Nope. You can still go back and do/collect whatever you need after finishing the game.

Ok cheers. I've fully done two of the hunting sites but that's it. Overall am about 55% done. This game is amazing.

So after I finished Mass Effect Andromeda and I got a new TV, I finally can replay the game!
I'm right before entering Mother's Heart before The Proving. One thing I learned that didn't know (because I didn't pay attention) is that being an outcast is a sentence like prison, depending on your crime the time you'll end up being an outcast. I thought once an outcast you couldn't be accepted in the tribe again.

It'll be available on their YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC75PWWQrls0z6fh0loY5I4Q Initially with English subs only. (French and Spanish added at a later date.)
Agree with the guy who had minor complaint about standing in place during conversations.
Wish game was like Witcher in that respect. Also wish they gave something to acknowledge playing through hardest difficulty. Would have been cool.
Lastly wish NPC's were not completely static in towns and cities.
They don't even move when you bump them.
Otherwise great game had a blast. They should be proud, excellent fun.

Are you sure you're knocking them off with tear weapons and not destroying them?
The weapon has to drop on the ground and be usable by you for it to count.
Try it on Ravager cannons in case Thunderjaws feel bugged to you.
Yes, I actually go pick them up, did not kill thunderjaw with it though.
Ok, just killed 6 ravagers with their own canons. Still nothing.
This is legit one of the coolest areas in the game
Yeah. I sold all my hearts. Only keep the thunderjaw, stormbird, rockbreaker, and behemoth as there will be some quests that need the hearts of those machines.

Trying to do the key side quests that result in the best ending but when I go to the location of this quest there is no one there to trigger it? :S

This is a fairly easy plat to get, it just takes some time. Most of it just involves completing the story and collecting things. A couple of the hunting challenges may be some trouble but even on very hard they are all doable with some thought, strategy, and some retooling of weapon mods in some cases. You can also just change the difficulty at any time. I'm sure on easy you can do the hunting challenges no problem.
Perhaps it requires you to tear of 5 different types of weapons? Meaning 5 different enemy types? I don't know, just guessing.
There's nothing that's too hard or time consuming. If you have trouble with the hunting challenges, wait until later in the game when you have better gear and mods, it makes a huge difference in beating the timers.
Gear is the same across all merchants.

By the time I was finished with the story I only lacked a few trophies and still had enough fun with just running around the world that none of them really seemed like chores.
Except maybe the 23 dummies, but that also was just a thing of like 10-15 min with the help of a youtube video.
Its a really easy platinum.

Finished it last night. Fucking excellent game. Definitely top 5 of what I've played this gen.
Quick clarification: clocking it puts you before the final encounter in a story context sense, not a save state sense, i.e. all your loot from the final encounter persists, etc. Correct?
So, effectively, you can just loop the ending over and over again?
Tanx!

There are different endings? I didn't do all the side quests and my ending seemed just fine.

There aren't really different endings per say. But
you can get some side characters to join you in the final battle if you do their quest.
if I remember correctly you receive the quest from her father.
I didn't click the link btw. Going from memory.

This guy did it 5 times knocking off disc launchers at the same location by quick saving and reloading last save to unlock the trophy.

For the sequel, I hope we can call over more than just overridden mounts. I was finally able to override a Stormbird, but the bastard just kept circling above in its path.

Finally got around to finishing the game tonight. Great experience overall, but a few aspects were disappointing - overall progression seemed to greatly favor roughly the first half of the game - after a certain point I pretty much had the best weapons I could get, visiting merchants and the currency itself became pointless, and also around this point I'd also seen and fought all of the game's enemies. So while the story kept my interest throughout, some fundamental progression systems had long since run out of gas by the time the credits rolled. I have no doubt that open world games are hard to balance in this respect, and I did do a lot of side quests that first half of the game, but it kinda led to a gradual disinterest on the back half and my attention wandered to other new releases.

Ya. I'm about two thirds through, and feel like I've passed the point where I'm going to get any significant upgrades. I bought all the shadow gear and outfits I wanted a long time ago, and heck I'm level 38 and have all the skills I want now so its not even exciting going in to pick a new skill to learn anymore. A couple of games of the top of my head that were similar it that regard were Far Cry 3 and most assassins creed games.
Hopefully they can smooth out that progression some in the next game
Regarding enemies, I just took down the fabled
Redmaw
a pretty standard Thunderjaw which I had already killed a few of. I loved the backstory and buildup, but didn't one of the codex entries describe his hide had body parts of his victims all over it? He looked pretty regular to me
Buy shadow mod boxes!

Completed it. Loved this game. Played in 4K HDR which meant all my screenshots looked awful and dark for some reason but oh well.
Anyone know why this is? Made a nice screenshot with stars and moon etc then upon export everything is black. No detail :S

This should be it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0eaGRcdwpo
It's a bit more then just about HZD, this is from a serious documentary series that deals with serious issues in the world and society. Still, some very cool shots and there were scenes not in the actual game like a fight with a Thunderjaw between buildings and some sort of temple.

If someone missed it, here's the story a matriarch tells the children before the proving. It's about the goddess and the metal devil.
Sorry about the quality, hdr messes with videos.

Just finished this. Took my sweet time, did all the side quests and errands, maybe fast traveled once. Took SO MANY screenshots. Loved the story.

So this guy Nil is asking for
What happens if I refuse? What am I giving up? Should I go for it?
a duel.
Alex_Mexico
Member
Anyone? Please! I don't want to miss a potential Platinum (damn you all of those hidden trophies!)
Subv3rsi0n

If you refuse, he's initially a bit disappointed but he gets over it and will play a minor role during the finale. Pretty sure you need to refuse the duel if you want Platinum.
Edit: the decision may not actually impact Platinum. I chose not to duel and got the Platinum.

Just go for it, that's what I did since it's what he's always wanted. It doesn't affect the platinum either way.

It does impact the plat.

My understanding is that decision does not impact your ability to get a Platinum.
I refused his duel and got the platinum.

You'll need him for the Platinum.

A lot of mixed signals whether we need him or not for the Platinum. I'm refusing just in case.

100% not required.

fight him
