Hi there,
I just started MEA a week ago and what a blast, the story and characters are well made (psychologically), a lot of upgrades and quests to do and relationships to build.
But,
I’ve been experiencing so many problems with the game, critical issues, major and small ones. And of course, I want to know what happened, why are the critical issues not solved yet after a year ? And how did they miss the major ones ?
- The scan doesn’t hit : I have a highlightened red corpse on the floor, I’ve been scanning it for 20 Minutes until I realised that the only part of the body that made the scan trigger was the pinky nail, and this goes for everything, the scan is horrible while it’s one of the most important thing in the game
- USRB ? : The game is PGR 13 with flags of Violence / Sexual content and nudity. Something is already wrong in that sentence. So, where is the nudity and the sexual content ? I’ve been roaming bars in the Nexus, Kadara and other planets, the dancers are MORE dressed than my character (full armor, helmet, dark light so you won’t even have a glimpse of the body shape), and all romances are censored.. Why create the possibility to have a relationship with another character if even kissing is too much for a PGR13 ? Every scene with every character is just a black screen where nothing happens followed by : “ you got a new email “. This killed the game for me
- Map not loading : This one is so annoying, you go full speed with the Nomad on a hill and then the game freeze because the map hasn’t loaded yet, you spend 30 minutes before a door that you’ve been activating again and again and won’t open because the game didn’t load the empty room that was behind it. Amazing
- Quest order : A messy one as well. Why are my quests randomly listed ? I’m on Voeld, I want to check all my quests from Voeld, but they’re all scattered in my journal. If someone from the nexus asks me to go on Voeld talk to someone, it is listed as a Nexus quest, again, why ?
Now don’t get me wrong, I love the game, I love playing it, but I have so many problems that it gets harder and harder so keep up with the story. I won’t talk about the animation or the characters design because it’s already been discussed 100 times and we all know it’s 12 years behind anything that has been done so far. Won’t talk about the floating enemies or disappearing NPCs, nor the randomly running characters while you’re interacting with then or your character moving by himself or even the glitched achievements and Strike missions board that explodes and kill me when I interact with it after I bought Uranium.
So, does anybody know if BioWare is still on it or if it’s a lost cause and I’ll just have to throw away my hopes and have ghost romances with ghost characters ?

So, does anybody know if BioWare is still on it or if it’s a lost cause and I’ll just have to throw away my hopes and have ghost romances with ghost characters ? Bioware officially stopped bug fixes for ME:A after patch 1.10 (July 2017). Patch notes can be found on their website blog.bioware.com/2017/07/31/mass-effect-andromeda-patch-1-10/ which should help you determining whether or not you should still be having a problem with particular bugs on your specific system or if they were patched. (There is also a thread containing patch notes pinned in this section of this board.) It almost sounds like you are not playing with the patches installed. i'm on a Xbox One and have no problem and have completed every quest in the game multiple times. I have also obtained all the achievements and have never encountered an exploding Strike missions board. I also have absolutely no trouble with scanning except for only a couple of corpses in very specific locations.
ESRB ratings are in compliance with that organization's (i.e. the ESRB) standards. Traditionally in Mass Effect there is a romance scene with the PC and whichever NPC they've entered into a complete relationship near the end of the game. Some involve nudity, others don't... depends on who you romance. If you don't like how the game is rated, complain to the ESRB.
Quest order in the log seems like an odd complaint to me given the open world nature of the game. I certainly never had any problem determining what quests were active on the planet I was on since there are also markers that appear on your map. Although imperfect, at least the quests are divided into a few different tabs (which at least lets you identify the more menial ones, which are grouped under Additional Tasks)... unlike FO4; where everything appears only in one long list and quest markers don't show up on the map unless you have that quest selected. As a result, I've gone right by locations for several quests several times in FO4 without even knowing I had a quest in that specific location.

Specifically, the Cora, PeeBee, and Jaal tracks have stuff that definitely required that rating. (PeeBee's may give you the wrong impression because the sexual relationship begins offscreen, and relatively early.) Liam, Vetra, and Suvi's don't. Not sure about the others.
I'm not sure pushing all such content to late in the game -- that is, requiring most of the main plot to be complete -- is a great design decision. But it's how Mass Effect has always worked.

That MEA isn't dead, can I prove it no I can only speculate i will never know the real truth till Bioware/EA speaks up. that MEA is not dead but the real truth is in the hands of Bioware/EA no one really knows till they speak up so..... I'll leave it there have a nice day.

You seen the N7 video, right.
Right now, there's about a 50 percent chance it ain't dead. (From a logic standpoint, anyway)
I'll agree with you and your god damn definitions when there truly is no way for an Andromeda trilogy to happen. But that day may never happen, and it certainly ain't here.

MEA i doubt it, but that message by Casey on the end of the N7video seems to me they are already working on ideas for the next Mass Effect game. Now will that game be MEA2 or something else? That only Bioware knows... Yeah that only Bioware knows and right now they're not obligated to tell us. Especially given they have bigger priorities and games coming out well before then.

To be honest, right now, they're probably FORBIDDEN to say...

Never had much of a problem with anything you've mentioned tbh OP, yes doors can take a extra few seconds to open, i find it mostly happening on Tempest tbh, but no big deal to me, i hardly check the journal as i just look at the map an hightlight whats nearest an work my way that way through quests, as to the rest i've never encountered any of it apart from the odd floating enemy.
Oh i lied, sometimes i need to move about a object to scan it, which can be annoying yeah

Fundamentally, yes.
Passion is a powerful force, and while it can't solve everything, the fact that we got an entire trilogy, series' of novels, comic books, merchandise, and Andromeda is ample evidence the passion is there.
I always find it impressive that Andromeda was created in a year-and-a-half.
18 MONTHS. That is lightning-fast for a game of this scope.
Is it perfect? NO Could it be improved? YES
But it has a beginning, middle, and end. While it is most definitely an ACT 1, it ends at a great spot for an ACT 1.
The series is on ice, not buried; a critical distinction. The only way ME:A can truly fail is for there to never be an ME:A2.
But is there hope for ME:A?
Fundamentally, yes.

The bulk of it was developed in 18 months, not the whole game which still took 5 years. Hell, they didn't even do every thing internally. They had outside help and still struggled. kotaku.com/the-story-behind-mass-effect-andromedas-troubled-five-1795886428

The game itself is ok and there is fun to be had but it will always feel incomplete. Yeah I am still sore about the lack of dlc.
