Well played Andromeda....well played.

Give em credit, I'm near the end of the Ryder Family Secrets quest, and I just dropped a F bomb out loud in shock. Haven't been that mind-blown by a ME game since probably learning the fate of the Protheans in ME2.

this nothing compare to what happens in Jade Empire, you should play that game.

I did, way back in the day. I'm a Bioware whore through and through. I'm guessing in JE you're referring to the nature of your teacher? Cause that I didn't see coming. Good game, sadly very crappy combat system.

I wouldn't say I was shocked by Jade Empire's plot twist as much as I was pissed off. At least the plot twist in MEA was a positive one.

Funny you say that. I thought Jade Empire had the best combat system of any BioWare game for a very long time. I played it maybe a year ago and it still holds up well. It's certainly superior to KOTOR, all three of the Dragon Age games, and at least Mass Effect 1.

I say that only in the sense that being a big Martial Arts fan, I was hoping for a lot more variance in the fighting moves, etc, you know? The concept was good, the animations just didn't live up to the dream of being a fantasy Bruce Lee/Jet Li/Jackie Chan, etc.

KotoR twist is great, but the game does lose some appeal going through it a second time. So long since i played Jade Empire that i can hardly remember the twist, perfect time to replay it.

Also on the OP -

I liked that twist aswell, was probably my favourite moment in the game. Ran to the Cryo Bay as fast as i could.

Yeah. I remember literally dropping my controller when I first saw the KOTOR plot twist.

I also was caught by surprise with the Collectors are Protheans plot twist in ME2.

It was a well done quest with some mystery that we all thought we knew the answer of (Reapers) and good enough pacing throughout the game. In fact while I was doing the infamous "Contagion" quest, I kept thinking "A certain Ryder could have taken some tips from this". What do you know, maybe he did. Or it was the other way around.

I completely figured out who the final bad guy will turn out to be while playing the prologue of Jade Empire <insert self="" pat="" on="" the="" back="">. The clues were there and I was actually looking for them. I didn't want Bioware to pull a fast one on me like they did with KOTOR.
In fact I was so on to them in Kotor too, but got fooled by a silly mistake Bioware missed to correct. Canderous kept talking about Revan as a "he" and I was playing with a female protagonist. So I knew Bastila is lying hard, I knew Revan will turn out alive, but couldn't figure out why the Jedi Council also acted weird and how it all connects. Then after the reveal I was all "Canderous, et tu Brute?".</insert>

It was a good revelation for sure but it didn't feel like a twist to me, just more like an aknowledgement for skeptics like me who kept thinking it made no sense (and still doesn't) to go to another galaxy "to explore" in 2185 and it reflects in how every NPC you meet that you can ask "Why Andromeda?" they have nothing smart to say and ends up being stuff like "I used to do labor work but when I was fired I had nowhere to go... so, Andromeda you know?" which makes no sense.

For me the end of Ryder Family Secrets was kind of lackluster. I mean you could see it coming miles away.

Alec having found someway to save Ellen I mean. It didn't feel like a surprise to me - definitely not a positive one. But maybe that's because I felt very disconnected from my Ryder's family because the parents were black while their children were white (stupid CC). So I would rather it'd be just Ryder and her brother. Overall Ryder family story was something I really looked forward to in MEA but in the end I only liked Alec (despite his wrong appearance) and he dies very soon. "Scott" has no personality and I don't like his voice.

At the same time I was really curious about
