What Did You Do Today in Andromeda

I re-watched all of these videos recently, and I assumed these were an earlier concept of the beam emitter.

Did you watch all of the "orientation videos" and get the Andromeda Elite Helmet? I like that helmet a lot. I always use it on new characters. If I could craft upgrades, I'd probably use it even longer.

The helmet was a reward for following all the marketing vids, so you must've completed them.

Transmog is always welcome. The armors in MEA look amazing, though, so I'm never really displeased with my look.

Steve Ryder:
1. Went back to Aya and did a bunch of smaller tasks: learned about laws, dealt with an issue related to the Angaran "Vesaal" (told the ambassador to work with the Aya governor about a solution), forwarded messages to the Nexus, spoke to some Angarans about living on the Nexus (did not convince any of them).

2. Went to Eos. Rescued some workers from messing with the Remnant. Scanned some emergency muster sites, then found survivors in a shuttle in space.

3. Went back to the Nexus to wake some people from cryo.

4. Went back to Eos. Started some of the RNG and scan-a-thon quests. Recovered some Remtech for Peebee. Rescued Danny from Kett. Placed the first seismic hammer. Rescued Danny from the Remnant. Placed a pendant. Rescued Danny from bugs. Found Kett orbital caches.

5. Went to Havarl and picked up more Remtech for Peebee.

6. Went to Kadara to pick up another Remtech piece for Peebee, but it was already gone. Started some of the RNG quests. Went to go buy the Remtech piece back, but Kalinda somehow got on board the Tempest and stole Peebee's bot, leaving the Remtech piece in exchange. Reached level 31.

7. Crafted new weapons and armor.

8. Went to H-047c. Killed a bunch of mercs and Remnant, and started a Remnant tiller for mining Helium-3.

9. Went with Vetra to rescue some missing settlers, but got caught in a trap. With Sid's help, killed the mercs and rescued the settlers.

10. Reported the stolen satellites to the Angaran on Aya. Lied and said it was Roekkar that did it.

Very little today. Steve Ryder went with Peebee to recover some special Remtech. Kalinda tried to take it before Peebee could. Killed Kalinda and took the tech. (For some reason, I keep typing "Trevor Ryder" instead of "Steve Ryder" when I start writing these posts and I have no idea why.)

Finally got around to editing and posting some videos. In case anyone is interested:

I love watching others play, RedCaesar97 your approach and style are so different to mine in that rescuing the Moshae mission especially the extraction level at the end.

What difficulty level was it?

God Jaal's VA is terrible.

This was one of my PT's on Insanity doing the extraction level.

Steve Ryder on Kadara:
1. Delivered a message from someone in jail to his supposed Asari girlfriend. The Asari was not amused.
2. Activated a monolith.
3. Recovered Dr. Nakamoto's formula.
4. Collected another edible plant.
5. Found some Cerberus scientists who were expirementing on exiles, then dealt with them by turning their own research on them.
6. Scanned enough weapons caches to locate their intended destination. Took out the outlaw encampment before they could attack Podromos.
7. Rescued a wrongly-banished exile from cannibals.
8. Found enough datapads to locate the guy who set up the Collective and Outcasts. Everyone was dead, Ryder got the spoils.
9. Found the Collective hideout and helped them find a mole.
10. Found the baryte surveyor. He was dead.
11. Activated the other two monoliths.
l2. Activated Kadara's vault.

Steve Ryder on Eladaan:
1. Went the location provided by an exile and killed Axius. Found some shuttle parts.
2. Started scanning Remnant data caches (RNG quest).
3. Recovered more medical supplies.
4. Activated the third monolith.
5. Finished recovering the medical supplies.
6. Collected the final edible plant.
7. Found the scientiest that needed the shuttle part.

I have deviated from the build slightly, partly out of necessity. I switched out Shotgun rank 6 melee synergy for the extra weapon damage, so I could take out the Progenitor on H-407c a little easier. I have also been using the Remnant Cryo Gauntlet for melee instead of the Asari Sword.

I do intend to respec at some point to align with your stated build and use the Asari Sword. Also I do not have enough Reaction Optimizers for all my equipment. It will probably take me about an hour of running back and forth on the Nexus to get enough of them.

I know the Vanguard variant would be nigh unkillable (I had used Charge + Annihilation Field + Nova on my Vanguard which was just bonkers). The Sentinel variant still has to run at enemies while getting shot at.

Steve Ryder:
1. Landed on Eladaan. Took some outlaws, including some guy who used an EMP on the Nomad and then tried to extort Ryder for the solution. Took out some Remnant and got to level 41. Went back to the Tempest to craft new weapons and armor.

2. Boarded the Archon's ship, grabbed the relic, and escaped with the Salarian ark. Chose to save the Pathfinder Raeka and the Salarians instead of the Krogan scouts, which angered Drack.

Steve Ryder:
1. Went back to Eos. Placed the third seismic hammer and defeated the Architect*. Recovered the crashed drones. Investigated missing supplies and traced them to scavengers. Kicked the scavengers off of Eos. Met Bain Massani who gave locations for Kett targets. Took out the Kett targets.

* Took me a number of tries to beat it. Like last night, I played it too aggressively and was caught out in the open -- usually hovering the air -- when it started shooting at me.

2. Went to the Nexus. Had some drinks with the other pathfinders. Replayed another memory and learned of a "Benefactor". Followed it up, and discovered that Jien Garson was murdered. Set the Pathfinder VI.

3. Went to Havarl. Met Jaal's family. Met with retired STG operative Saelen Varn, who suspects a Dr. Aden betrayed the Salarian ark to the Kett. Varn gave Ryder some leads on Dr. Aden.

4. Went to Eladaan. Restarted the vault and opened both crates on the way out*.

* Took A LOT of attempts to get both crates, including a handful of deaths milliseconds away from completing. It took me one attempt on my previous playthrough. Not sure if the vault purge acts differently (bug/glitch) on some playthroughs. Maybe male and female Ryder have different run speeds (male Ryder slower)?

5. Went to Voeld. Scanned Dr. Aden's suspected Kett handler. Scanned Dr. Aden's equipment. Resupplied two of the medical caches. Helped a potential and reluctanct Gloryseeker by taking out a Kett base. Activated a monolith. Started or continued several of the RNG quests.

6. Back to the Nexus. Spoke to Pathfinder Raeka about Varn's investigation into Dr. Aden. Raeka suggesting scanning the apartment of a Dr. Rand Lon. Scanned the apartment and found some trace evidence. Ran into Dr. Lon on the way out, who suggested ignoring Varn.

7. Back to Eladaan. Deactivated some Remnant cores at some Remnant sites before they became unstable. Started or continued some the RNG quests. Reached level 51.

Will research and develop updated armor and weapons tomorrow (or whenever I play next). Will probably respec to incorporate more melee.
