No idea if some 'story' threads would be of interest, so have made 3 to get us started.
The thread titles are deliberately vague as they can be seen on the main forum.

SPOILERS (of course)

This thread is intended for folk who have mostly completed Chapter 2: Nexus
and the discussion may freely address the main aspects of its initial exploration without spoilers.

If there's interesting Side-Quests or Easter Eggs please spoiler tag the details as everyone may not have discovered them.

Definitely deserves a punch to the face.

The first time you step on the Nexus was awesome, it really set the tone that being the pathfinder will be a struggle and how disastrous things are.

SPOILER: Click to show

Also Kesh was great, wasn't sure about her from previews, but damn, I really like her.

I liked how they handled the Genophage thing. It's not magically cured, but it's sligthy less of a problem for clan Kesh

Playing through the initial Nexus area was more bearable than when I watched it on Youtube,but it was still a weird sort of slog. Something about how the voice acting was, and animations, and story position, and music in background, left a dreamy and irritating feeling.

Something about it feels off. Not bad, but off.

I can't describe how first Nexus scene felt off.
*guy fixes something alone in dark room*
*group of unknown people shows up behind his back*
- Hello there!
*Most unimpressed face of the day*
- Oh, Hyperion? That's cool, thought you are dead.
What. The. Duck. Was this scene written by a rachni? Someone give them book on basic human psychology.

Actually that scene had little parts to it that made it okay.

But only okay.

The whole deal, the whole Nexus part, was just on the edge of acceptable. Pretty disappointing.

I'm waiting to see how the place gets used over time though.
