TheCenturion posted:Mass Effect Andromeda 2: The Voyage Home. Using a stolen Kett spaceship, Ryder and crew must travel back in time to bring Shepard into the future, so that s/he can sing to an alien probe and make it go away. You know, a kind of Odyssey/voyager esque journey back to the milky way could be kinda cool though. Maybe they discovered how to build mass relays again and are bringing the tech back with them or something?

I still don’t see the problem with using Andromeda again. There was nothing wrong with ME:A’s premise, it was the execution that was left wanting. There’s so much you can do there, especially since we’ve only seen one cluster.

ME1's galaxy was way more compelling to me. A well established human presence in a diverse, populated alien world. Lines up better with what I want (wanted) out of a Bioware game.

To be fair, though, when the head development guy says in an interview that his primary thought when creating a game in a specific setting is that he hates that setting and the characters associated with it, maybe that's not the right guy to be put in charge of making a game in that setting. KOTOR2 is a brilliant and original game in many respects, but it is a game based around "What if Star Wars was nothing like Star Wars?"

I never players KOTOR2 but I skimmed a good LP of it that cut the filler, showed the cut content, and let the party dynamics show. Better than playing it. I did play KOTOR1 and the reveal was so good I still have fond memories despite remembering nothing else about the game

The KOTOR2 LP on the archive is an excellent distillation of what makes it good media. Kind of like a good movie commentary track, especially with how it curated the cut content.

Koror 2, especially now with all the cut content mods and workshop support, is head and shoulders above Kotor 1. And Kotor 1 is a classic.

Kotor 2 was written with a ton of stuff they expected some QC suits at Lucasarts to read and demand they change it to fit the "star wars" canon and when no one said anything they went ahead with the game as written. It was as close as revisionist OC Star Wars fanfic as it could get.

DarkHorse posted:Milky Way galaxy but now you can build relays to completely unexplored areas would be the best of both Even before the ending of ME3 this would have been a good direction for the sequel. There are a ton of inactive and dormant mass relays in the Milky Way galaxy, someone messing up and opening a portal to the Nightmare Nebula is a great premise.

I always imagined they left that intentionally blank. It’s never clear exactly how much of the Milky Way is presently part of the citadel’s network, or if multiple citadels existed in the Milky Way to act as Reaper hubs, or how the council society handled further exploration and settlement.

After the Rachni Wars the Council stopped opening up new Relays which is why the Turians poo poo their pants when humans managed to activate their own relay. As far as I know the games haven't said anything about the Terminus Systems having a similar policy, so maybe they're still expanding out there.

If I'm not mistaken, the Terminus systems sorta follow the same "don't open new relays" doctrine even if not following Council law. They just wanna chill and be space pirates, not summon Cthuhlu. I liked in ME2 how loving everyone in those systems was like "yea, that relay is scary af, we never use it!" in regards to the collector relay.

one of the weird things in ME is that there aren't more giant spaceguns. like the krogan were apparently the only ones smart enough to build mass driver emplacements in the history of forever, but i still would have expected the Turians to have made their top secret moon base just a giant gun.

A scar which is noticeably absent on the planet in ME2's probing minigame. The thanix cannon is a sort of mass driver thst the turians made but humans and krogans are the ones who build their stuff around big guns. Human dreadnought like the Everest follow the halo UNSC design philosophy of big gun with engines.

Before ME3 came out I thought that was going to be the logical endpoint of the reaper conflict -- all the galactic races hotwiring the mass relays into superweapons.

I figured that a combination of a. having to slowboat in from dark space, b. Milky Way races getting juuuuust far enough ahead technologically because of Sovereign's delay and c. Your Choices would have led to the Reapers being weak enough to defeat, but I guess they needed space magic

I think the best way to fight the Reapers using the relays would have been to actually draw them towards a mass relay then blow the thing up. like if in the arrival DLC you waited until just after the Reapers got to the system then hit it with the big rock. boom, like 98% of all reapers gone right then.

40 hours into my new Andromeda play through, and I’m greatly enjoying it. I find I’m enjoying the Angara more and more. I’m enjoying the party members and Drack is probably my favorite Krogan, even over Wrex. He’s not an rear end in a top hat and him and Jaal bond pretty quick. I also read the book Nexus Uprising and really enjoyed it. It does a good job of leading into Andromeda and setting up the important characters there. I actually found I couldn’t put the book down because it starts with a red alert emergency, and just keeps escalating. The book has poo poo pressed to 11 almost the whole time, and aside from one possibly minor but super lovely character, everyone’s motives are relatable and there’s really no bad guys.

I had a good time with Andromeda but the Angara are just nothing but dead weight for the entire plot. Everything about them plus the scourge is garbage terrible even the little hints you get about the kett society and empire are way more interesting then anything Angaran. The Roekarr/evil Angaran guy was genuinely dumb as poo poo for a plot device even compared to some of the braindead ideas that were also signifcant quests in the game waaah! I want to have a baby as society is crumbling so I'll steal a ship and hop from planet to planet trying to hide from everyone
