automatic transmission on the Nomad would have been nice

Would you rather have the ME1 version back? Because I wouldn't. *Shudder*
No offence, but I have to wonder about people who complain about such silly things.....Is it too much finger exercise or something?

The nomad climbs ludicrously well (with rocket assist to keep your forward momentum) once you've got a few upgrades.  And will get you anywhere you need to be without upgrades if you're prepared to read the map occasionally.

I think they should have given the first level of upgrades to boost and vertical right out of the gate. For eos it's not too much of an issue but by voeld, those first upgrades are essential. Kind of a slow, boring, tedious nightmare if you don't have them. By Kadara, you might want to kill someone without them depending if you are an off road driver like me. God I hated kadara mountains to drive through. Though they make for an attractive looking landscape.

Still, it's an improvement over mako. Playing ME1 after MEA makes me long for the nomad. I did it. It ain't fun.

Just keep in 6-wheel drive then... It goes about the same speed as the old mako did.

A recon ship or hovertank does not have any of those problems. Silly Bioware. Wheels?


Especially evident near the very end of the game, everyone is flying around in a fast nimble aircraft at several hundred mph and your rolling on the ground in slo-mo like in a fucking rickshaw. 

It's the click of a button, seriously man.

I have to click to shoot? Pff. 

How about a fast and the furious 24-shift gearbox?

Mako defied gravity, on top of being a nightmare to drive, and those "mountains" in ME1 were an ugly texture mess.

Also Nomad can climb mountains, just without defying physics and gravity. You know, a bit of a challenge.

It really grinds my gears they went out of their way to call it 4WD and 6WD at all. I comprehend that the switching is feasible, but the immense difference in straight line performance doesn't make any sense that way.

Switching gears, I'd totally go for an actual manual transmission. After all, every good brand needs a "-Racer" spinoff! (lie, but yes, maybe, I don't know. I would probably buy it and then keep cursing CoD fans for ruining gaming economy and whatnot)


P.S.: I hope the awfulness of the included motorist puns was to everyone's satisfaction! I can go worse if need be.

And I thought I was lazy.
