The Kett Carfalon is useful on Vanguard because it siphons health with its attacks. So with each melee attack on Vanguard you'll be regaining health and shields. But the attack is a bit clumsy like the Asari Sword.
For regular melee I prefer the omni-blade...it's quick and straight-forward with no weird movements/animations.

Loading areas and going from singleplayer to multiplayer takes a while, but I've never had issues with menus in-game. If you are, it's possible it's a hardware issue or drivers that need updating.

I didn't vote because I've never used it in the sp campaign. You might get more input from the multiplayer forums since it's included in some kits. In singleplayer, it doesn't seem too useful tbh. Tactical Cloak is much more useful as a defensive/support skill; and Turbocharge is a better offensive skill.

I think you guys are only considering the basic mooks. Don't forget the Kett also have Anointed, Exalted, Destined, annoying invisible dog-lizards, and giant rock monsters.

Yeah...seems impossible to have a decent conversation about the game without a troll chiming in with some nonsense to get attention. I'm actually surprised no one has posted some edgy meme/gif yet.

MEA is probably the only 2017 release I'll play this year so... that's an easy one. I'm tempted by HZD and BotW but I'm not buying a console for one frickin game. I'm pretty much in the same boat in terms of HZD and BotW. I'm a PC gamer and don't even own a console. Every once-in-a-while I consider getting one for some huge new release, but then I know it will only sit and collect dust once I'm bored with that game. In terms of 2017 games, I did try Nier Automata, and honestly...I really don't get all the hype behind this game. It's pretty much the opposite of what happened with ME:A: -with ME:A, the internet decided it would hate and troll it and everyone jumped on the bandwagon looking for flaws in every little detail; -with Nier Automata, the internet decided it was some kind of existential awesomeness in gaming and everyone jumped on the bandwagon ignoring all of its flaws. People, and their desire to belong and be a part of the "cool kids group" is weird...

That's weird because mine must not have updated then. I'll have to log out and shut down to see if it'll update. I'm still at 1.06. Might have to be done manually. On Origin, I had to right click and choose "Update Game". Not sure how to force it on XBox though. I don't own one.

The biggest issue isn't the mission itself (or any of the long missions for that matter), but the strange decision to not allow manual saving during missions. I seriously don't know who thought this would be a good and positive addition to the Mass Effect series, but it needs to be reverted asap.
Also, if you're having a tough time on a mission, try throwing Tactical Cloak on your ability bar. The ability to turn invisible to revive teammates or reposition when you get flanked is very useful.

By no means is this another ME:A bashing thread. Just a short video that might give a little insight as to why the game had the bugs it did at launch; and why some bugs are taking longer to fix.

On my two playthroughs I couldn't get to 100% because of bugs. On my third playthrough now, and Emergency S.O.S. and Earn Your Badge are ALREADY bugged so I know this one won't reach 100% either unless things are patched.
At the moment, ME:A is a completionist's nightmare.

Back on bsn after a looooong time away. I'm getting MEA at the end of May. Just curious if anyone knew when they'd be rolling out the last of the patches. (Dug around here and news releases. Didn't find anything through patch 1.06 relating to additional romance options, which I understand are supposed to be en route.) Looking forward to finally playing this. :-) I've thoroughly enjoyed my playthoughs (on my third one now), but as someone else suggested, if you've waited this long, you may as well wait for the first DLC release. Because while I have enjoyed my time playing the game, I definitely can't say it is without flaws and bugs that may frustrate you at times. On my current playthrough, there are two quests that have bugged out on me (Earn Your Badge; and Emergency S.O.S.). I was able to complete both of these quests on my first two playthroughs. But now they're suddenly not completing. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the bugs...they just...happen. I'm hoping that by the time the first DLC is released, everything will be working as it should. I'd estimate that about 96% of the game is working fine, but if you're a completionist...wait for the bugs to be addressed before diving in.

I've been defending ME:A from the start and will most likely continue to because I don't feel it deserves ALL the bashing it gets. But I do have to agree with you that the bugged quests really hurt the experience. -Roekaar Manifestos: Wasn't aware this one was bugged. Never had an issue with it. -Earn Your Badge: Still bugged. I was able to do all the objectives, but when I speak to the quest giver on the Nexus, the mission won't complete. -Cora's loyalty: Will bug if you snipe the Kett from a distance. Sniping them seems to prevent the second dropship from triggering, which then prevents the player from interacting with the console. -Task: Watchers: Will bug out if you destroy the main Kett base on Eos before completing "Watchers". -Emergency S.O.S.: Crashes the game if you get close to the initial objective ( Bioware knows about this one and says it should be fixed in the next patch). So yeah...while I don't feel the game deserves all the hate that gets thrown at it, it does deserve some of it. Bioware really needs to address the bugged and uncompletable quests.

I liked ME2 when it was released, but I recently went back and tried to play it but couldn't even get off the Cerberus lab because the game just felt so awkward and sluggish. I'm used to ME:A's smoother movement and combat now.
And as far as Shepard having a better personality: to each his/her own. I liked Shepard's personality; but I also like Ryder's. One isn't better that the other imo. They're just different.

I'm happy with ME:A for the most part. Bioware Montreal is a young dev team and Andromeda was a big project for them on a new engine. If the Andromeda series continues, I think it will only improve.

I'm genuinely confused. What exactly is the OP asking for? We can already customize our character and their sibling. I don't understand what's being requested in this thread.
Not trying to be combative or confrontational...I seriously don't know what the OP is asking for. Can someone explain please?

Shepard is dead and the Mass Effect universe is 600+ years past his/her death. I'm good with Ryder. I'd like to be a part of him/her growing and maturing into a really strong leader.
I liked Shepard...but it's time to move on.

I'm still trying to figure out what human nature has to do with any of this, since there don't seem to be any involved in these events. Humans, that is. There were humans with the exiles. Additionally...I did consider adding a bunch of other "natures" (Turian nature, Angaran nature, etc) in the poll option, but there wasn't enough room. Plus, I was confident that everyone would know what I meant by "Human nature". edit: Also, "Human nature" is not the same as survival. Humans have greed, ambition, compassion, along with other complicated traits. That goes way past the survival instincts of basic animals.
