MASS EFFECT: ANDROMEDA (Here be Spoilers)


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

Chris reminded me - I have a small little bug (at the moment) that better not turn into a bigger one

There is a +50 XP banner on my screen at all times when I am running around. It goes away when I am in menus or dialogue but when I am just walking around it is there.

I will probably search today to see if it is a common thing or not

Has anyone else encountered a Kett base yet?  I was driving around Eos and say some huge thing and it was a massive base full of enemies that you can try to takeover.  It isn't part of the story.  I don't even know if it can be called a side quest.  It is the most fun I've had with the game so far.

There are a few things "not on the map" on Eos. I suggest driving around the whole map i found 2 things by accident driving from Point  A to B across the desert.

BTW - if y'all are on and playing MP and you see me playing the single player - shoot me a request. I will switch over.

Heck - we could do some of these strike force fiascos

FYI unless you're really lucky I think it's impossible to do all the quests on the planet in one go. I was trying to finish up a sidequest on Eos and it took me longer than it should have to realize I can't do it just yet I needed to go off world and come back later to finish it up.

Also I let my daughter create a FemRyder, she has interesting tastes for a character. Pink hair, Charlotte Flair-esque blue eyeshadow, green Día de Muertos face tattoo.

I'm level 4, I'm on Eos, and all my skill points are in Incinerate, Overload and Energy Drain. Meaning I can instantly detonate Fire Combos whenever I want, and recoup Shields off powerful enemies. Never really specced a pure tech before, but it works pretty well so far.

See that eye tattoo that's also on the back of the neck? It's in 2 pieces, it's not going all the way around the scalp. I like to make my characters bald. Especially if they're women.

It is. The radiation on Eos alone makes it impossible to do in one go.

It seems that most of the side quests require two locales.

Like all the ones I picked up on the Nexus require me going elsewhere off site to finish

This one guy on the Nexus wanted me to leave his necklace on the spot on Eos where his brother liked to sit and think, before he was shot. But if he hadn't got shot, he'd have died of radiation poisoning anyway. I was starting to think it was a set-up to kill the Pathfinder.

I went out to dinner with my dad. 

Why is he taking so long to eat this fucking slice of carrot cake?

The Maori Pathfinder and I have work to do.

I could also stand to knock out a load of laundry.

I feel like im starting to get the hang of multiplayer a little bit. Still no dan but gettin better. Just unlocked my first krogan just in time to turn it off. 

Also got the salarian operator today. 

Stickin with my human male soldier though untill i get all the skills. 

While playing, I had an asari huntress on my team. She kept cloaking us. While i took advantage (eapecially in the hack) the other 2 did not. She goes down on extraction with 45 seconds or so left. I revive her thinking that cloak will be nice in the extraction. Instead i bleed out watching her take off in the ship.

It wasn't that much radiation, but yeah, that guy's brother was kind of moron.

Let the man savor his delicious carrot cake.

Okay, so I played a little bit more after getting back from dinner with my old man, but had to prep for the drive back to MD today, so here are a few more thoughts from my Pacific Island Pathfinder's adventures on Tutorial Planet:

  • Yeah, I am still on Habitat 7.  I managed to clear most of the map and complete all of the optional objectives that I am aware of right now (Mysterious Cave, Alien Construct aka "What The Fuck Are These Robots Doing Here?", and all of the Rescue Your Comrades stuff..).  Time to save my in-game father, I suppose.  I'll have to handle that later since I am old and had to be at work at six in the fucking morning.  The Army never goes to bed.
  • It probably won't happen this weekend, either.  I kinda sorta promised my beloved female domestic partner that we'd spend more quality time and try to improve our relationship aka no video games this weekend.  I'm not totally bummed since that means beer and pizza and college basketball and maybe a shoulder massage if I play my cards right.
  • I am complete shit at platform games, so I'm not crazy about the idea of treasure and hidden goodies being squirreled away on three dimensions rather than two sprawling dimensions where a simple map search will do.  This is the complication that comes with being able to Jump.  So far, I've come across two cleverly camouflaged ledges on the Habitat 7 map where I have found lootable containers and I'm sure I missed something along the way.
  • Melee is not as intuitive as it is in ME3, but at least things get dead when you hit them with an Omni-Blade.  I am afraid to try and hit the hoover melee for fear of being picked out of the sky by enemy gunfire.  Liam has Havoc Strike, so he may have to be my Death From Above guy.
  • I have way too much shit to keep track off. Stats, skills, resources.  I am going to have to cheat a bit and research some builds since I was dumb and wanted to be an Infiltrator, so now I have to find a happy medium between Combat Skills and Tech Skills knowing that the game will be stingy with XP and force me to make hard choices.  I also need to make sure I don't waste resources building shit I don't really need although my OCD will say, 'YOU NEED EVERYTHING~!!!"
  • I hate having to be "proficient" with guns again.  This is a step back from ME2 and ME3 when you had simple builds that favored some weapons, but you were equally good with any firearm.  Your only problem was balancing the weight of your load-out and making sure that the class of weapon you got bonus damage with was in your arsenal.  This new system allows me to be really good with certain guns, which means I'll be complete shit with others and we're back to ME1 in a not so good way.
  • I thought that OCD would compel me to go Captain Kirk and romance PB since MyShep has already done the human love thing with Ashley , but Cora is not bad looking and seems to dig my Tongan Stealth Machine, so we will see where this goes.
  • Okay, so Liam is a Combat Specialist and Cora is my Token Biotic for now and my beloved Power Wheel is gone.  I am not going to be setting off any Power Combos when we go to rescue my dad.  Thanks, Bioware.
  • I am such a dick apologist.  I am all "We're the invaders here!" when these asshole unknown aliens (Yeah, I know they're the Kett..) are clearly the aggressors.  There is no misinterpreting shooting a man in the head who is trying to surrender his weapon.  Culture be damned.  Thanks for the free Avenger AR though.
  • Field Repurposing can kiss my ass.   
  • Liam has anger issues.  The fucking alien is dead, bro.  Continuing to shoot the corpse is a waste of thermal clips.
  • God, is that Viper sniper rifle that you get when you find Cora's shuttle?  It performs like a Mantis, not that I am disappointed about finally being able to cloak and score headshot kills.
  • Jesus Fuck, the guns in this game.  The M3 Predator wasn't a half bad handgun in ME2 and ME3 and now it is back to being the GTA 9MM Pistol that can't kill effectively for jack shit.  We're back to the sliding scale of weapon upgrades again.
  • I take it that the million billion resources and mods I have painstakingly gathered will be of no use to me until I get back to the Hyperion and get my own starship.  I did not miss the bullshit weapon research from ME2 and item crafting can kiss my ass.  Just give me the fucking mods as loot and let me install them in my guns on the fly.
