CottonWolf posted:Who's Hainly Abrams and why are they adjusting conversations with her? I've finished this game and I don't remember her ever appearing. Is she on Kadara? I skipped most of the side stuff there. She's a quest NPC who brings up her gender transition in one of the dialogue trees.

So did EA force them to release it this year? I've only played a couple hours but it seems like the main problem is that they just needed more time. Also, there's this moment early on where you find the wrecked Asari base / citadel thing where they talk about how they had a year of anarchy to try and get everything running again because they lost so many people and so much food and supplies in the crash, and I honestly think that would make for a more interesting game.

"__________________ would make for a more interesting game" is pretty much masseffect.txt at this point. There's so many parts of the setting that would be far more interesting to explore, but Bioware isn't good at understanding that.

After I exiled the 'first murderer' guy, on the legal theory that an incompetent murderer is still a murderer, I ran into him in the slums at Kadara Port, and he thanked me for exiling him. Apparently in doing so, I'd help him reach self-actualization, improved his marriage, and blah blah blah.. I mean, that's probably the worst quest to bring up that criticism about, because the other choice ends up with literally the opposite, his wife leaving him and everyone shunning him for being a murderer who got away on a technicality. He puts himself back in stasis.

Is that what causes it? drat. Hainly Abrams is a minor quest giver on Eos (? I think?) who almost immediately outs herself as transgender and gives you her deadname. I mean, points for including her to begin with, but I'm also subtracting points for how clunky, awkward and badly written that whole thing is.
