I completely missed your spoiler stuff...I'll have to keep out a look for it in my next run. It's just the stuff you see in terminals at the very end of the game. Not big things, but things that were put there for a reason and likely hint at future plot points. Others include that Meridian is dangerous and is going to probably be a problem later (and might have a planetwide purge system like the vaults). I must admit that I start out trying to read everything...and then it gets tedious with 5 datapads in every room, lol.

Did Vetra's LM. I read somewhere that in MEA the rule of thumb regarding the interrupts is "don't fucking take them!", but this one worked out fine? I almost didn't take it because of that warning but my twitchy renegade finger couldn't resist. It ended up being pretty badass. I am very glad tho that I spoiled myself to hell and back about Jaal's romance, cause no doubt I would have shot Akksul too, had I gone in blind. Generally when there's a shoot-prompt I promptly shoot lol. Especially when someone's kinda taunting me about it.
Dunno if any of you played Tales from the Borderlands, but I always shot Felix too, just because he said I wouldn't. I can't think of many interrupts that end badly other than the one in Jaal's loyalty mission. I did the Vetra one too and shot the Cardinal (or whatever her name was) and got no consequence for that. Come to think of it, there really needed to be more of those interrupts. They were so damn rare. And I found it odd that most of them were Renegade choices instead of it being a mix of both like in the trilogy. Within the story, at least. In the friendship scenes and romances they were cute choices.

Ditto on the edge thing. I don't know what happened. Alistair was all I ever dreamed of when I was 20, but I am now world-wizened and cynical and I need some conflict. Some pain. Not SOLAS pain though. I would also like to ditto the "No thx." on that, though my love for that stupid Elf is ever-lasting. Hopefully this ramble makes sense, as words are failing me today and possibly this has been discussed or already shot down and I'm just way behind on news but... Boyfriend romanced Cora and while I didn't see a lot of it, he said that it felt more like a start than a full romance arc. Based on that, and all the "this friendship will continue to grow in years to come" type verbiage in the Codex entries and comments along those lines, kinda hoping we'll get to stick with Ryder AND their crew through the next however-many entries. They just did so well with Joker/Garrus/Liara (if she's your thing anyway)/Wrex and everyone as the story went on, I would love to see more of it. I'm not holding my breath, but swapping up one or two crew members and leaving most of the rest to sort of grow together over a longer plot would be awesome. Of course literally almost everyone on the ship is also a LI, so I feel like you'd have to go all or nothing or deal with a LOT of rabid fans and pitchforks. They started with a smaller selection though, so maybe there's room to add without taking any of the LIs (sorry Drack, ) out. Would explain the "too happy" ending and lack of REAL urgency, too. (Both of which I'm down with, I'm here to live out fantasies after all.) This is the initial victory before everything hits the fan, if they were going for a long-form story like that. Like the Death Star before you take on the full might of the Empire. Potential for angst and struggle to follow.

She did what she promised to do so it felt dishonorable, and anyway the knowledge that kett were angara was fresh in my mind, so I was kind of willing to go easy on them at the time. Not so much later when they multiplied like bony rabbits on Voeld. Yeah, BW really didn't implement the "gray morality" very well here imo. You're a paragon no matter what, except when you have the rare brain seizure (maybe SAM's lagging or something...) and commit random acts of violence that oddly no one really cares about. Eh.

In this game we only got hints at how big and dangerous the Kett collective is outside of Heleus, the source of the Scourge, what war the Jaardan were fighting, what the Angara were really built for or can do, and the consequences of Meridian and what exactly it was for (even the Jaardan seemed concerned about it and everything that scientists studying it at the end are learning is really worrisome. Seriously, why are we even settling there)? It feels like the start to an epic saga and it'd be odd to switch gears to someone else considering Ryder still has so much specifically attached to them (the relationship with the Angara, the ability to control Remnant tech, etc).

Oh yeah. I was taking a lot of those interrupts because I was desperate to have some kind of edge. I don't blame BioWare from moving away from being able to have an EVILLLL protagonist but in an RPG you should ALWAYS be able to play a character who does very questionable things "for the greater good" or is harsh in their judgment. There were some examples of that in this game, but not nearly enough. Or should I say not enough that actually made any kind of difference. It felt more like "oh yeah, you can execute this one person I guess. Yay choices!"

Some of the SWTOR guys were on the MEA team and I noticed LM missions were a lot like the SWTOR. No matter what you did, as long as you talked to them and helped them through their mission, it ended well.

I'm kind of not holding my breath over those potential cliffhangers, due to what happened in the DA series. There were so many hints at possible plot twists in the games that went absolutely nowhere. The old god baby (I doubt his existence or lack of it will influence Solas in any way in DA4), Sandal and his creepy prophesies, Flemeth's daughter-body-snatching ways, the Thedas-wide Templar/Mage war resolved in one quest... I suspect they will never really come up again because hey, Solas the new guy wants to destroy the world, lets deal with that now! They really created too many variables that they can no longer deal with with limited resources, so all those plot points kinda fade into obscurity.

They were never "evil" since they were saving the MW one way or the other, but they had a distinct choice in how they wanted to do it. It felt good and meaningful, while in MEA it's just a cosmetic difference here and there, and very inconsistent.

I'm trying to remind myself that I was also the person who was like, "OF COURSE DA2 is going to star our Warden! Why on Earth wouldn't it?!" and "Her? Mythal? What a random theory." so my track record of prediction is... lacking. Still, I feel like they really went out of their way to highlight "this crew loves you and are your people now" towards the end, like with post-game dialogue (Kallo's struck me but it's been two days and I forget why) and the thing with the other Pathfinders as you "sneak off" or whatever. Jobs? Celebrations? Nah, we're with you, Ryder. So whatevs. Wishful thinking until proven otherwise. Where's all the leftover Team Optimism flags from the Solas thread? Edit: Yeah, definitely wouldn't be the first time I read into something that wound up going nowhere. I never cared half as much as the fandom about the Old God Baby but looking back and caring more about the overall world NOW, I would have. Still. I dream.

Ha I was still salty about the one being an asari lol. The Turian one is the best! He is a stumbling mess and the Angara lady is all chill and "I like you too, so stop worrying" haha Did ya'll do the side quest for a Krogan on Elaaden who really likes a female Angara and he asks you to go look for her? I thought that was cute.

Also, I'm enjoying MEA and I'll definitely be playing it a few times, but tbh I'm not sure what I can do to make those playthroughs different from my first one, apart from giving my Ryder different looks. Are there actually any choices that substantially alter the story in any way?
I'm kind of afraid I'll get bored halfway through my second one, the way it happened with DAI. Just not enough variation for such a long game.

I suspect we might get more serious consequences in future games. This was just to test the waters after the ME3 ending fiasco. I mean look how long it took SWTOR to pull a Virmire moment. God that hurt! I don't think I've played that chapter yet, I love them both..but shit Torian? I just can't... OMG There is new Torian content?! I haven't played SWTOR in quite a while.. did see my bh reunited with her love, but that was as far as I got. Holy hell I may have to resub soon.

I wanted to get everything to 100% viability and save all the Pathfinders for the best ending, so I skipped a bunch of quests. He is a bit of a miss I mean I had to go all the way to the back of New Tuchanka to find him lol. But he is sweet and he's worried about this female Angara. I remember Sara saying "You don't seem like an ordinary Krogan" then he replies "Yes. My Father always said I was a salarian in a Krogan's body"

I love how the MW races are finding romances and love with the Angara!

Did Vetra's LM. I read somewhere that in MEA the rule of thumb regarding the interrupts is "don't fucking take them!", but this one worked out fine? I almost didn't take it because of that warning but my twitchy renegade finger couldn't resist. It ended up being pretty badass. I am very glad tho that I spoiled myself to hell and back about Jaal's romance, cause no doubt I would have shot Akksul too, had I gone in blind. Generally when there's a shoot-prompt I promptly shoot lol. Especially when someone's kinda taunting me about it.
Dunno if any of you played Tales from the Borderlands, but I always shot Felix too, just because he said I wouldn't. The only time I didn't shoot Felix was so I could get Claptrap lol

It definitely feels like the calm before the storm and that the hardest and most dangerous is just ahead. The fact that we're only in one cluster in this game solidifies that feeling. In this game we only got hints at how big and dangerous the Kett collective is outside of Heleus, the source of the Scourge, what war the Jaardan were fighting, what the Angara were really built for or can do, and the consequences of Meridian and what exactly it was for (even the Jaardan seemed concerned about it and everything that scientists studying it at the end are learning is really worrisome. Seriously, why are we even settling there)? It feels like the start to an epic saga and it'd be odd to switch gears to someone else considering Ryder still has so much specifically attached to them (the relationship with the Angara, the ability to control Remnant tech, etc). I'm kind of not holding my breath over those potential cliffhangers, due to what happened in the DA series. There were so many hints at possible plot twists in the games that went absolutely nowhere. The old god baby (I doubt his existence or lack of it will influence Solas in any way in DA4), Sandal and his creepy prophesies, Flemeth's daughter-body-snatching ways, the Thedas-wide Templar/Mage war resolved in one quest... I suspect they will never really come up again because hey, Solas the new guy wants to destroy the world, lets deal with that now! They really created too many variables that they can no longer deal with with limited resources, so all those plot points kinda fade into obscurity. Weekes said they throw out a lot of "hooks" (I think that's the word he used) and see how people react. They use those reactions to determine what their focus will be going forward. I think it's gotten a little more refined since DAO - since that was really all over the place - but you still see it even in DAI: Like how Hawke mysteriously goes to talk to the Wardens, and then just shows back up in Kirkwall post-Trespasser. That was clearly a setup for something. I think everything they've brought up that is Ryder-specific can be tied up in DLC. NPCs on the Meridian even say that Pathfinders are supposed to become "obsolete" one day and that others will quickly be able to figure out how to use RemTech. Plus - while the crew wants to stick around now - most express a desire to eventually "settle". I think the character arcs for a lot of them would lead them off the Tempest, and we'd see something more like what happened with the original trilogy, where maybe some NPCs and one or two companions stick around but the rest only have auxiliary roles.

Adorable! I love how the MW races are finding romances and love with the Angara! It's certainly nice to see races other than the asari forming interspecies relationships. Yeah now we've seen a male Turian with a female Angara, a male Angara with an Asari, a male Krogan and a female Angara and our own human pathfinder with Jaal.

It's just the stuff you see in terminals at the very end of the game. Not big things, but things that were put there for a reason and likely hint at future plot points. Others include that Meridian is dangerous and is going to probably be a problem later (and might have a planetwide purge system like the vaults). I must admit that I start out trying to read everything...and then it gets tedious with 5 datapads in every room, lol. I do recommend reading your email .. all of them, as tedious as it may seem, after the last critical mission. Seriously, the easter eggs in there are well worth going through all of them.
