In universe the Krogan are still hated for early taking over the known galaxy and would still be looked down upon. Not surprising to see them remembered in a negative light. But the writers weren't info dumping the Krogan vs other races war. They were info dumping the Krogan homeworld destruction. |

Am I missing something? Why would Cora the Asari-wanna-be human have anything to be mad about? I thought the Krogan war happened before they joined the Alliance. |

Sorry. I didn't mean for my comment to come across as angry. I meant it more as a reminder because it got precariously close. The YT video I was watching was literally a Cutscenes only. No data pads, emails, walking around, side missions. In the Cutscenes, that the Kett and Angara were at war was obvious, but amount of years it had been ongoing wasn't mentioned. Certainly no mentions of having Angaran kitty litters at high rates.  I won't open spoilers tags, so if you guys want to talk among yourselves under them, feel free. It's OK. I never thought you were angry. It's just too big a risk for me because I like to put a lot of detail into my posts to support my theories... so, I'll just read until you hit the endgame so I won't accidentally spoil anything more. Because this game is more open-world than others (it has over 200 optional side quests, about 60 of which are identified as tasks... leaving 140 that are more substantial... and not all of those tasks are "fetch" quests), what you're going to wind up discovering about the game and thinking about the various "side" premises within the game is going to be, in no small part, dependent and what you do discover and what you miss. |

Is it just me, or does that seems like an awfully long time for the kett to take in exalting a single species, especially one that has already had a major setback to their civilization due to the Scourge? I mean, the Reapers only need a century, give or take, to ascend an entire galaxy. The kett are just wannabees compared to that!
Not attaining the speed and perfection of the reapers when it comes to genocide makes the kett more "human" and easier to empathize with. It's supposed to be a more uplifting story than the original trilogy after all. It's not like the kett never exalted a species before. I'd think they'd be a bit more efficient at it by now. Also, not empathizing with them at all. |

I think the point is that new players (who didn't play MET) deserve to receive a more balanced history of the krogan, rather than something so one-sided. |

Does anyone else find it weird that Alex Ryder's room is going unused? At the start it makes sense but by end game it'll be glaringly odd.

I lied to Scott about Dad's death.  He's obviously closer to Alec than my character is. Haha creepy male guy hit on human med bay nurse and she joked about him having to be in quarantine for several months to shut him up. I thought this earlier today. Considering the Ryder family history/jobs, I kind think they would be dead if they'd stayed in the Milky Way. I've decided to do everything reasonable on Eos before moving on in the main story line. My job as a PAthfinder is to ensure world viability not planet hop while people struggle. |

Blame the lack of basic biology knowledge of Bioware, but Krogan are basically a plague in their natural state. 1,000 eggs per clutch, thousand year lifespans, basically invulnerable.. No cure. No remorse. |

I don't think you'll consider this a spoiler since it's a gameplay tip: you don't need to do every single little side quest on a world to make it viable. |

Really? I can't even take Adriana into custody until she's cleared of her involvement of trying to destroy SAM? @_@-- I guess it works out that immediately after we get a confession from the Group but still...
The Strike Teams thing doesn' twork without internet? @_@ speaking of... am I supposed to be going into Multiplayer and playing these missions to get them to actually succeed?

No, you can choose a virtual team to do them kind of like war table missions. You can also recruit extra teams, which I didn't realize until I was almost done with my PT.  |

Not sure how I was supposed to get that from three screenshots, but ok. I thought it was quite good, Mordin agreeing with Shep to not do the cure, Shep then walking away from Wreav. Unfortunately I don't have one of shooting Mordin and then Wrex to hand. But yes, not the time and place. |

Oh cool. Actually met Vetra's sister. why is the vidmaker not working with Qar? @_@ Two competing news anchors? I told Keri that, in a way, these were things that could have happened. How can we blame the Initiative Team for missing Arks, the scourge? I'm more upset about how Tann handled the uprising than blaming him for the issues that happened day one. Apparently Keri is a romance option...funny. For "random NPC to romance" I would have picked Sid, Vetra's sister, or Brecka. Or Kesh LOL Let's get some Advisor Romances going. Tann! I like Brecka. His accent specifically. Reminds me of Zevran. Not really understanding AVP... Do a bunch of side quests until you earn putting an outpost on the place? Wow. So, is the fact that Addison is still being super grumpy a reaction to my not making nice on Eos? Because I'm kinda regretting it. |

I haven't actually done a PT yet where I lie about the genophage cure, so I didn't recognize that it was that version of the scene. Points for creativity, but words would have gotten your point across more clearly from the beginning. |

When you go to the console on the Tempest where you send out strike teams, you'll notice some points in the upper right corner of the window. Once you accumulate enough points (I think it was either 40 or 80), you can recruit a second strike team so that you can do two strike team missions simultaneously...kind of like assigning war table missions to both Josephine and Cullen at the same time. You can recruit additional strike teams after that, but I didn't accumulate enough points for a third team. |

Things seem to be started or tidied up on the ship, so time to go tidy things on Eos. |
