Geth were the easiest race to add. They should've been added to the base game. Have a stowaway geth unit like Legion, but with more individual geth on its systems. My point is that if someone found a Geth had snuck aboard one of the Arks, their first reaction would be to destroy it rather than befriend it. Shepard's team thought the same about the geth until they met Legion. It's not hard to find a way to add them. |

Geth are software. They don't need a physical Geth body (platform) to hitchhike to Andromeda. A big enough HDD will do  A large enough number of Geth might even be capable of staging a coup on SAM and take his place without anyone even noticing. There are so many creative ways to introduce the Geth in MEA. Heck, you can even go as far as to bring a Reaper virus on the Quarian ark and the stowaway Geth could either fight it or be under it's control. Hmm, quarians caught in the middle of a Reaper-Geth conflict. I could only wish. Bonus points if they crash on some inhabited planet. I can see a quarian explaining it to a local farmer: "See these guys with the blinking lights? Technically we fight them for about a millennia now, even though it's been only 300 years or so. And these monster guys? Well, we never met them before, but rumor has it they've been around for a long time. And now excuse me while I use your body as a shield, I really can't afford punctures in my suit." |

The Collector's yes, but not the Awakened Collector as an ally. I think the idea that the leviathan orbs awoke them from their indoctrination was weird as ME2 says there was nothing left of what they were, they were just drones. I would've preferred that the Collector had been under the control of a Leviathan, so we could play as a Leviathan ^^. But, I guess maybe Shep & co. didn't know as much as they thought about collectors. I agree. It was, from a story perspective, kind of weird, but I think it goes to show that if you use your "suspension of disbelief" regarding scifi you can make almost anything work. Adding the Awakened Collector didn't bother me then and adding the Batarian to MP now doesn't bother me, either. As long as their backstory makes some sense I'm cool with it. |

Expanding stories is something they're really good at it. I will say this, there's only two Batarian's in Andromeda. Now if a whole bunch of them pop up at some point I expect a much better explanation than "witness protection." |

So, yesterday, I was playing the Hwarl Vault with patch 1.09 and I noticed that I could save my game inside the vault (just before hitting the "press button and things start to kill you" console, I could do a manual save.
Now, the Hawarl vault is super samll (just 2 rooms) and I can't remember from my previous playthrough if it was possible to save there before. I also didn't get to play any other mission yet. So here is my question:
Has anyone played a main mission with 1.09 yet and tried to make a manual save? Did they fix this without telling anyone? Or is the Hawarl Vault just the only remnant vault where you are allowed to save anyway?

I'll check to see if there's an option to manually save after getting into the fortress. |

Hmm, introducing the Geth is... problematic at best. I don't think anyone really saw them as allies until, maybe, the events of ME3, which took place in 2186, after the Arks had already launched. Have the Geth build their own ship. They are more advanced than the organic races so if we can build ships that can reach Andromeda they can, plus they don't have to worry about things like food, water, space, air, etc. Once they are here, have the story involve us realizing they are allies. Bioware could even do a fake out where Ryder and Co find evidence of Geth while looking for the Quarian Ark and think they are behind it but then it is shown the Geth are helping the Ark. |

Can someone explain these weapon balance improvements to me? I haven't played the game yet but with all the damage increases I get the impressions that most weapons must have been very weak and ineffective at launch.

He made a video claiming that the game's graphics had been downgraded from the pre-launch trailers...by comparing those to footage taken from the PC version with the lowest graphics settings. So don't trust anything that comes from that pandering hack's channel. |

A large enough number of Geth might even be capable of staging a coup on SAM and take his place without anyone even noticing.
