Anyone else not like how there's an Outlaw faction?

This is true as one has to look no further than the earth itself and in how humans have been killing each other for centuries. Story wise, it seems a bit far=fetched that Sloane and few others was able to get some ships, find a planet and set up these super structures by themselves and run the kett off the planet....i accept it for the sake of story telling, but mirco-analyzing it, it's a bit un-realistic.....yeah i know sci-fi space drama and all...i'm just sayin'....

Werent those superstructures already in place?

I was happy fighting the Outlaws, my belief was that there were far too many of them considering how few people on the Nexus were able to be awake at one time. We needed more new alien races to fight, many of whom could've formed the bulk of outlaw forces to make them more believable.

I mainly saw it as reinforcing how bad Jien Garson was at her job. Holy crap was this trip poorly planned.She didn't pick good people she picked people fleeing trouble. The kind of people who were outlaws and likely to revert back to it.

But given how few people they were willing to defrost due to resources the plot seemed sketchy at best. You found Padromos and they defrost like 20 people, but hey sure thousands of outlaws.

In general, I didn't feel the game gave me enough reason to kill most of the factions. In the OT, Bioware knew that gamers feel comfortable gunning down Nazis, zombies, robots and bugs, so we got Cerberus, Reapers, Geth and Collectors/Rachni, most of whom were irredeemable murderers whose motives we didn't think about very much.

In Andromeda, I think the writers wanted things to be more nuanced, so instead of having Geth who try to kill you on sight in order to advance the goals of the big bad Reapers, we get Remnant, who are just trying to tidy up the place while the master is away. I felt as though I was murdering Keepers who were just doing their jobs. I also didn't like killing outlaws on principle (20k humans is not a very big founder population if we're trying to colonize a place) and liked it even less after Lexi figured out cryo was responsible for their behavior. Now killing them felt like I was murdering mentally ill people whose issues were the initiative's fault in the first place. I'm ok with that plot twist if I have the option of doing something other than killing them (like using the gas grenades on Feros to avoid killing the colonists), but not if the only option I have is to fight. On Kadara, the game seemed like it was encouraging me to kill outlaws for no reason.

SAM: These individuals are not allied with either the Collective or the Outcasts, Pathfinder.
Me: Is this supposed to make me want to shoot them? Maybe I should make friends with them, because the Outcasts and Collective are all douchebags. Maybe these are more innocents swept up in the mutiny who regret their decision... Nope, they're mindlessly shooting at me. Ok, murder it is.

SAM: These individuals have extensive criminal records, Pathfinder.
Me: You're actually goading me into killing them aren't you? Maybe the starchild was right about AIs!

The first playthrough I shot them because that was what the game mechanics made me do, and I must have killed half an Ark's worth of colonists with all the respawns. The second playthrough I just drove by without stopping, because fighting felt stupid and immoral. I left the random Remnant sites alone as well.

I would have liked it if Ryder had the option of temporarily disabling or reprogramming the Remnant once she had a few vaults under her belt. What good is deciphering Remnant tech if you can't use it to communicate with them? Or it would have made an interesting dilemma if Lexi mass produced a cure for cryo-psychosis that had to be individually administered and Ryder had to make the choice to kill individual outlaws, force a cure on them, persuade them to take it, or arrest them and let the Nexus deal with them. It would make things more urgent if those people Ryder cured started to be victimized by the remaining psychos, so Ryder has find a way to protect them or force the Nexus to take them back before they are murdered.

Ryder: Yay, I did a good thing curing those guys! Oh, shit, now they're being killed off! I have to cure everyone ASAP or evacuate the sane ones. What do you mean Tann refuses to let them back on the Nexus?!

Yeah I remember games like the last of us, the game is amazing but one of the outlaws gang is so numerous there is no way they could feed all of them by just ambushing people on the road in that post apocalyptic world.

It mostly falls into the gameplay and story segregation, as you need numerous ennemies for GP reasons : tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GameplayAndStorySegregation
