I didn't feel any character was well written. They were one-dimensional and boring (maybe with the excpetion of Drack). But my major problem wasn't with the characters themselves, it was how they were forced on Ryder.

I disagree completely, but I would like to especially point out that Andromeda has THE worst character Bioware has ever written: Liam He is absolutely disgusting. He is that kind of guy who tries to be funny all the time, but he just isn't. He just has stupid jokes and terrible lines ALL THE TIME. Hated him since the first mission But my hate for him grew even more after his loyalty mission, because I couldn't believe he was so fucking stupid. He didn't like the angaran and the human were not IMMEDIATELY working together, despite the past of the angara with the kett and the fact that they barely know each other and his solution for that is TO GIVE VITAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEXUS (INCLUDING COMMUNICATION CODES) TO A RANDOM CONTACT. And then when this contact gets captured, he forces me to invade the pirate ship without any kind of plan and when the mission, by a miracle, succeeds, he acts like it was all a joke. Seriously, I don't normally kill or send away my companions in any Bioware games, I hated Anders but I kept him around during my final mission in DA2, but Liam... if I had the option to exile him or just shoot him in the face on that moment, I would have. It's not enough for him to be absurdely poorly written, he had to be the dumbest companion on a Bioware game ever. Ugh. As much as I disagree with some of what you've said about Andromeda in the past. I have to agree on Liam. I was honestly dumbfounded as to why he was handpicked for the pathfinder team, I mean the guy was a crummy cop iirc, and the less said about his stunt with the nexus info the better. Still enjoyed the loyalty mission. With Peebee's stunt with the escape pod, yeah that was going overboard, but they could always pick a new pathfinder, I'm not excusing that whole stunt, but I felt that Liam fucked up even moreso than Peebs. I mean, gaining the trust of a totally new species takes time, I guess it makes sense what happened because Liam was impatient and idealistic, but the problem is he was personally HANDPICKED to be of the PATHFINDER team, which is supposed to be the "Tip of the spear" for the initiative. That type of behavior just isn't acceptable.

I liked Peebs a fuckton more than I liked Liara. I really enjoyed her character arc. I have never been particularly interested in the asari characters so I was surprised by how much I like PB barring certain moments. I might even romance her on my next playthrough. I agree about her character arc in comparison to Liara's character arc. I find her difficult to NOT romance tbh.

The fact that you all act nothing happened, that all you can do is one line of dialogue saying you disaprove was quite terrible. It was an irresponsible act that put your life and of a crewmate in jeopardy, it was more than enough reason to kick her out. The option should have at least been there. But then, the Tempest crew that felt serious. It felt just a bunch of friends having a pleasure cruise. Which maybe wouldn't have been that bad if Andromeda was another kind of game and story.

Well yeah, but he should've been more thorough with selection, and that meant excluding Liam from the pathfinder team. Peebee by comparison wasn't handpicked to be part of the pathfinder team. I feel like the more I look at Alec Ryder, the more I start to think that the guy was just reckless. I also disliked how SAM was hardwired to your body, so much so to a point where removing him could kill you. It just felt like a crappy way to incorporate synthesis into the story. I'd REALLY like the option to remove him from your body in a sequel and he'd just remain on the ship.

Fine you can't 'throw her out the airlock' like all the too cool for school kids seems to want to do these days. But you can express a lot more than simple displeasure.

Most game characters are type A super heroes. They Makw mistakes but even then they are glossedb over. Not the crew of the tempest. They are humans who can make mistakes led by a human leader. Yes, they do make mistakes. They're not perfect. All of the characters ever created by Bioware. What makes an all out loser that more fascinating other than being a nuisance in an already limited cast. I'm sorry, I don't see the fascinating part in someone not driving the narrative one way or the other and I certainly don't congratulate the writers on creating one of the most uninteresting characters in gaming history. A negative Mary Sue so to speak.

Also SAM was necessary for Ryder to access the Rene at vaults. He may not know it, but he SAM is helpful.

As I remember, after you crash you can sound really mad and say something "this is way out of line". But nothing after really go back to this. And I don't know if people wanted to throw her out of air lock, but that's certainly not what I'm saying here. Ryder should be able to make her leave the Tempest though.

I'm simply saying that Liam put the ENTIRE INITIATIVE at risk, and why? Was it because he simply didn't have the patience or wisdom to know that gaining trust of another species, especially one deceived and oppressed by the Kett, takes a lot of time. Truth be told though, I honestly wasn't fond of her loyalty mission all that much, just weird contradictory stuff and hand-holding, on top of the stunt. As for the squadmates not being too serious about the whole thing, I think that's a problem with how the writers wrote the overall story. It kinda felt like they didn't know what to do with the overall tone of the story.

I remember his loyaly mission involved some betrayal and fighting Angara but I'm not sure why.

I remember his loyaly mission involved some betrayal and fighting Angara but I'm not sure why. Well, he basically tried to prevent the whole Initiative from starving and also tried to improve relationship of Initiative with angara. His loyalty mission is about derelict kett ship, which was found by angara pirates, who kidnapped people and wanted to attack colonies established by Pathfinder team. Ryder and her/his team stopped it and liberated people, who were held against their will by pirates. After his loyalty mission, you have choice to either support him or hate him, just because he tried to help people, and ultimately succeeded with Ryder ´ s help, of course. During soccer match on Eos, which he organised after his loyalty mission to create functioning, normal event between angara and Initiative, there is a bug that occured to some players and resulted in conversation, that many people blowed out of proportion and used to hate him. I can go into details, but people on BSN seem to hate details.

Was it because he simply didn't have the patience or wisdom to know that gaining trust of another species, especially one deceived and oppressed by the Kett, takes a lot of time. Truth be told though, I honestly wasn't fond of her loyalty mission all that much, just weird contradictory stuff and hand-holding, on top of the stunt. As for the squadmates not being too serious about the whole thing, I think that's a problem with how the writers wrote the overall story. It kinda felt like they didn't know what to do with the overall tone of the story.Oh, they certainly didn't. But remind me, what exatly Liam did? I remember his loyaly mission involved some betrayal and fighting Angara but I'm not sure why. Liam gave some unknown contact vital information regarding the nexus because he was frustrated and impatient with being an "Outsider". I seriously want to punch him in the face for pulling that. Side note: I find it weird that he says soccer, since he's British, considering us Americans are the only ones in the world that really use soccer to describe the sport.

I thought PeeBee's... stunt, as you called and its aftermath one of the lowest points in Andromeda when it comes to giving control to the player. The fact that you all act nothing happened, that all you can do is one line of dialogue saying you disaprove was quite terrible. It was an irresponsible act that put your life and of a crewmate in jeopardy, it was more than enough reason to kick her out. The option should have at least been there. But then, the Tempest crew that felt serious. It felt just a bunch of friends having a pleasure cruise. Which maybe wouldn't have been that bad if Andromeda was another kind of game and story.

Now that is a reason to throw someone out of the airlock.

Side note: I find it weird that he says soccer, since he's British, considering us Americans are the only ones in the world that really use soccer to describe the sport. That annoyed me too. Although most of his dialogue isn't British which is really annoying. And Suvi doesn't use any Scottish colloquiums either.
