Does anyone know what special items you get for romancing Panam and Kerry? Like how with Judy you get the MaxTac outfit and River you get the “Fuck the Police” shirt?
Edit: Looking it up, it seems they do not get any unique items at all. That's weird how only the options for female V give items.

Guts is such a fun shotgun. Walking around with basically a blunderbuss. The new iconic knives are fun too. Particularly like Blue Fang. Not to mention that if you jump off a high place with Guts, you can basically avoid death with a downward blast. Yeah. I have done that a few times for missions that have you go up high then have to get down. “Hmm, I did the thing I needed to up here on the top floor. I could use the stairs or elevator and maneuver past hostiles…”

Somehow I can never bring myself to spare Royce. Same. Plus overall Meredith seems an alright person (the worst we see is her enhanced interrogating someone who we learn was guilty of what she suspected). Speaking of wonder if she’ll appear in the expansion if alive since there is a heavy Militech presence. Corporate gods willing I guess. If NG+ ever happens and we keep guns I’ll have to force myself at some point to side with Royce just to get Doom Doom when I’ll fight him and Dum Dum later and complete the collection.

Some of this stuff don't make sense. How is Cora a Karen? She's extremely nice, respectful and accepting of everyone. Even Liam. As far as I know, Karens are rude, entitled, obnoxious, and more often than not racist. People also always call her an Asari or Asari fanboy. But once she "meets her heroes," she starts having second thoughts and this part of her character becomes much less prevalent. I never understood why people don't mention that when talking about this character. The rest is what I expected. Gushing over Garrus, Tali, and Liara. Yeah, the only reason they are calling Cora a Karen is because of the Internet trolls saying she has a Karen haircut.

To be fair, these things were NOT close to each other in ME2. It was only in ME3, when it became an Alliance vessel, that they fixed it. If we're considering the Tempest from a civilian perspective - which it would have to be given the lack of weapons - then it makes sense. That is true, the Cerberus Normandy SR2 was a bit of a mess wasn't it? The refit definitely made her more of a proper vessel overall. Though I don't think they kept the cool turian guns that took out a collector ship singlehandedly around the start of the suicide mission in ME2. I assumed that was a Galactic Politics related refit choice as it seems like they were replaced with some anti-fighter weaponry when they take out more of those collector probes in the Final Assault on Earth. Was a nice unspoken nod to the continuity of ME2 to completely prevent another 2 phase boss fight in the cargo bay. Consider that Mr Ryder was supposedly one of the wealthiest people in the known galaxy and a spectre with alliance contacts and the ability to coordinate one of the most daring undertakings in the galaxy before the crucible in ME3, and you could see that the lack of weapons on a normandy-esque stealth vessel like the Tempest does not make sense for such an expedition. Sure they are not there to wage war, but even in the fringes of alliance space, most backwater colonies had some kind of Military emplacements and ships like those shown in paragon lost. Mostly to help prevent raids from pirates and slavers from the Terminus Systems. Those would have been very helpful against the kett/not-locust horde and the mostly human pirates that were already there for some reason. To be fair, they do have that. We see the outposts we set up in Andromeda have cannons around the perimeter, and the Nexus and Arks have Trident fighters in their hangers. As for the Tempest not having any offensive capabilities, one of the main missions for Pathfinders are diplomacy so it makes sense. Same reason why aircraft such as Air Force One have no weapons but only defensive measures.

I’m assuming you’re referring to the female nurse/lab worker who wanted the night off to spend time with her son? That was one moment I saw where I was like “welp, screw David”. Can’t believe the finale had me rooting for Adam Smasher.[/sooiler] And it‘s totally fitting. It was clear that David was getting what he deserved, falling into that trap NC sets for everyone. The only ones that survive are not trying to become legends. Yeah. Speaking of Smasher, from the bits I’ve seen that’s one of many things this show did really well: show what absolute unstoppable forces people like Smasher and MaxTac are. With MaxTac they aren’t even fazed by people who can eliminate dozens of cops, and even suped up David doesn’t even scratch Smasher(though he did at least consider him fun which is a huge compliment). Plus Adam’s entrance is hilarious and awesome at the same time. Dude jumps off the top of Arasaka Tower, kills Rebecca with a teabag landing, and then just obliterates Falco’s arm with a love tap.

Are there any references to it tied to the Nomad or Street Kid lifepath? Doing the quest as a Corpo they had a few like V kind of recognizing David’s name since counterintelligence was interested in him but it never crossed their desk specifically.

In the words of V “I don’t smoke.” Well for starters the main character on multiple occasions kills innocent people. My game and tabletop experiences were never like the bits I saw, at least in regards to protagonists and/or controlled characters, so you’re opinion is wrong on that front. This isn’t something that’s lost on David. There’s even a scene that parallels his own mother and it has a heavy toll on him, despite being just a rando he doesn’t know. I’m assuming you’re referring to the female nurse/lab worker who wanted the night off to spend time with her son? That was one moment I saw where I was like “welp, screw David”.

I don't think this series is for me anymore. They keep pushing the rpg elements and that isn't what I'm looking for in an AC game. If they ever get back to a proper classic style game, or something like what they were trying to do with Unity, maybe I'll take another look. But I'm not interested in a reskinned Valhalla, or anything that's going to play like it. The upcoming game Mirage is going to be like the older ones. Project Hexe isn’t going to be a RPG either (sounds like it’ll be a new thing). They’re doing different types of games for the franchise.

At the risk of turning this into a Cobra Kai thread, part of me was slightly disappointed at how they wrote Mike Barnes. Not the face turn, but yet another character for whom the events of the movies were so pivotal life changers that they still obsess over them. It would have been interesting if Mike had more or less forgotten what for him would've been one summer, but still had later events that forced him to grow up. Like in, "Dude, you're still thinking about that? It was 30 years ago!" And yes, I realize the irony of this attitude about a show whose whole purpose is nostalgia bait lol. It’s ironic how the only one who really moved on from the events of the movies was Terry Silver…until Kreese dragged him back in and opened Pandora’s Box.

At least it's real meat. True and there is a theory that the real meat Biotechnica is creating at the "farms" south of NC is of the same kind and a tiny bit of it find its way into all of All Food products... But my V is dropping the Burritos only Real Fruits and Real Water from now on! The V stands for Vegan.

I disagree Calpernia isn´t a puppet master or long planning "genius" like Terry Silver. She is like Chozen a missguided person with a lot of passion who had made terrible mistakes in the past. By the way i don´t think that after Season 5 Terry can be redempted. No all should be "good" guys at the end. But i liked how they write Mike Barnes in the show. Could be more and his endfight should have been much longer but hey not bad for a supposed bad guy. I was referring more to Silver being the only one to even come even slightly close to the atrocities she committed. Even then honestly that’s an insult to Silver. I do agree that they should not redeem Silver. I mean this is the only guy in the franchise to even get a villain theme.

Another great Cobra Kai season so another reason to push this thread. If you can give Chozen of all people a redemption arc and let him fight against Terry Silver in a badass fight i guess everything is possible. There is an absolutely massive difference between Chozen and Calpernia. She’d be more like if Terry Silver got a redemption arc if we have to make a comparison.

Glad I did some research before committing to this show. Hate all the “protagonists” and have no interest in watching them. At least we got some fun toys in the game because of them. Glad people who like it are enjoying it though, as well as anime in a market not usual to itself doing well views/reviews-wise is always a good thing. The fuck are you smoking? The show is great. It embraces everything the PnP created and meticulously adapts the game. In the words of V “I don’t smoke.” Well for starters the main character on multiple occasions kills innocent people. My game and tabletop experiences were never like the bits I saw, at least in regards to protagonists and/or controlled characters, so you’re opinion is wrong on that front.

Not surprised. That’s still quite a bargain considering where games would be if they followed inflation.

Started a new playthrough after a year since my last, and I am amazed at how much they have improved things. I know a big part is me owning a nextgen console, but I love all the additions and fixes they’ve done.
Really hope they add NG+. Some of their issues I get, but others are easy like keeping level/skills/etc. Speaking of, hope the expansion raises the level cap so we can max out all attributes if NG+ isn’t a thing (if they do hope they raise it so we can get maxed out in those playthroughs).
And really excited to see what the NUSA/Militech route will provide in the expansion.

So with Wong appearing in all these movies and shows with the next generation of Avengers, he’s totally going to get the Phil Coulson treatment isn’t he? In the sense of getting his own team and show? I certainly hope so! I meant more he’ll be killed and “be the glue” that brings this generation together to avenge like Coulson in the Avengers. But I’d much prefer your idea of him getting his own series as the star instead of just supporting.

Phantom Liberty. The expansion that we've all been waiting for. Oh, Johnny. You saying taking that oath is a bad idea just makes me want to do it more if only to piss you off even further. On a serious note, I wonder if this expansion will be mostly it's own enclosed thing or more connected to the main story like say another route to try to save yourself.

Javik only goes to commit suicide if he looks at the echo shard. If he doesn’t he has two future plans. If he and Liara made up, he plans to help her write about the Protheans. If they don’t, he plans t o go to Kadje and rule over the Hanar.This is so hilarious, I never knew about this option! Yeah. He talks about wanting to see a peaceful galaxy and then says “I think the Hanar would welcome me. I could live as a king among them.” And with him being a member of their gods, yeah he would definitely end up ruling Kahje.

Which ship had you use a ladder to get from your quarters to the bathroom? Tempest had your quarters and the bathroom on the same deck right next to each other. If I remember right the tempest capt. quarters had no bathroom you had to go down to the lower deck. It didn't have a bathroom yes, but the captain's quarters were on the lower deck. If you exit Ryder's room, the door to the bathroom if to the right while the kitchen is to the left.
