IF there's only one important thing on the planet and the rest is worthless wasteland, why not land next to the important thing? Like why didn't Vega land the shuttle next to the door on Mars instead of where he did? Wouldn't that have landed them in the middle of the Cerberus troops? Interesting fight. Landing a little outside of the target zone isn't a bad thing. Ideally, I would have liked Shepard to have a choice of how close to land.

If so, wouldn't that have been said before they acted surprised when first encountering Cerberus troopers?

Nah, the game would have been muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better if Shep after narrowly escaping earth would land on Mars like it was vacation resort.  |

Uhh, at least Casey Hudson wasn't the project director for Andromeda. So those are at least 2 strikes for Walters haha. We'll see if it becomes 3 after the legendary edition is out I gather Walters only came on to Andromeda late after it had been floundering in executive indecision for awhile. Believe it or not, he probably saved that game by at least forcing them to finally make big story decisions. He salvaged the thing by applying DAI formula in space. I don't know about big story decisions - I doubt story stuff was the problem in the first place, it was rather that their initial game idea with procgen exploration didn't pan out.

You don't go from technical problems and solve those by finding a proper story arc to narrate.

He salvaged the thing by applying DAI formula in space. I don't know about big story decisions - I doubt story stuff was the problem in the first place, it was rather that their initial game idea with procgen exploration didn't pan out. I think the whole DAI thing was alerady the idea given th ewhole story was abou exploration anyway all he did was try to convert it into a coherent story without the use of th procedural generation stuff given that's what was screwing development up I don't believe it was any of that when he came on board.
Before he joined, which was in 2014, the project direction was that of an evacuation basically, so everybody fled the Reapers, knowingly, with an arc, and yes, there was exploration but it was the whole "procedural planets" thing the former leadership wanted. Mac came along, and wanted to flesh out a story that felt more like its own chapter than something closely stemming from the trilogy, and with Chris Schlerf he came up with the Ryders, the Nexus stuff and all that main story and loyalty mission stuff.
There's some tiny evidence pointing to them not actually committing to a "DA:I" open world design until that infamous 18 month deathmarch the game faced at the end. In an interview, good old Manveer Heir said that they shifted after a while and was like "we're doing open world now" when nobody knew how to do that. I know that the DA:I "Finaling Team" worked heavily on places like Elaaden. And a few other things always made me consider that an earlier version of MEA, possibly the version they made between 2013-2015 was a more linear game that had the main story, loyalty quests and pretty barren proc-gen planets. The open world stuff feels like it was baked pretty seperately from all the actual missions in the game, but that's just a feeling.

Well it always felt like part of the game to me a lot like DAI's did and in fact felt better than DAI's but that's just me I could see a complete turnaround on things like for asy on a game like DA2 given it's a smaller size but a game lik MEA whicfh is like twice the size of DA2 I find it hard to believe that he'd be abl et ochange that much in that short a time..

Because my PC is connected to my television, it is a little awkward using a kb/mouse outside of editing and web browsing. I really hope the Legendary Edition has controller support without the use of modding.

Mass Effect: Legendary EditionAbstraction Games: abstraction.games/project/mass-effect-legendary-editionThe biggest sci-fi epic in videogame history makes its debut on current gen platforms in 2020. In this massively updated trilogy players will be able to take control of Commander Shepard and the N7 crew as they fight off the Reaper invasion. This project was interesting in the sense that both parties knew from the start that they wanted to collaborate. We at Abstraction knew we could contribute greatly, and Bioware with EA as the publisher came in with their mind made up, based on our track record. The project hit the ground running in 2020 and has been picking up speed ever since, with its 3rd mutually agreed contract extension taking us well into 2021. Abstraction’s main task was to help with optimizations and improvements, mostly on graphical related issues. We started out by streamlining things like ambient occlusion, depth of field, motion blur, etc and have since been focused on a host of other graphical improvements – with a hefty portion of bug-fixing on the side. Mass Effect is a saga for the ages, and Abstraction has been working tirelessly to bring the Trilogy back in top form.
