DA fan gives ME:A a second chance (Text Based Let's Play)

There was a lot of shit when the false statements came out that a company supposedly working on DLC made an announcement that Bioware had told them to stop as DLC wouldn't be happening. Keeping it brief to not hijack phoray thread, people took sides and a lot of the grave dancers were quite disgusting and personal with their comments and behaviour. Several long standing members deleted their accounts.

I graded by enjoyment. If I put a Lense of Realism on it, PB should have solo'd her own mission or explicitly asked Ryder's permission to do something so dangerous. In a real world, she would have delayed the departure until after everything was done, in case Ryder died.

Liam should have gotten arrested

Sid should have been fired with community service for a variety of reasons.

On the fence about Jaal's mission. One could say they ended up handling the Roekaar problem, but on the other, who am I to talk people out of a Rebel Group. But at least it wasn't Jaal's fuck up, it was his siblings, and he came from an emotional place when asking.

Drack's was legitimate- he didn't cause it, an NPC did, but if our cared about the Krogan surviving, you did it.

And you couldn't miss Cora's if you investigated the Asari Ark.

Oh, nice, I don't remember getting this quest. I guess I did not kill enough Kett, heh.

Probably connected to Kett facilities or something I have skipped.
Edit: oh, yeah, looked it up. It starts with Know Your Enemy, and I skipped that b/c I hate Voeld, and there was a shield I think or something like that I had no clue what to do about.

Thought you thought this game was A+++ so surprised to hear you intentionally skip something

I guess, it was made to hide loading screens. Same with the doors on Kadara. Can't say that I like it, but I do understand it.


The guy was alone with the Pathfinder team in a limited space (the exit being blocked by the said team). There was no reason not to knock him out and "convince" to give the info without releasing him. Plus, as Saelen said, Aden couldn't prove the data to be correct or useful.

Edit. With this^ option out of question, just sticking to the law (as it was in Andromeda) and upholding justice (sending civilians to slaughter is unjust by most standards) seemed to be the wisest decision.

On "Dissension in the Ranks" - I don't remember having the choice in 2 PTs (went with Cora and Vetra). I guess, I'd second the sentiment "I'm the Pathfinder, I don't need help" and ignored the offer.

On Kadara leadership - Reyes was enjoyable to work with (due to similarity in our approaches); refreshingly forthcoming and helpful. And I thought that director Tann might want Sloanne's head. Though, the booze-stealing mission was rather dumb as well as the whole duel thing (shooting the leader of the Outcasts after she left Kadara Port or when she was waiting in front of the cave would be a better solution). Nonetheless, both mission were successful. Also neither the Initiative nor the Resistance was able to hold Kadara on their own, thus one of the local groups had to be chosen.

I see. It is important to uphold honor in duels.

Ah, there is always an autosave for those occasions. But yeah, the first time I was through it, I took a shot at Reyes for it Loved his letter afterwards. You got that one, right? I love this quest, it's awesome both ways.

And I'm still a bit bitter about Reyes. Not shooting at him should have meant something. And preventing Sloane's murder shouldn't have been seen as taking sides. The fact that Reyes doesn't see it that way mostly makes me think he could only get on with someone into calculated murder- and it's probably true. That's not my Ryder and I only play weird characters like that my 3rd or later PT.

So in a way...by being herself, Reyes rejected her. They aren't meant to be; heros can't date the villain.

Maybe they can.

In DA:O the majority of possible protagonists existed as well, but only the one, chosen as the avatar, survives the prologue (others die painfully). Similar to ME:A Bro/SisRyder. I guess, in DA:I the unused avatars got killed in the Temple of Sacred Ashes. Can't prove this theory, though.

And I was serious about duels. Used to play as a Dragon Remnant (PvP-focused covenant) in Dark Souls II.

Sure, it is ruthless, so that's why I let my renegade Ryder let Reyes' man do the job. And he did it specifically to put his consort in control of Kadara, not for any other reasons. Despite what some folks say, Ryder doesn't have to be a nice guy. As for Sloane, everyone makes their choices, and if she is left in place, eventually, she will either get "acceptable" or does go to war as she threatens. Again, good quest, and all choices have interesting consequences.
