The Mass Effect Andromeda Positivity Thread

colfoley addressed this pretty well in his list, but I really appreciated how well all of the content fit with the plot and purpose of the protagonist. We are the Pathfinder, trying to find new worlds and make them habitable. Pretty much anything that strengthens and supports our foothold in Heleus makes sense as a task for the Pathfinder. That being the case, I never felt like I was being asked to do anything totally out of place for a Pathfinder.

I feel that there are essentially two conjoined plots in the game. We have the colonization plot, which involves all the many quests and tasks that drive viability. There is also the "defender" plot, that involves defending the Ai from the direct threat posed by the kett. Building our relationship with the angara straddles and binds these plots. The LMs, and some other content, is used to develop characters and bonds, and to round out the story.

This game was definitely rushed, and has more facepalm, cringey moments than I'd prefer. The core of the writing, though, is really good. I really like how they picked our protagonist's role and built the game around that, or vice-versa. The Pathfinder really fit the story and game content, possibly moreso than any previous BioWare game.
