I went into MEA hoping beyond hope to find another Fan Love Soulmate thing. Like Thane. I don't...regret Jaal........ Jaal is no Thane. And I do not have a MEA Video Game Soul mate. The romance options honestly left me wondering if I shouldn't have a canon single Ryder so they're free for MEA 2. Well if you play as Scott you'll have a few different options and you should no enough about all the characters personalities now to know if you think it will work for you or not. I personally dropped out of the Jaal romance because it really just didn't feel in anyway right and I knew I was just doing it for the sake of doing it. I like PB but I like that type of person, but I also liked that you can interact frequently in a way that feels right for a new relationship. Of all the relationships, I think it is the only one where you can see Ryder have an influence on the character you are romancing over the course of the relationship. Well that's my opinion anyway. I'm thinking Scott will fulfill my Kjarr appreciation before bouncing to Peebee.

She gives you a kiss and tells you she's a career woman. But I liked her rather a lot, personally, and she's pretty, so even a few kisses is good enough to me. Although, was pondering being a man whore intentionally and trying for as many kisses from the ladies in game as possible and still ending up with PB. Keri was alright, wouldn't mind seeing her flirt either.

Go for it, although this play through I am "trying" to stay faithful Already past the point of being able to flirt with Kerri but Avela will be a test!!!!!!

Yeah, it was really not enjoyable for me. The farther along I got, the more I regretted turning Reyes down. Probably the worst Bioware romance I've played. Even Jacob wasn't that bad, but I knew what I was getting into by the time I got around to doing it (and I killed him off in the SM ). I went into MEA hoping beyond hope to find another Fan Love Soulmate thing. Like Thane. I don't...regret Jaal. But there were moments, a LOT of moments, where it became really obvious that the romance must have been written by a man self inserting his own personality into Jaal. ... Jaal is no Thane. And I do not have a MEA Video Game Soul mate. The romance options honestly left me wondering if I shouldn't have a canon single Ryder so they're free for MEA 2. I considered Jaal to be very close to 100% paragon Shepard (when you just hit upper-left/right dialogue option, preferably, without thinking; weird dialogue happens and everyone survives). Just in case, I didn't see his romance and not going to. Edit. About dead pet bug, considering that it died on its own, all is fine.

I did not find Jaal tearing his dead pet bug apart and keeping it as a childhood momento in a box in his room charming. I really seriously reconsidering locking in over this. But then I reminded myself there was no one else and charged forward. Made sense, though. If you really do believe in reincarnation, a corpse isn't something to get squicky about.

It wasn't that the bug died. It was keeping it possibly over 20 years.
But whatever, I've said my peice on him. I enjoyed what I didn't find awkward, weird, and uncomfortable about him. The other 50% as it were.

Nothing there, and no journal entry. I wonder if the game's expecting me to have cleared all the Vaults. Yeah, that seems likely. The world probably isn't considered "fixed", regardless of viability, if you've not reset its vault.

I went with the Jaal arc in my first PT, despite my personal feelings that aliens make gross romantic interests. I like Jaal, but the romance was ugh. He's very "feely" and the sex scene was way too much. I felt awkward watching it.
I disliked Liam for quite a while, but eventually made myself do his arc on my last Sara PT. It helped me like the character better. He comes on a bit strongly, once it's official; but it matches his personality. The dude knows how to plan a date, too. If I ever do another Sara romance, it will likely be Liam, again.
Scott and Cora pair very well together, in my opinion. They seemed to be finally getting together after existing mutual interest. PeeBee's arc is nice, but she acts too childlike for me. I barely liked dating teens when I was one. If a character irritates me even a little, I'll not do their arc more than once. I don't project myself into my characters, but there's also no reason to do something 'meh' repeatedly.

Let's see if can finally finish MEA tonight. I was going to do some writing but leaving something so close to completion undone bothers me.
Off to Habitat 7, I believe.

Final interview about Meridian with Keri: meh.
So, I end the game at:
110 hours 5 strike teams 22 cryo pods Sara Lvl 57 30,000 credits 100% viability everywhere
34/55 "achievements" All "priority ops" and "Allies" missions are complete.
Only 4 Heleus Assignments remain: architect and Remnant tiller related. 1 enemy short for Apex. Too bad for them. No interest.
Only 13 "tasks" remain. It says 14 but one, Eos supplies, is bugged because I didn't do it in the right order.
Hmmm. Anything else?
The Let's Play is Officially over. See you guys round the boards.

I had that feeling in one of my games. I thought it was a pretty horrendous thing to spring on Ryder, especially one who really didn't ever want to go back to Habitat 7.

I dunno. It was like the writers realized they hadn't made Ryder a monarch in thanks, wanted to rectify it, but in a sadly believable political "name a road after you" way. It's a terrible planet name, even I don't want to live on Planet Ryder.

They're having to do it the good ol' fashioned way, so it'll probably be viable about the same time Ryder respectfully pulls the plug on Mom Ryder's cryo pod.

I believe BioWare that the plan was never to make quarian dlc. The novel was tentatively titled "Lost Ark" over a year ago. It's kind of obvious. That APEX task can be completed at the same time you fight that Architect. I'll bet you never scanned one, right? Scan it, and you might even unlock an additional Trophy/Achievement.
