  • Ugh, I didn't think it was cool at all, I remember when they first confirmed Wrex wasn't going to be a party member in 2. I was glad they at least brought back two of my favorites from 1, and that DA stuck with Varric, but the constant shake ups get tiring.

    But that's a really cool thing that DA does! Though it is DA's thing so ME doesn't have to do it.

  • I can understand why it'd be frustrating but for me I just loved having a set of new characters that I loved every game.

  • How'd you hit 90? NG+ or just a higher difficulty? I was level 61 at the end of my game, after doing everything but all the tasks.

    As for my loadout, at the end of the game, I settled on;
    Crusader shotgun and Revenant rifle
    Biotic Charge, Singularity, and I swapped between Throw and Lance for my third.

    Game wise, I'm a level 90. Profile wise, I have the level 6 (Peerless Sentinel) Sentinel bonuses.

  • Currently rocking Incinerate/shield drain/overload, rank 5 sentinel carrying a sidewinder/revenant. Tech and fire explosions galore.

    Anyone want to share their power load outs? I'm using Backlash/Remnant VI/Flamethrower. (Sentinel) Weapon load out is the Krogan Hammer, SIdewinder Pistol, Dhan Shotgun and the N7 Valiant Sniper Rifle

  • Developers have become pussies tbh, parat from Rockstar games and CD projekt RED, I recall not long ago Fallout 3 had the options to enslave people,blow up an entire town with a nuke and so on. Now its all about offence and PC culture and we can't have fun things anymore. Paragon/Redegade options in ME1 where the best probably and where still good in ME2. ME3 already had very limited dialogue/choices which is the reason it was crap even if the ending was better.

    Neither. There's a glitch on Voeld where you disable three machines that give you unlimited experience points. When you disable the machines you get around 500 experience points and for some reason this glitch has it where every time you run past this certain area the game thinks your disabling the machines for the first time giving you 500 experience points every time you run by the area. Since there's no level cap in the game you can literally run by the area over and over until you have enough experience points to max out every single ability if you want.

  • Hey if you start a new game with a new character.Where do you load your previous saves like your previous character and I'm on Xbox One.So,I'm new to how to load your previous character and I don't what to start over my recent save.Help please.

  • On the the main menu you would click LOAD GAME and use LB or RB to get to your previous character's game. If already in game you would go to the pause menu and click GAME(the gear icon) then go to LOAD GAME and then to your previous character.

  • I really hope they can do something with character customization(mid-range patch plan/~month). You really don't know just how limiting it is until you try to make a second character of the same ethnicity. Pretty brutal.

    We don't really need it to be Dragon Age Inquisition level of customization. That was probably a bit too involved, but a few more presets would be nice.

  • It's not perfect, but it's an improvement in certain areas.

    They've already confirmed CC is going to get updated in a future patch (hopefully the next one). I'm kinda glad I haven't bought the game yet, I wanna experience it at as close to its best as it can get, or at least once the CC is improved. While they're obviously not perfect the first patch has already made some significant improvements.

    Here ya go, ME fans:

  • The eyes are improved, but personally, I would've used a redder shade for the eye corners rather than a blacker one. It looks 100 times better, but still a bit odd when characters look to the side. There was probably a reason for it(perhaps the red looked distracting against the Asari blue).

    The lipsync seems much better so far as well.

    The increased inventory is nice, even though I got used to the limit of Inquisition rather easily(which was worse) and wasn't finding the need to destroy items mid-collect in this game.

  • A couple of the plot holes he mentions were explained(not very well, but they were... in side quests). The problem with the game is the writing. Good writing can make a bad game good, or in this case, an okay game great.

    I did enjoy his Liam criticism. Terrible character.

  • Ever since this morning I haven't been able to deploy my strike teams. Every time I go to the strike team console there's only one mission that can be done and usually there's dozens of them at a time. Is this a bug or is this usual? I heard people say strike team missions eventually refresh but I'm talking about 15 hours now and no new strike team missions have come out.

  • It's more that he thinks he's hilarious and acting like your best friend even though you just met him. He's that person who's your friend just because he won't go away. I guess it depends on whether you think he's funny or not. So, to me, he's worse than Jacob. Mass Effect 2 at least let you talk back to bland Jacob. You just have to put up with Liam if you don't like him.

  • I'll boot up the game and check. I previously played 60+ hours, constantly sending 2 teams at a time on missions, and never ran out. I don't think that should happen.

  • NO SPOILERS PLEASE

    To those of you that have played the game: How much of a role does your sibling have? I'm just curious, don't tell me if they like die or something. Are they noticeable in the story or is it like a "they exist but are just kind of there" situation? Again don't spoil anything.

  • The latter.

    Got a spoiler question.

    I know your dad dies pretty early on, but exactly how early? Second mission, third? And would you say it's an emotional moment or more of a "eh we hardly knew him so oh well" thing?

  • 1st mission, you're character barely cares.

  • I would say more of the former.

    soysauce posted: »

    The latter.

  • They are brought front and center for a small portion of the game. It's not a role that couldn't have been filled by an existing crew member, but they did alright giving them a reason to be there.

    I'll just say, that personally, I thought they would have had a bigger role than they did.

  • Yep. Your sibling is the only one whom has a realistic reaction to it.

    Granted, your dialogue options can give you the attitude that he was completely distant and you didn't get along, if you wanted.
    That's the only way it really works at all.

  • I'm starting a 100% playthrough(or as close as I can) and that will really settle on where the game sits with me. I don't play a lot of games, but I usually aim to 100% the ones I like... and with all it's faults, I still like this game.

    Just from a completionist standpoint, I can tell you it will rank better than Inquisition. This game has more tiny sidequests and a lot less collecting in return. Plus, you have the option of playing the war room..err..strike team missions if you want to.

  • Liams okay, at least hes kinda different to other characters weve seen before.

    I prefer Liam and Pebee to complete bland characters (vetra) or repeats of older characters (drack). Even if liam and pebee are kinda annoying

    I've tried leaving the ship, saving and reloading, shutting the game off and none of that helps. It's been like this for me on the PS4 and app since yesterday morning. For a brief time last night there were a few missions that I could do, but besides that brief few hours it's been the same thing. Only 1 mission available all day. It's weird, new missions apparently come around at 8pm EST. After you do those though there aren't any new missions for the whole day until 8pm roles around again. I seem to remember more missions being available all the time.

  • This is an interesting discussion of the possible problem with Andromeda...the animation dialogue system.

    It also gives you some interesting insight to just how RPGs differ from games like Uncharted.

  • I didn't really mind him, but on that note I also only took him on missions about as much as I did Jacob(when I had to). He did have some amusing scenes though, one with Jaal comes to mind, as well as his loyalty mission.
