Mass Effect: Andromeda |OT| Ryders on the Storm

Ah, okay that makes a bit more sense then with the Angara.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still very much enjoying the game. I guess I just need to shift my expectations a bit.
Yeah, is that new? I finished the game and I'm apparently at 6 of 9 cores. I'm thinking of postponing my NG+ playthrough until I do this one since it's Peebee-related.
Also I gotta do 20 sudoku puzzles, without knowing which ones I've done and which might be missing. Great.

Not sure about the base, but inventory Space shot up from 80->200 for me (I have both Inventory Pods).
Also, they changed the playable APEX Missions icons a bit. Looks...smaller?
Wow. So maybe the base is 100 and each upgrade gives +50.
I certainly don't see myself having 100+ of stuff so maybe I can saw those Cryo Pod upgrades for NG+.

The movie night scene was when I learned that Ryder has the ability to turn invisible.
The scourge specifically targets the Jardaan. From that it can be assumed they either fled the system or were wiped out.

I finished the story, and the Ryder Family Secrets quest is still glitched for me. It says I still need to access one more memory, but I know for a fact that I haven't missed one. If I have the quest highlighted there is no orange indicator showing where the objective is, either. I think what happened was I did the Jien Garson stuff before I found the last memory for what ever reason, since it seems like that is the last part of the quest.
I had 1 more remaining too and it didn't show on any planet as an orange selected quest, but turns out I did miss one on Havarl. It didn't even show as a possible quest when I flew to the planet. It wasn't until I actually landed did the quest pop up and it show where I missed.
I'd imagine the full download would be necessary before the patches are applied. But I could be wrong.

I just beat the game and realized I never got my movie night. Never got the next mission after 'The Right Setup'.
Talk to Lexi I believe.

Anyone care to explain how saves work with New Game Plus? I refuse to start a new game using an existing character if it overrides the saves from my first playthrough. Also how does it differentiate saves with characters that have identical names?

Wow the final mission was really cool. In a way, it's what I wanted from the mass effect 3 final act.
I'd probably give the game an 8/10. Definitely enjoyed my time with it despite the problems.
With everyone you've helped throughout the game actually showing up and fighting during cutscenes.

For the people wondering about squad banter, Michael Gamble just confirmed it is working correctly now.

So banter occurs mostly while in the nomad unless it's scripted while on foot.

Check all the "levels" on your map on Havarl one is in a cave, I missed it you never know.

It doesn't override your first save profile. If you opt for the same name, your new game+ save profile will be set as that Ryder's name with a (1) next to it. You can also change the look of your Ryder if you want to. Everything aside from AVP points carries over.

It creates a new save from the profile you beat the game with (last save I believe), no over write. Not too sure about same names as I went with Sara for ng+, I reckon you'd have to go by date... maybe it puts a number in parentheses?
beaten like the dead horse animation situation

Hah, you're right. She'd sent me the email, but all the other important conversations with her must've pushed that one to the back of the queue. :lol

It was on Kadara, lol.
Also, major spoilers for finishing that quest (Ryder Family Secrets):

Welp hearing the last log from Liara nearly wrecked me. Was not prepared for that.

Guy is able to take down Destroyer in like 10 seconds. Nullifiers in like 3 seconds, Fiend in like 5 seconds. Just crazy. Turns his Piranha shotgun into a super fast firing plasma homing beast. Maybe something else better but I was impressed with this.
Did you check Havarl? I missed that one.

There is some (for certain characters) yes. I loaded up the game today and drove around Eladaan with Cora and Peebee. After a discussion between the two about
Peebee's interest in Jaal
I liked it.

Yeah the Piranha can hold its own against bosses. Turbocharge with the 60% clip increase upgrade turns it into a gatling gun that does insane DPS. Lol. Even if you run out of ammo, you can use turbocharge as many times as you want to give you a free clip that has the 60% increase bonus applied. Apply mods that increase size of spare clip and damage, along with bioconverter...you're pretty unstoppable.
I'm torn between the Piranha and Dhan Shotgun, but the former just feels much more satisfying to use. Haha.

I used to like flying the Tempest around the star map. Since the patch, I've got an ugly "skip" icon on my screen every time I fly to a new planet...

Yeah I'm not sure why they added that. It does stand out like a sore thumb to those of us who like the space animations.
It is a heavy handed approach to criticism. Best option would have been an autoskip option to be toggled on in menus. That way those who want to skip don't also have to press it every time and it doesn't ruin the traversal cinematics for everyone else either.
Yeah, I thought it would be in the options menu. But, better than nothing, I suppose.
Yeah this is a great build. A lot of his skills and passives are what I have now except for a few minor differences.
I still don't think I'll give up my Dhan though. Maybe after I've got a Dhan X and have leftover research I'll give it a shot.
You can use his exact build but with the Dhan and a Bio-Converter and I imagine that the damage once all the skill weapon damage bonuses are applied to be almost, if not over 3,000 a shot.
I'm personally going to shoot for a Dhan X and Isharay X, both with Bio-Converters.
But I agree that the Dhan lacks the real *power* behind its shot, like for instance the Claymore. Imagine a Claymore with the Bio-Converter?!
*shudders*
The option to remove helmets during conversations is fine but I wish it would actually adapt to the environnement.
Like if you're on a planet where the atmosphere is safe you don't have your helmet.
It looks dumb to run around town with your helmet.
Also I just got to Harval and I can't see shit lol

Wow, that's some ridiculous geth infiltrator level stuff. I'm gonna have to try this on my second run.

Sorry if this is something that's been answered/dealt with before, but I'm trying to avoid anything being spoiled for me and looking through the thread is pretty much a minefield, regardless of search terms.
My game (PS4 base version) runs like this [early-mid game character and location spoilers] often. Note the difference when panning towards the wall vs the buildings.
Are intrusive frame skipping and half-second freezes a normal occurrence? I know the game has issues, but I'm not finding a lot of specific mentions when it comes to performance. The catch-all seems to be "framerate issues".

Two, technically three but the one in the middle is just some space fetching

If you're already enjoying it, you're in for a treat. I found the game pretty rubbish until after you first leave Eos, which is when the game really comes into it's own.

Sure does feel weird discovering Quarian starship parts inside a long abandoned Remnant shipwreck. Something the Quarians haven't told us? Maybe they've come this way before.
