[QUOTE=KaptonJack;52062556]This quest to find [sp]the conspiracy related to the Salarian Ark[/sp] is really bizarre, and all the planet hopping it has you do is honestly frustrating.[/QUOTE]
That quest showed me I have some sort of issue with the game where if I visiting a planet it stats loaded if I visit another. If I visit Eos then fly to Kadara instead of getting 60 frames I get 40 with random slowdowns into the game hitching.
Also, does it actually do anything to accept the [sp]high ranking kett's[/sp] offer ?
Does it just make the [sp]miniboss before the Archon[/sp] disappear ? If so that's kind of a lame trade since that fight was piss easy.
Whats the population like for multiplayer? Is it easy to get a match?

You will find a game instantly but the host will actually be in the andromeda galaxy and the connection will be beyond shit
So I'm pretty confused right now, I just discovered that hitting an enemy with overload primes them for combos. The description says it's a detonator.
Like, I can overload someone, and then detonate it with Lance to get a tech combo.
What?

Isn't that one of the augments you can add to it by levelin' it up?

Nova does the same thing.
I just recently finished the game. For the most part I liked it and the amount of content was well worth the 60 bucks I threw at it imo. While the story wasnt the most amazing, what I like is how this game sets a foundation for future DLCs and sequels for ME series. I look forward to the planned improvements and DLCs and whatever Bio has planned for this.
The worst part of MEA are definitely the bugs, I got too many lock-ups that forced loading a previous save just because of a bug. The most frequent being one where dialog gets stuck for whatever reason and there does not seem to be a way to get out of it other than shutting the game down and relaunching. I also had some issues with the scanner not being able to scan certain stuff or not reaching, almost couldnt finish one quest because of this but managed to just barely reach by dropping into lava.
I was also hoping more from exploration now that the game is set in uncharted territory but this part turned out to be really disappointing beyond the first 2 planets. Most of the exploration stuff are just enemy camps and other loot stuff, so I just did the quests and ignored everything else. Not to even mention the utterly tedious starmap planet exploration, that I dropped almost immediately. Not sure if there is something interesting to discover but I somehow feel that there isnt anything beyond resources and research data.

Few days ago I mentioned having something like 55 gigs of footage. Here's the end result.[/QUOTE]
This highlights why Liam's loyalty mission is great.

All the loyalty missions were pretty solid, IMO. My least favorite was, by far, Vetra's. It wasn't bad, just... eh. Sid's mission where you [sp]uncover Addison hired exiles and that plan exploded in her face[/sp] was a bit more interesting than [sp]I'm Vetra! I swear![/sp]
[QUOTE=KaptonJack;52062948]Isn't that one of the augments you can add to it by levelin' it up?[/QUOTE]
No, I checked. I hope it's a feature and not a glitch to be patched, because I've been loving overload+lance.
Man, some conversations look [URL="https://youtu.be/JfbfZy09kBA"]pretty darn good[/URL]. I really hope that the patches they're rolling out mend some of the explosive pingu lips, and wiggly eyebrows that pop up, because when this game does things well, it does them [I]really[/I] well.

The best part was when the [sp] music would cut in and out when the Space Pirate captain was on the view screen, being constantly disconnected. [/sp]
Andromeda is full of shlock, but I did enjoy playing it.
Am I doing this Mass Effect 2 thing correctly?

[sp] so do yall think the Quarian ark is gonna be DLC or a sequel hook? [/sp]
[QUOTE=DepDirkson;52065003][sp] so do yall think the Quarian ark is gonna be DLC or a sequel hook? [/sp][/QUOTE]
[sp]Ark? Fuck that, better be the entire migrant fleet. [/sp]
I was thinking earlier, I would have liked it if you could choose which race to play as in Andromeda.
Like, keep the basic premise. But you get to choose between Human, Turian, Asari, or Salarian. That'd be cool as hell. Not like they don't have the playermodels from Multiplayer. And whichever race you choose, the Human ark takes their place in the story (i.e. if you choose the Turians, you'll find Human survivors on [sp]Havarl[/sp])

If this is right before garrus comes in wearing A a clown suit or B his "tuxedo", then yes.
So in addition to the overload+biotic detonator=tech combo,
I've also found a nice little exploit regarding Lance and Barricade.
If you have the barricade upgrade that removes shield regeneration delay, and you also have the upgrade for lance that makes it use a portion of your shield instead of a cool down, you can infinitely spam lance from behind a barricade. Nice for some fast dps.

Holy shit the console bit was amazing. Especially the face Liam made and the end bit.
[sp]"I shot the console... do you think he'll be mad?"
'What more could he do?'

Wait hold on what's this now?
I need to try this that sounds amazingly broken.
Although that being said I'm loving the whole Vanguard 'charge, nova, melee, repeat' juggernaut thing. I feel unstoppable most of the time and just usually end up zipping around a complex murdering people with my sword and chasing down stragglers who run away screaming.

Clown suit you say? Ah hell, I'll gladly take the excuse to bring this back.

How have I never seen the second part of that video? Damn

I didn't know they had cut a scene showing Garrus leaving C-Sec!
The ending was genuinely incredible. Probably my second favorite in the series, behind ME2.
Can't wait for tomorrow's multiplayer balance patch. Hopefully powers and guns receive good buffs
tired of melee vanguard/asari adept being the only really good playstyle
I genuinely think once the facial animations get a few polish patches, and some of the more [I]frustrating[/I] bugs get ironed out, this game will be incredible. It's far from the weakest entry into the series, imo.

This is a pretty shit video, but it's all I could get since it took my by surprise.. I'm wondering if anybody else had this issue?

Briefly in the second-to-last mission, Cora and Liam's faces seemed to revert to their... older state? They matched the faces on the "Squad Selection," screen, instead of their updated models.
