I like to think a lot of Angara believe your name is Pathfinder.

Maybe if I'd told the sages I was the pathfinder? I dunno. Like Elotana says the entirety of Havarl is really lovely writing with loads of stuff that doesn't make sense.

It's a pipe bomb!
Finished the first main quest on Eos, played a little more and got all six squad mates.

When should I play multiplayer? Does it effect single player like ME3?

Nah dude, the glove's obviously remnant tech with an ai that can communicate with sensors all over this ruin and pumps information into you using your inherent bioelectricity, showing a vision of the past. I've done it like 5 times already.

They were pretty explicit about describing it as an interface device. Dude basically got a brain download from Remnant iTunes and goes from being an enemy expecting death to a friendly ally immediately.

Of course despite this being a significant thing to note it is never mentioned again nor is the fancy device actually modelled in game :v:

Oh I'm not trying to refute anything, I thought the Sages were kind of goofy and belonged in a property with more mysticism like Star Wars.

I just mean more generally it's a fun thought that maybe Angarans think your name is "pathfinder"

The APEX missions give you loot crates in singleplayer but 99% of them are utter garbage not worth opening (Thanks for the 300 iron, apex box)

Whenever you feel like it?

If you do APEX missions you get some loot boxes for single player. It's generally worthless stuff though, it doesn't really affect it at all.

Maxed out inventory is 200 units, up from 80. Nice change, if seemingly a bit excessive.

Galaxy Map travel is partially skippable. You can skip the sequence between planets in a system but not the one between systems

I think they did!

I wonder what went so wrong in development that they decided to go with the original instead of revising her to look more like she does now

Maybe between systems legitimately is a loading screen?

I'm still going to just alt-tab between them, they never really bothered me.

I'm p excited that this game is getting patches. It won't fix some of the dumb aspects, but it might get the gameplay to "fun and smooth" over "fun and janky"

edit:

Magmarashi posted:

I think this is all we get

If you're going to make it 100 and 200 you might as well get rid of it, because inventory space is a useless and bad mechanic and I only even hit 50 twice.

I think that's effectively what they did. It might be an easier fix to bump up the limit than remove the code for it entirely.

edit: I mean inventory limits are kinda dumb in RPGs like this anyways so I'm cool with this.

So how is the game overall? I kept expecting to get this, but just haven't had the time yet. As long as it's fun to play like even 3 was, just without the dumpster fire ending.

Multi's pretty fun but as limited as ME3 was at launch. Singleplayer's just okay.

The ME3 ending is a good comparison for the average quality of the writing throughout.
