Created this Sara to do a new PT as a Sentinel, got to EOS and started the vault but have been engrossed in AC Odyssey. Feeling the urge to go back and play though before ACOD NG+ drops.

In all my playthroughs, I’ve never sided with Reyes. And I never plan to. There is nothing better on his side to justify supporting him.

^I'm the opposite, I support him nearly every time. To me he is basically Bhelen to Sloane's Harrowmont.
I did try starting a new game, but I can't get past the first and most difficult boss: the character creator.
In DAI I got some mileage out of doing no-crafting and minimum power runs. I already did no crafting in MEA like my second run. Thought about sticking with "cutscene" guns maybe.

I’ve never sided with Reyes. And I never plan to. There is nothing better on his side to justify supporting him. That's too bad, because I think his romance would be right up your alley: no sex, and no implication of sex. Sara is a bit whiny after the reveal, but that's on her VO, imo. Haven't romanced him with Scott yet, but I plan to next time.
Still, if he and Sloane are 'equal' then I don't see why you wouldn't go with Reyes at least once, just for the sake of variety. I felt the game tricked me into going with Sloane in my first PT, so that is one reason I pick Reyes more now.

*Shipping Dunn and Bradley Wow have never heard him say that at all. Wow that'd be a weird pairing, two seemingly very intense people if that's what you are implying. Late response, sorry: If Captain Dunn survives Meridian, ask her and Bradley about their future plans. I have found the shack, yes its bad but is it any worse than beating people to death in public like Sloane's goons do They don't beat them dead - or at least they are not supposed to. There is a terminal in the holding cells, above the dock manager, with behaviour rules set for the outcasts. The way it is worded makes it sounds to me like the outcasts have/are-supposed-to-have some form of code (imposed either by Sloane or her what'sHisName-Turian). What type of build haven’t I already experienced? Which weapons have I not already crafted, used, etc... ? That's my main problem when replaying the OT, Andromeda not yet. It also helps that I let the dice decide what the main powers and weapons to use will be (for not main-char playthroughs). Eg., my current Scott is Explorer (originally Sentinel) and uses Singularity, Recon Visor, and Avenger Strike as powers. Main Weapons are a Ricochet Katana and a burst-fire Raptor (Way worse damage than a Incisor, but faster Rof). A Combination I would never have picked otherwise and that took some time to develop a feeling for how these should work together. The powers especially where a hell to get working together at levels <20. Now everything is spec'ed for buffing/de-buffing and works surprisingly well, somehow. My last Sarah instead was a pretty basic charge-less Vanguard with Annihilation field and Shockwave, sporting a plasma charge shotgun. Going back on-topic: The dice decided to go to H-047c and help Vetra. We had Drack with us again. After departing the Tempest, Kallo warned us on behalf of Gil to be careful to not reach escape-velocity in that low gravity environment. To which Drack responeded: "With me in this thing? Won't happen!" Well, having Drack's weight in the Nomad also meant that I did not manage to jump over several chasms.... (It's totally fair to blame it all on him, right? ) So, after Drack and Vetra were done screaming, we entered the Bunker at the coordinates Sid gave us. And of course it was a trap. Inside we found the missing colonists, or rather ex-exiles that were convinced that Vetra had brought them back into the Initiative. Vetra instead didn't know anything of this. It turned out that helping these people was Sid's work all along. And she was even nearby and got us out of that holding area! She got captured after helping us fight through most of the base, but that wasn't much of a problem at that point either. ( Well, I died once or twice during this mission, but who keeps track? ) Meriweather -or whatever the gang-leader's name was- screwed up, holding Sid hostage with a grenade. And then proceeded to throw the grenade at us, releasing Sid and thereby loosing any protection. Stupid move. Vetra was relieved that Sid was all right - and scolded (I hope that is the right word) her little sister for what Sid did The following exchange between Vetra and Drack was also nice:
After the little fallout between the two and leaving the bunker, Vetra suddenly burst out " She hates me! " Drack: "Did she pull the 'You're not my Mom!'-line?" Vetra:"Not this time... " Drack:" Then you're all good " It is so easy to forget that this grumpy bastard raised Kesh!

Too bad his character is utterly reprehensible to me so I feel no attraction towards him. I never said they were equal. I said there was nothing on his side that made me want to support him over Sloane. Meanwhile there are things that make me want to support Sloane over Reyes.

KrrKs, what are “Recon Visor” and “Avenger Strike”? Were those typos, or have you modded your game? Whenever I boot it up, I’ll probably play a Sentinel like the one I mentioned or a vanilla Adept (Pull/Singularity/Throw). I love Adepts, even if Sentinels do their job better.

She was wrong, and was killed by a sniper. I wish there was an option to have Reyes killed. But alas, you can only either let Sloan be killed or not.

Whenever I boot it up, I’ll probably play a Sentinel like the one I mentioned or a vanilla Adept (Pull/Singularity/Throw). I love Adepts, even if Sentinels do their job better. I’ve been trying to stick with pull, singularity, shockwave on my current adept. Sadly it shoots slower, has a slower recharge, less range and less damage than throw.(even when I hit two targets, about the same damage at 3) Sigh,great game design there BioWare. Still the extra challenge is interesting at least. And yes sentinel just does it better which again is kind of sad. I’ve tried backlash as I kept seeing people love it recently. Even maxed it last 4-5 shots before it collapses. It does better against stream attacks like from the observer beams. But I’d rather just blaze down their shields with an attack and then blow them up with a combo. Been away a few days though. Bandaid on my finger has made movement clumsy so I’ve been playing games that I use the controller with more like final fantasy 12 and 15. Don’t get old folks, you heal really slow.

KrrKs , what are “Recon Visor” and “Avenger Strike”? Were those typos, or have you modded your game? Whenever I boot it up, I’ll probably play a Sentinel like the one I mentioned or a vanilla Adept (Pull/Singularity/Throw). I love Adepts, even if Sentinels do their job better. Modded game; both powers come from the MP part of the game. Avenger Strike is the Me3MP Shadow Strike version Jaal uses. Recon Visor applies a short range enemy highlighting, like one of the Nomad upgrades adds, a bit additional piercing and at rank6 an optional armour-weakening. I haven't played an adept yet (not for any meaningful period of time at least), but hasn't that profile this biotic-combos-set-of-additional-combos effect? That sounds like it would pair extremely well with Singularity or area-Pull or Annihilation field and similar. At least it sounds more interesting than the +combo-damage a sentinel gets. Sadly it [Shockwave] shoots slower, has a slower recharge, less range and less damage than throw.(even when I hit two targets, about the same damage at 3) Sigh,great game design there BioWare. Still the extra challenge is interesting at least. And yes sentinel just does it better which again is kind of sad. I’ve tried backlash as I kept seeing people love it recently. Even maxed it last 4-5 shots before it collapses. It does better against stream attacks like from the observer beams. But I’d rather just blaze down their shields with an attack and then blow them up with a combo. I hope your finger gets better soon.
Shockwave in MEA is kind of disappointing (On the other hand, I felt the same way about ME2s Shockwave...). (If I post too much advertisement/links, also let me know...)
Backlash is imo a really good 'Oh-shit-power', that can more often than not buy you the additional two or three seconds for that one needed power to recharge. It can also refill shields in that time, if spec'ed for that. which is really awesome. Though trying to rely on it for damage gets really boring.
As for Sloane vs. Reyes: We definitely see more good from the collective than from the outcasts. On the other hand, Sloane and Kaetus seem to have at least some sense of honor, which I cannot see in Reyes and much less in the collective. It seems that the Outcasts had good intentions, and then everything went to hell. While all the good the collective does seems to fit way too well into selfish interests (I'm with Dr. Nakamoto on that). In the end, I'd rather have a Sloane I can trust to be difficult instead of who-knows-what Reyes. -Edit: Choosing Sloane also pisses off Tann. Another plus point, imo!
MEA story progress on my end has also been slow. Drove once around H-047c, killed Krex and his miners. And now I want to see if there are differences if doing the remnant-tiller after the exile bases instead of the other way around. Probably not, though.

While I never save Sloane as she somehow manages to look worse than Reyes I do think that should have been a choice. As an aside to this I kind of felt like they pushed Reyes hard. Like they only sort of wanted to give you a choice. Sloane when you meet her treats you like crap, when you help with the kett like crap, when she is asking for backup she again treats you like crap. And yeah she’s pretty much horrible all around. I give even odds for if there is a mea2 they get rid of her anyways. Edit to add many seem to see some honor in her. I don’t see it though yeah I never read the book. My impression is shed turn on you and the initiative colony in a second if it suited her. I get the same impression from Reyes but I get the impression Reyes wants it to work, I think she wants it to fail so she has an excuse to murder everyone.

Sloane's deal is with Ryder, not the Initiative. If Ryder is out of the picture, the deal's off and the colony is at risk. I still don't see why the whole rest of the planet is off limits.

KrrKs, Adept does grant “Biotic Echoes”, a series of additional detonations. Sadly, it’s not particularly powerful. Pure Combo Damage has always seemed clearly superior. (I say “seemed”, since I’ve never confirmed the math.)

The book basically shows she has no faith in others to lead other than herself. She is sort of portrayed as being noble for going into support "the little people" but the bottom line is she couldn't work with Tann and Addison and resorted to violence to resolve that. She lost and was made even more bitter towards not the Initiative but especially the leadership. I could only make myself support her once and I still regret it. I am sure you are right re Reyes there is obviously a draft of a story there for MEA2 given his plot armour but a lot of people think it was a trap making people side with Reyes and not Sloane. I am an optimistic type and I much prefer Reyes "methods" to Sloane's for running the port.

I think that was a massive "Elephant in the room" for the whole game and every planet. Wouldn't it have made sense to dedicate resources to one planet and get it up and running and well defended and producing as soon as possible? Then they could move on to the next planet etc.... The area on EOS that we explored alone was surely big enough for all 100,000 colonists.

And with all the kett buildings already there, they wouldn't even have to construct anything!
Edit to add: Eos is the best planet because it's all ours. We made that colony from scratch, from nothing. We didn't piggy-back on the angara or the krogan, and we had to beat off the kett (who were there just for the remnant, not to colonize) for it too.

I played originally mainly as a soldier, perhaps because I played so much Division before playing MEA it was an easy transition however I cannot play as anything other than a Sentinel now. Incinerate, Energy Drain and Overload.

Weapons-users are always king, from an optimization standpoint, but power combos are so fun.

KrrKs , Adept does grant “Biotic Echoes”, a series of additional detonations. Sadly, it’s not particularly powerful. Pure Combo Damage has always seemed clearly superior. (I say “seemed”, since I’ve never confirmed the math.) My anecdotal experience is it depends on how many targets are in the area of effect, the echoes are not anywhere near full strength but if enough of them go off they murderlate everything and the AoE gets massive. Most the time the sentinel is just doing more damage, and has a better passive with the tech armor.

As an aside to this I kind of felt like they pushed Reyes hard. Like they only sort of wanted to give you a choice. Sloane when you meet her treats you like crap, when you help with the kett like crap, when she is asking for backup she again treats you like crap. And yeah she’s pretty much horrible all around. I give even odds for if there is a mea2 they get rid of her anyways. Edit to add many seem to see some honor in her. I don’t see it though yeah I never read the book. My impression is shed turn on you and the initiative colony in a second if it suited her. I get the same impression from Reyes but I get the impression Reyes wants it to work, I think she wants it to fail so she has an excuse to murder everyone. The book basically shows she has no faith in others to lead other than herself. She is sort of portrayed as being noble for going into support "the little people" but the bottom line is she couldn't work with Tann and Addison and resorted to violence to resolve that. She lost and was made even more bitter towards not the Initiative but especially the leadership. I could only make myself support her once and I still regret it. I am sure you are right re Reyes there is obviously a draft of a story there for MEA2 given his plot armour but a lot of people think it was a trap making people side with Reyes and not Sloane. I am an optimistic type and I much prefer Reyes "methods" to Sloane's for running the port. Yeah the loyalty she shows to the little people who got exiled with her is stunning, pay up bitches or its the airlock for you. Maybe if I read the book it might sell me on that narrative but its a hard sell given how she treats the little people who got exiled with her.

I played originally mainly as a soldier, perhaps because I played so much Division before playing MEA it was an easy transition however I cannot play as anything other than a Sentinel now. Incinerate, Energy Drain and Overload. This pleases me. I recall selling you on the Sentinel and power combos for some time. Weapons-users are always king, from an optimization standpoint, but power combos are so fun. LOL, you did indeed. If I was going to do an insanity run again maybe I'd change back to Soldier but its too much fun being a Sentinel on Normal.

Some are still loyal as she "saved them" but if you let her die the mood at the Port is far more upbeat than if you let her live. It's funny I can't quite remember but doesn't Reyes say something about helping the little people to Ryder at one stage?
