What Did You Do Today in Andromeda

I know what they are (and are not) and enjoy them. In regard to the last three, I really liked Origins and Unity. Syndicate I liked less. Odyssey is fun if you like AC games, but completely skippable if not. I’m just not feeling like playing anything, at the moment. I can’t get into MEA. By now I should be ready to drop Odyssey for a while, but can’t seem to do so completely. I just finished replaying HZD again, so I want to let that one rest for a while. Nothing else is holding my attention, so I imagine I’ll continue Odyssey.

Voeld and Eos would drive me nuts on the random quests.

Generally, did not have problems on Kadara (did on a couple), eventually figured out how to reliably trigger them on Eladaan.

But Voeld … what a pain in the Nexus.

I'm not sure of the compass directions … but if you head out from the first little outcropping departing from New Tuchunka … (paralleling the outpost) back toward the larger part of the map … then head down the valley … just keep going. There are several outlaw posts and other stuff along the way.

For me, that reliably spawns the random quests … when I finally get to the end, turn back go the other way … they keep spawning … I hold off on the final leg of each one, until I've got all the early segments done … then go finish off the final leg for each of the … three? random quests.

Once I figured that one out, on the subsequent Eladaan runs, never had any issues. Unlike Eos and Voeld. There is probably some scheme for them too, I just never figured it out.

One thing I noticed this time on Voeld and Elaadeen: You have to be literally inside the camps for the side quests to spawn their needed extras, or at least to get that Sam line and be able to interact with the <whatever> there.
Sometimes I killed every trooper and was about to leave, before the notification popped.

Also (I know this affects Voeld, not sure about the others): When such a quest is started but not all of the three or four pieces are found, dying or more specifically reloading a save in that condition might sometimes mess up the quest. Then you have to find the exact same number of random items that are already found(!), before the next found item finally forwards the quest.
Maybe this is even two separate bugs:
Sometimes I got dialog for some of the re-found items, as if the quest was restarting from the beginning, sometimes I just had to find the stuff again, without the possibility to interact with it or get a dialog piece.

I hope that post makes sense, I'm pretty tired atm.

Yeah you can definitely cruise by and see the artefact you have to destroy in the quest "Subjugation". 

So finished what I could on Aya and then headed back to The Nexus to tidy up some stuff there like meeting PeeBee, checking some memories with SAM and kicking off the Spender investigation. Visited The Vortex for no other reason that to see if I go straight there every time I arrive at The Nexus it would play and so far I am 2 for 2. I am wondering if you go to The Nexus and do other stuff but don't visit The Vortex whether the game assumes you went there. So if you visit three or four times and don't go to The Vortex you miss seeing any of the Karaoke and possibly if you don't go there the first visit it maybe never triggers at all. Pure speculation but going to The Vortex each time I have visited The Nexus from the beginning seems to be working at this stage.

Anyway then off to EOS now the radiation has cleared, just always feels weird for me doing Eos after Voeld. Placed Dash's pendant, placed some beacons, found some drones, finished site 2's project, solved the murder, found the sites of the missing researcher and the vault where her body was. Got Grace Lito E-97 Durango sent back to EOS and chased down the shuttle with other site 2 survivors on it. Placed the first survey hammer, scanned some rocks and found an edible plant. Spoke to Bain Massani and took down the generator building and the barracks and today will take down the Kett Base and "Little Duck" will stomp on The Invictor good and proper.

Karaoke









Found a truck I hadn't scanned before



Rapping Kett - sorry don't have video but killed this Kett and he just kept spinning round and round on the ground.

That’s the karaoke segment? I’ve seen that about 50% of the time (PS4Pro). That particular story, told by the Aya citizen, reminds me of the Rakata prison device that Revan opens after being told absolutely not to open it.

I hadn't seen that one before and I hadn't heard the barman and barmaid comment before.

I have no idea what Rakata and Revan are about!!!!! 

Will have a look at it again, I know I looked at it a long time ago and for some reason it just didn't appeal to me. 

Finished off my elaadin quest lines. Gave crazy lady the remnant drive core. Some dude wanted to be a warlord and asked me to kill some dudes so he could take their base. I’m not sure why I agreed but I did. When I went there I decided to take charge for a spin. I threw out a singularity and then charged into a raider when suddenly there was a earth shattering kaboom and I fell through what used to be the ground, sky was everywhere until I left the mission area and teleported to safety.

Played some soccer, finished peebees loyalty quest. Went to a shattered planet and killed some goons and their boss. Jumped a big ravine. Heading towards a tiller tomorrow.
