I hope no strings attached hasn't stopped that train.
Question about Cora.
At what point do you pick up the Eos side quest called
"Signs of Life"

Good point. The Reapers could have seen it as a threat and targeted any mention of the Initiative
Oh, that was pretty early on for me. I wanna say it was around the time that I got access to Voeld and Havarl but I'm not sure what triggered the quest.
On a different note, I finished up the
Ryder Family Secrets
benefactor
The Illusive Man
More like this is just a hypothetical question because BioWare needed a reason to come to Andromeda. But I'll answer with the question in mind. This was set up before the Reapers even known. And then hardly anyone believes they actually exist after ME1. Why would anyone go on a cryo journey to another galaxy just because. They don't know the world or universe is ending. I also think they needed at least 100k on each ark to make it seem like a larger population came. It is essentially a one way trip to the unknown.

this area can be mined for resources
you can extract minerals using your mining interface
Does SAM ever get any kind of character development or personality? This stupid AI is seriously becoming the worst part of this game for me. He never shuts the fuck up telling me the most obvious things that are displayed on the screen. I know that the temperature is high/low. I know that my life support is falling/back to normal. I know that I should use my scanner in this area. Just shut up already.
This makes me think back to that thread with people bitching about Aloy in Horizon talking too much and getting in the way of player exploration. As someone who had no problem with her commenting on everything or Geralt talking to himself or whatever, SAM is driving me crazy.
If you are sensitive to that kind of stuff do not play this game.

Can someone please explain how you get across that gigantic chasm on havarl?I've done everything and I still can't access that portion of the map and I'm tired of scouring the internet for answers no one seems to want to provide.
He is pretty damn integral to the story and also some side missions, so yea he gets a lot of development.
You do missions, it'll open up on its own after one of the missions.
Where did you pick it up on Eos? What is it? Is it the
Asari Ark

I'm at the end of the game, I've done everything, there is nothing left to do. Still no access.
It has to do with the
Ark
Podromos
You can just disassemble the crafted bit to get the augs out and remake it if you have to get it now and don't want to wait for the leveled up version.
Ah, so is it the quest that takes you from
Podromos to Voled
find pieces of that crashed ship?
Yep
SAM might be the most annoying thing in the game that didn't need to be annoying. He doesn't need to comment every single time you enter a cooler or warmer area. Like I'm trying to listen to NPCs talking and SAM is chattering away about the weather. EDI was awesome - how did they take such a huge step back in this department?
Beat my first round of Gold on MP against outlawas. Crazy match that came down to the wire as we got upload for wave 6 and completed it with only 6 seconds remaining. Used all my consumables in that game was definitely a big step up from silver. Cannot imagine beating gold against kett. Would need a really well put together team.

is dismantle 1:1?
No, but you do get all the augs back

Great. Thanks a bunch.

Ah thank you.
This might sound stupid, but the M8 Assault Rifle.
I don't have any blue prints to research for this and I can only make a level 3 version.
Is there somewhere I can buy the blue print or is that it for this gun?
The way the "new items" in the Codex works is infuriating to me. I hate having the stupid marker showing me there is new stuff, but then having to dig through each category and sub-category to magically hit an entry that doesn't have a marker by it that is making it think there is a new item. Aghhhh! OCD!
Keep doing more critical path missions and the radiation clears more. You will come back to do a lot of side missions and get upto 100% viability.

Went in with an open mind and I'm really enjoying it so far.
It feels...safe. Very safe. Trying a bit too hard to recreate those original trilogy feelings. But nonetheless, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying it!

That's EXACTLY what it is.
But it's also more than that because other dialogues with that person and crewmates change to reflect that they are in a relationship. Even the basic greetings, goodbyes and offhand remarks by cremembers while you walk aorund change. You can get into a relationship even if you don't pick the "love" option everytime it pops up.
In past games all you had was you pick those options and if you miss even one or two it's done and outside of those options and the sex scene nothing really tells that there is something going on at all.

I know nothing about the story or anything in this game. Went pretty blackout minus some hilarious gifs from the animation thread and one trailer.
Before I start who's voice actor is better Scott or Sara?

I actually agree. The gameplay is really fun even if there story isn't. I'm also enjoying the locales.
My impressions after ~40 hours (still have a long way to go; according to the load screen I'm at less than 25% completion, which is kind of intimidating).
Interactions and relationships with squadmates and crew is the best part of the game for me so far, it's much improved from everything Bioware did before. I love how many interactions there are, how the crew comments on everything that happens and how there are a lot of full fledged dialogs/cutscenes where you get to pick an answer, instead of just linear auto-dialogue with static camera. Amount and variety of romance options is impressive, must have taken a lot of work.
That, along with:
- beautiful environments
- multiple hubs with many NPCs you can interact with
- the freedom and feeling of exploration when planetside (Nomad is awesome)
- character development system with lots of cool skills to choose from
- a decent variety of good-looking weapons and armor
- combat: it's fun, most of the time
are the highlights of the game for me at this point.
Things that are a letdown:
- poor animations and glitches, I'm sad to say they really sour the experience for me this time (didn't have this problem with previous Bioware games)
- weak and uninspired main story (at least so far).
- fan-fiction comic quality writing in some interactions (like meeting
for the first time)
- UI: it's intrusive and poorly thought out, with constant unwanted info pop-ups and indicators that can't be switched off, and having to look for updated entries in the codex and journal because there's no indication which section they are in.
- frustrating checkpoint save system (give me back the ability to quick save whenever I want, please)
- combat: I miss the ability to direct squadmate power usage to chain combos, feels like a whole additional tactical layer of combat is now gone.
- character creator: it's very limited and missing basic options needed to truly customize a face from the initial template.
- music: it feels like it's simply missing most of the time (DA:I had the same problem) and forgettable the rest of the time

Charge, Nova, Backlash. Charge to an enemy, drop a Nova on their head, blast a few shotgun rounds into them and then pull out a Biotic Barrier in case Charge hasn't recharged yet.
I wish I could direct my teammates to use their powers, though. I've got Jaal and Drack with me, but they don't always use their powers when they should.

Fryda Wolff's performance as Sara is several magnitudes more convincing than the actor who portrayed Scott, I think. So that one.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
:-/
I would agree. Scott's voice actor doesn't match the character as much. But they're both not bad. They really messed up with Sara's look though. Jayde Rossi looks much better than how they have Sara in game while they nearly 100% nailed the model they got for Scott.
Literally the same thing happened to my PeeBee too. :lol
same happend to me aswell today haha so annoying
