An interesting letter found in a terminal inside the final room of the Kett Base on the Eos. Possible foreshadowing of exhaltation being reversible? I doubt that it can be reversed. The changes are too vast, physically. It would be like returning a reaper Adjutant to its original form. The DNA rewrite is nearly complete. Still, it's potentially important that some memories of pre-Kett life remain. If the conditioning and brain-washing could be overcome, the kett might disintegrate as an empire. Imagine countless "species" of kett recalling their former existences. Their entire belief system could crumble. That might be the way to defeat them without committing genocide. Yeah, after reading that terminal, I feel more inclined to agree with Jaal (when he's talking to Lexi in the med-bay) that there's hope for some kind of reversal, or at the very least that the exhalted Angara aren't lost forever. It's a promising thought, at least.

I think they'd want their family members back, even if they were physically changed. I hope we get a sequel so we can see where this goes.

Thinking back to the Angaran priestess on Voeld and the implications of exhaltation on reincarnation--causing them to lose their family souls forever, I believe the Angara would be more accepting of any Angara-Kett who were "awakened".

Nothing particularly entertaining, or interesting, just something I missed on my first few playthroughs.
During Liam's loyalty mission you come across a door in the ceiling. When you open it the body of a resistance member will fall out. You can tell the resistance leader at Voeld about it afterwards.

Less of a "discovered" and more of an annoyance, but it took me FOREVER to find the Moshae's office in the museum. Even more annoying is not being able to access it for ages. I didn't even find the Governor's office my first two play throughs.

I didn't even find the Governor's office my first two play throughs. Are there not several quests that lead us there? You can follow the questmarkers. Moshae Sjefa's little hidey-hole was definitely tricky, the first time. I circled the museum twice before realizing it made sense for her to be inside, somewhere. She's the foremost mind of the angara; after all. Like I said, though, it took me a few minutes. As to new discoveries, I've been thoroughly enjoying visual and auditory details, of late. The sand particles glitter on Eos, just like real sand; and the red dirt is powdery in appearance and behavior. Eos is incredibly true to life for assorted desert features. You can hear the wind whip and hiss through the surrounding area. It's impressive. On Havarl, I'm always impressed by the wind-driven rain. I like the jungle sounds, but I'm even more drawn in by the wind and rain. Watching the rain shift with the wind is pretty cool. I love the bioluminescent algae (or fungi) that grow in the water in the trench. They are thick in some more protected areas, and thinner in wide open areas. They really bunch around land masses and the like. It's a realistic portrayal of this sort of thing. They do a good job with smoke, steam and assorted particles in this game. I always see the particulate blowing past Ryder's face as s/he gasps outside the Habitat 7 monolith. The plumes of smoke around crackling fires; and misty, splashing waterfalls are impressive in looks and sound. This game is really beautiful, if you look and listen.

Yeah early on but then I forgot about it so never went back. She has some interesting comments when you go back to her regularly which I missed the first two times.

There are more people on Aya that get new dialogue lines when you progress in the main story, sometimes they even comment on sidequests. Except the Moshae Governor Shie and Evfra do, likely even more NPCs in other places, too, but of these I know for sure.

I met Zaeed's son on Eos. While I talked to him some kett bastards came up from behind and killed me during the dialogue. Nice, Bioware.
Ugh, I wanted to talk to him, but the convo activated as soon as I opened the door and I couldn't see him at all since he was offscreen. So, I exited the convo but then I couldn't talk to him anymore.
Post-final battle, you can read emails from various other Bioware characters - I saw ones from Varric, Aveline, Carver, Calpernia, and a few more I can't remember now.

I found ain Ryder's room on the Nexus a bunch of emails, and there were bunches of names from older Bioware games; Mazzy Fentan, Alora, Varic (of course), to name just a few.

If you are already locked in to a romance, Peebee doesn't proposition you during the zero-g talk. I thought that was nice, especially since I was wishing for the option to decline the first offer.

not sure why but almost 160 hours played and i just now noticed Kadaara port is litteraly on the oposite side of the black hole from the Nexus. For some reason i just found that funny as hell the thought of Sloan picking that to settle hoping the big scary black hole will protect them from the nexus.

Here's a minor one, but I find it amusing. According to scans, Liam's sofa on the Tempest has 2% of the 'unknown' in it.

I noticed Vehn Terev tending the gardens on Aya for the first time after breaking him out of Kadara's prison with Reyes' help. I know the Moshae tells Ryder that she had him garden as part of his "reformation", and there he was, being miserable and still resenting the Moshae . He says she only did it for her "image" (likely) and complains about not being paid. Hainly Abrams asks Ryder to get her fiancée out of cryo (who happens to be able to purify water but is on the second wave of being waken up) if you click on her enough. She invites Ryder to their wedding and says she wants Bradley to be the one to perform their wedding ceremony. The dialogue to ask her why she came to Andromeda opens, and Hainly tells Ryder that her old life wasn't for her; she used to be named "Stephan" and chose the name "Hainly" after the initials of all her favorite places. This may have been part of the patch? After finding all the colonists' bodies on Eos, talking to Majordomo Bell-Scott in Prodromos begins the quest "Doesn't Add Up" and Ryder finds some survivors from Site 2 in stasis on a shuttle in space. Darket Tiervian (a turian whose family requested she be brought out of cryo after her brother died in Site 2) reveals that her brother was on that shuttle and survived after all, should Ryder speak to her again. Some new ambient dialogue I heard: a Resistance fighter next to Intelligence Officer Kaas in Voeld's Base having phone sex (???). He says, "ohhh I know what you need" and Kaas tells him to stay focused on his work.

I've not encountered that new Abrams content. There was nothing to indicate to me that she had more to say. I had figured that they were still deciding how to proceed. I sometimes visit her, Bell-Scott and the others while on Eos; but they'd never had much to say by late-game. I wonder if I'll encounter this content this time. I'm heading to Eos soon, for Cora and Gill. We'll see.

An interesting letter found in a terminal inside the final room of the Kett Base on Eos. Possible foreshadowing of exhaltation being reversible? I doubt it's reversible but I wonder if it's a side effect of the angaran's genetic memory/reincarnation thing.

If you speak to the Moshae on the Tempest, she tells you that the kett guard she spoke to has memory of his life as an angaran.
