How do you know it's the Main Side Mission of that planet?
A lot of the game is "our princess is in another castle!" and "here's part one of a six-part puzzle."
It would be a fun experiment for someone who is not me to count the number of times you find X thing and have to find three or four more X things in order to triangulate the position or recover the object or rescue the person.
One of the worst examples has you
chasing a woman infected with a particularly virulent disease. First you have to trace her steps across the Nexus and then you have to get in your ship and jump from planet to planet to planet before finally getting to the right spot. It's an incredibly boring sequence, and that's before you get to the concluding battle between yet another series of faceless bad dudes.
Also, the game is really buggy. It's buggy in a lot of ways, many of which are easily replicated and should have been addressed.
Oh, and I dislike Liam, possibly even more than James Vega. I wanted to enter the game and punch him during his loyalty mission. Although
I really liked the Star Wars reference Ryder makes.

Liam needs to go. Can't stand him. Replace him with Reyes.

Turbocharge is pretty good if you're gonna focus on weapons. It's basically adrenaline rush/marksman from the previous games. Tactical cloak is probably the best damage boosting power in the game so that's probably something you should look into.

Well, this game might be redeemed after that.

Man, this game is beautiful at times...
Damn it. Quest to fight the an
on Eos bugged out. It won't move
architect
on to it's third location and just floats in the sky and of course you can't do any real damage to it.
Ended up going
with Drack. Felt good, plus they can always scrounge up another pathguy.

That quest bugged for me, too.
After I placed the first device, the mission objective had changed to go to meet someone and assumed I'd already placed the second device. Obviously no one was at the meet point, though the objective marker was

My inventory is permanently showing me an exclamation mark for new items but there's nothing new. I don't think they could have devised a more annoying bug.
I had that problem with nobody there too, I just saved and relaunched the game and they showed up
Ha. I guess I should
consider myself lucky I at least got to fight it before it bugged.
You know, when
I first got the quest and went to the meeting site no one was there. Was only after coming back after 30 something hours before anyone showed up. Now this.
I guess it's just one buggy ass quest.
So here is a question for everyone who has finished the main mission.
Does the game actually explore some the other darker themes which come with colonisation? ie Slavery or the removal of indigenous populations for living space. It was an interesting subject to discuss prior to release as me and my friends guessed that the krogan/batarians would be against peaceful diplomatic resettlement solutions especially if the local populace was weaker.

What's funny/frustrating about that mission is that it actually has an interesting premise but it's dragged out so long that you hate it by the end of it. That mission should have never left the nexus.
Thanks. If i were to try an adept what would the skills be? Other than singularity that is.
I saved the AI and she spends her time in SAM node plotting how to rid the Hyperion of organics. I went this route because I think it will be more interesting in the sequels

If you liked engi then you could switch to sentinel. ED and Incinerate as primers and Lance (spammable) as detonator. Combos 24/7 and you're basically terminator as far as survivability goes. I don't even use cover and I'm on Insanity.
Yeah, it's confusing!
The hardest choice in the game, lol.

If any previous Mass Effect games goes it won't be mentioned or will just have a single throw away line to "resolve" it.
Did she disappear from the Hyperion after the ending? Because she did for me. I'm thinking either glitch or let's kill this storyline quickly type of thing?
I wished they treated some of their side quests with the care that they do the loyalty missions.
All the loyalty missions take place in their own
I can think of at least 2 sidequests where you're hopping all over the galaxy following breadcrumbs only to end up on a planet that you've already been to

It's a confirmed bug.

I've got that with my inventory too. And the Journal (the goddamn space stoners task that I accidentally completed is stuck with the exclamation mark and no description text in the Completed Missions category). And, even more oddly, the Nexus docking port.
I'm enjoying the game despite the issues, but I'm starting to think it was secretly outsourced to Bethesda.

Pretty much sums my thoughts up on Liam's mission. It doesn't help that he lacks the capacity to speak like an actual person.

Adepts are a bit interesting in how you can build them. If you want to play a ranged caster playstyle, your best bet is going singularity, throw, and pull, where you use pull+throw against unshielded/unarmored foes, and singularity + throws against large groups or armored/shielded targets. The problems with something like this is that singularity is the only ranged biotic primer that can prime defended targets, but its cooldown isn't particularly great so you'll mainly have to rely on weapons to strip shields and do armor damage. I haven't found anything as effective against shields as the acolyte from me3, but from what I've used of the reegar it's fairly decent.
Now a close ranged adept is another story, since annihilation can also prime defended targets. I personally run annihilation, throw, and lance in order to pull off combos as quick as possible but there are a ton of ways to can build this. For example, charge might be a good idea since you'll be really close to enemies and probably taking a lot of damage. In the end you should probably just experiment and try whatever you like best since you get tons of skillpoints in this game can always respec later if you want.

Setting up an outpost on
, and the dialogue option says
. Where's the
option?
Also, I like to pretend that when I'm taking off of this planet, the marching bugs are lice and SAM says "Now leaving Addison's scalp, Pathfinder.".
Elaaden
"Fuck Tann."
"Fuck Addison."

I think that's a bug. Apparently if you select a brown female Ryder as your character it will default Alex to white. It is suppossed to be altering his appearance and race based on your choices.

The parents are supposed to be based on whatever preset you chose for your main character. I went with female preset 1 (Asian), and got this guy as my dad, which seems like a pretty good match for my character.
It wouldn't surprise me if they'd managed to screw up something there and have a bug that loads the wrong parents with certain presets, though.

just did this this afternoon, & yeah: this game sets new standards for 'padded content'
...& this was following the mission where i had to trail someone by scanning a footprint, hopping in the nomad, driving to the next spot, hopping out, scanning a footprint, hopping back in the nomad, etc. smh - really, i wanna like this game, but it makes it soooo hard!
...So it's either a bug, or based on the preset and not your actual changes, in both cases Bioware needs to fix it ASAP, it didn't bother me too much because
both parents only appear in the first ~30 minutes

Question for a late-game Remnant vault.
Is it possible to get both rem-tech containers during the Elaadan vault escape? That damn smoke monster is too damn fast.

Nothing in my journal has broken yet, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time.
I got hit with the smoke and it didn't even kill me, so anything is possible

I tried
for both but could only grab one
The game basically spells it out for you, can't be missed unless you weren't paying attention.

I'm pretty sure it's that
Liam gave the Angaran chick Nexus access codes, she got caught by pirate dude and you needed to spring her before he got access to them.

uhhh, I only have the last story mission left, about 50 hours play time, and I have no idea what an

They're those giant octopus like robot you've seen in the trailer. Think of them like ME's Dragons. You'll see one during the final battle.

Yeah I suspect that character models' skins are white by default and the black colours are an overlay or something as I had a weird cutscene moment where my (black) Ryder reached a hand out somewhere and his hand and wrist turned pink halfway up to the elbow, lol!
That's weird. Both of my Ryder's were white yet my mom had quite dark skin.
The map is shaped kind of like a question mark, or a P, right? Get the first one, turn right, sprint around through that hallway and get the second one on your way back to the end. The smoke kind of chases you linearly, you won't end up running into the smoke in front of you accidentally.

Damn, some people on another forum I frequent were like "the Isharay is best when it's got a vintage heat sink" and they were not exaggerating. I slapped a vintage heat sink and seeking plasma augment on the thing before crafting it, then added an SR chassis and barrel mod, and I've got a gun that's giving me all sorts of ME1 flashbacks. All it needs are permanent explosive rounds that cause absurd ragdolling to completely fill the role of ME1's absurdly OP sniper rifles.
On a less positive note, I had a few Bronze matches with fucktards who didn't revive or go for the objectives, which led to at least one match ending in failure.
