Attempted murder is a crime, but in Andromeda there's no room for middle ground at that point. They don't have the resources to jail him, so it's exile or nothing.

Probably cause it's all grind, less banter

You silly people and your single player. Why isn't anyone talking about the glorious new arrival in the Heleus cluster?!?
If this kind of madness is just the beginning of the MP addons I cannot wait for the rest lol.
Edit : If she has the gleeful character of the engie she will surely become my favourite.

EA servers seem almost as shitty as Capcom ones. Hope they can fix these disconnection issues.

I want this character a lot. She doesn't seem quite like the Krogan Warlord from ME3 multiplayer, but I've yet to see her skill tree.

I'm so torn on this game guys..
Last guardian, Nioh, Horizon, Zelda..
In that order are my last 4 games..

I hope her Nova animation has her putting the hammer down.
What I mean is in this particular case, I have EA Access, he got an early copy of the game, was sharing it with me, so I was worried that my saves would somehow get messed up between his copy and my EA Access trial.

She looks like a lot of fun, I hope luck is on my side and I unlock her this weekend.

Love her design, but those skills... idk. Annihilation and Nova is a fun combo, but Pull? Not sure I'm seeing the utility there.
Need to see her skill tree I guess.
Game is pretty great, loving the exploring, talking to crew members and the combat. Feels like good old Mass Effect even if it's not GOTY it's still very good to me. Though not having any performance issues on PC has likely colored my impressions more positively than others. Console versions seem to have more issues that might make it better to wait but I don't how bad they really get.

Dude. It's atrocious right now on all PS4s. I'm on a pro and it's plain unacceptable.
For those with Charge, which final evolution are you taking?
Shock Trooper: +75% Recharge Speed
Bastion: +75 Damage Resistence, +50% Shields Restored, +35% Damage
I feel like the first one is better when coupled with a specced out Annihilation and Nova, but just want to make sure.

Ooo that's niceLove the preorder Chrome skin for the mako
As a biotic I always go recharge speed over power, always had in previous games.
If you're doing nova you should go for shields. Charge in, nova, nova, charge
I went with Shock Trooper; running Annihilation and Nova as well.
Is everyone using shields to fuel Nova? I'm actually not right now, but I'm considering changing to it.
Big Spoiler Paarchero thoughts?
So who did you guys save? Pathfinder Raeka and the Salarians or Drack scouts? On the one hand saving the Krogans means no more exaltation brcause they said they almost mapped the DNA of them. But on the other, Raeka was a solid Pathfinder and Salarians are more valuable no? Scouts know the risks they take, Salarians were just kidnapped from stasis. Thoughts?

21% completion at 19hrs16min so far.
I find those moments are greatly outweighed by the binary options where you should be able to say more, and how the conversation reaches the same conclusion regardless, unlike previous games.

Installing now. Going to take a short break from Zelda and try it out. If it doesn't grab me, I'll shelf it and happily return to Hyrule. If I like what I play, I'll just have to find a way to juggle the two.

I wouldn't say unlike previous games. Mass Effect 2 started to go this direction and Mass Effect 3 went in this direction even more.

I've definitely wrestled with a few dialogue options already. Not sure if it'll have any actual impact later, but in the moment it felt critical.
I drew her twice on my recent spree. Are Ultra Rare characters worth it over lower rarity characters that are at Rank X? I can't even imagine how long it would take to get a Rank X Ultra Rare character.
Why isn't there a thread for Multiplayer and grouping up, theorycrafting, talking about builds, etc?

I feel that if anything, there's one thing that Andromeda does better than ME 2 & 3. It's more RPG compared to those.
I also love it that there are more named NPCs here, and most of them have something to say about our mission every now and then.

LOL.
Actually laughed out loud.

At least it looks like Jaal is going to be a great character.
The handshake.
Anyways, that sequence where you
encounter the kett leader in the scourge, he comes up on screen Star Trek style and then you just scurry off and oh happen to stumble upon a brand new alien planet that looks like 5 other Mass Effect series planets with aliens who can magically speak English.........sigh

You can buy a chrome skin at the store in the nexus. The preorder skin is golden which also means it depends on the lightning.

I have both the gold and platinum skins, at first, they too were black. Now they show the proper color. Not sure what that is about, but I love the platinum!

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I think there's multiple skins, where did you buy the game ? might be retailer stuff.
I got it from GameStop and it came with pre order code for some sweet armor which gives 25% extra combat EXP and 2 skins for the car, there's chrome (above) and a platinum which gives it sort of a rustic/red look.
No.
They've encountered humans and consequently learned the language from the exiles iirc.

Gamefly delivered today and I just got to the Nexus before turning it off.
My initial impressions are that it's lacking. I wasn't that engaged in the story presented thus far and checked out a couple times during the exposition.
I'm going to give it another go tomorrow, when I'm a bit more awake, and hopefully things will grab me more.

There's multiple references to translators working/not working correctly once you come across their race. Jaal and Peebee quip about them here and there (at random on planets).
Yeah, I noticed that
in the team meeting after we picked up Jaal. Still, was just a bit jarring when the first person I see on that planet starts ripping off English.

I can't tell you how much I disagree with that. To me this doesn't feel like an rpg at all. the conversations in the game so far offers hardly any kind of meaningful choice, it's almost pure exposition. The main form of choice and "roleplay" comes from what order you choose to hear a characters exposition.

Yeah threw me off as well. I kinda wanted them to be speaking their own tongue and have that barrier of communication be played out for a little while at least. Same with the Kett.
Travel for 600yrs to a new galaxy and the first alien you actually hold conversation with speaks English with an European accent to boot. 🙃

Oh yeah, it's probably a shop specific thing. I pre-ordered mine from PSN. Got the Nomad skin that I posted above and a 15% XP armor.

Say what? The previous games were notorious for having different reactions trigger the exact same voiced lines.
Yeah, this is really poorly conveyed. The game tries to play it up like the Pathfinder just made history and discovered a new alien race. But then you can find out via overheard dialogue and datapads that they have already encountered people from the Nexus.

This. While cheapish, renegade and paragon provided different outcomes based on your responses. So far, this is not that.
Using the Asari duelist and most likely going Bastion as it recharges fairly quickly anyway and the extra shields help if I use a melee build/ take lance powerup using shields for no cd. Asari duelist can be build as a beastly melee unit, at level 6 was 2 hit melee killing yellow unshielded units. For people using melee, buying the juggernaut armour is so handy.
