Fix Shepard's H2H Combat for God's sake. I don't like the way Shepard moves and punch with a wide swing. I mean, Shepard is Special Forces and he/she should have mastery of H2H Combat like Krav Maga, Systema, Silat, and Hapkido. While I agree, CQC isn't a main concern in the ME universe. They are pretty much like the T'au when it comes to close combat. But they should consider to introduce CQC, because it makes sense that Special Forces have mastered H2H Combat, just as much as they mastered weaponry and tactics. Navy SEALs studied various martial arts, Spetznaz use Systema, Israeli Commandos use Krav Maga, and so on.

I don't think I ever answered this question. My "fix" will come as no surprise to absolutely anyone. My avatar might even be a giveaway. BroShep has to be able to date Kaidan from the start. That's it. I'm going to hate the "updates" to ME1 with combat. I really liked it and the bigger choices in modifying weapons and armor.

They were never going to flat out just tell you Shepard was indoctrinated, or that the indoctrination theory was true. The Reapers never did this with Saren, and they never did it with the Illusive Man, Amanda Kenson or any other indoctrinated agent of theirs.
But hey, that's what it might take for some people to believe. Not a subtle hint, but a big giant object that comes over and smacks people in the face it's so obvious. They didn't close those threads down because they opposed IT. They closed those threads down because the IT threads became more of a general discussion thread than discussing the topic they were supposed to be about. So when a thread becomes derailed, it's get deleted or locked. Standard forum operating procedure.
But hey, it's so much easier just to say "Occam's Razor" than do anything critical thinking about the subject.
I don't think it much matters if you believe IT or not. The game ended and the player is free to see whatever comes next, or any revelations, on their own. Sort of like one fanfic I read where Synthesis happened and Shepard was alive or back or something. Even if there were a direct sequel to ME3, and Shepard was alive, it would make no difference. Assume the Reapers died and Shep is therefore free of any indoctrination. Hmm...wonder if anyone has ever written an IT fanfic set post-war.

It was planned as a trilogy and nothing more. I don't know why people don't understand this.
Although Andromeda is a title in the Mass Effect franchise, it is not a sequel to ME3.

Was it that obvious haha? Yea, I am really taken back by what I read about Naughty Dog as of late and I hope BW will be better than that in the future.

I don't know if I'd call an unfriendly environment where, the only thing protecting you from dying by boiling in your own blood, is a rather fragile suit of armor with bendy, stretchy parts and a protective helmet with a seethrough, plastic/acrylic surface, a safe space. Maybe just me.

Personally, I think they should sort of get closer to ME1's format, but just without the cookie-cutter bunkers and broad expanses of nothingness between the landing zone and points of interest. Like, there's no reason at all to drop us off miles away from our actual objective, but the fact that we're in a space ship allows us to be rewarded for exploring that way. Derelict ships and anomalies littered throughout each star system provides a lot of opportunities to have the game feel like it's open world, without the broad stretches of meandering looking for something to do.

It's just one of those things BioWare just never really paid much attention to, or rather they prioritized the squad banter that would probably get interrupted a lot if they started us straight away at the entrance. I guess they could've assembled it differently, like the shuttle touches down on an actual landing pad of the facility and perhaps we see a Cerberus shuttle parked nearby.

bsn.boards.net/thread/14800/me-andromeda-cut-content It seems looking at the cut content, we were supposed to get landing zones and point of interests and small "N7" missions etc.
