What Did You Do Today in Andromeda

Logged in, flipped the x axis to disabled, fixed. promise I tried this before complaining in here 😅 possibly it just wouldn't kick in until it's been restarted it something

So yesterday got back to my latest PT of MEA. Not a lot of time and unfortunately most of it was talking, talking to crew on The Tempest, talking to King of the boneheads when he ambushed us on the way to Aya and then lots of talking when we got to Aya and met the Angaran's Scott got to meet Grumpy Evfra, Iam not sure who I am Jaal and I am the boss except I am not Governor Paraan. Then agreed to relic hunt for Avaela and find lost persons for Sokha.

Jaal joined us on The Tempest and there was more talking with everyone and then off to Havarl for some more talking with "Gem in a Mouth of a Fish" woman for whom Scott agreed to go rescue some stasis trapped scientists and Rashel (?) who Scott agreed to do some pest extermination for. Then met a guy putting out a fire and then got to shoot all sort of exotic creatures and some anti alien zealots which is all Scott was really interested in doing!!!!

Found the location of the stasis affected scientists and also found some Hops for The Vortex and got to shoot killer robots as well. Unfroze the scientists and then and went and shot more exotic creatures and zealots. Then headed back and picked up some more quests to fix the vault.

Oh and scanned lots of planets!!!

Encountered the issue I had last PT with the loadout screen not loading new characters and narrowed it down to being a mod. Removed some that were new and it went away so now a process of elimination or I'll just leave those all out but they include one I really like that Mods Suvi and Lexi's science outfits.

Met this guy, didn't really like him



Met a new group of aliens



Got a new crew member



Rescued some scientists



Suvi looking good in her modded black science outfit, wish she was available as a Scott Romance:

I don't play on PC, but I definitely use controllers. It sounds like one or both of the axes need to be inverted. Y-axis inversion would mean up is down and vice versa. X-axis inversion would cause left and right to swap. Whichever is currently screwy, toggling the setting should fix it.

I guess the controller could be bad, but even then I'd expect the settings to correct this. If the stick is totally borked, then I imagine the cursor or reticle would be all over the screen.

EDIT: I see I'm way late on this reply. That's what I get for following the tag and replying without reading ahead.

I guess it's appropriate that I acknowledge totally falling away from my MEA PT yet again. My previous post discussed trying to avoid this. I haven't actually turned on my PS4 since. I've had the time, but I've just been doing other stuff.

The same thing happened the last time I played MEA. It was likewise during Voeld that my enthusiasm waned that time. Maybe I've just hit my limit with this game?

As much as I enjoyed it, MEA never had the insane hold on me that the MET did. The gameplay was the big appeal for me. With the MET, it was the story, and the gameplay simply enhanced the experience. Having long ago reached a point at which I'd tried nearly every worthwhile gameplay build, I think I've squeezed everything I can from MEA. It bums me out a bit, but it's becoming pretty obvious after several aborted PTs.

I do get Element Zero though. There is definitely a pretty big dip in motivation somewhere in the middle of the game for me as well every time I play through it. Too many fetch/random/collection quests and too much planet hopping and back and forth. It's great again, once you get through it and I am very happy I stuck with it a few month ago and saw the ending for a second time (it was my forth attempt over all) but especially if you are a compulsive completionist even on later PTs (like me), it can be hard to keep up momentum.

Finished the game. Save menu 100%, Heleus Progression 99%. Ah well. Maybe I will look through all of them tomorrow. Wish I could sort the jumbled mess in the journal.

Did you guys find the salarian botany-gone-wild shuttle?

I've gone back to every system and scanned again, just to make sure I found everything.

Imagine, now, having completed 16 100%-PTs and about 5 partials. I've just completely exhausted what the game has to offer.

I had two full pages of completed/importable Shepards for ME1. (I think that's 20 per page.) I can't say for sure, but I'm pretty certain that I completed the game around 100 times. I know it was more than 70. That decreases with each sequel, but only because playing those involved replaying an entire trilogy.

It wasn't feasible, I suppose, to hope MEA would be as beloved, addictive or whatever. It's a solid game. It just doesn't appeal to me in the same way.

I accept how you feel, but I also feel that the number of possible playthroughs would increase IF ME:A were a Trilogy of related games rather than a singular game since different, seemingly minor, decisions now could increase in importance or affect other decisions to a greater degree if more of the story existed.  Would it ever have the same appeal as ME1 did for some?  Perhaps not, but I personally don't find ME1 particularly variable.  Given how Shepard's individual backstories were not carried forward and how little difference being renegade or paragon actually made in ME1, I find I can pretty much run the gambit of truly different importable saves in about 10-12 playthroughs.

Its not the scourge scans at the end as I do all of them anyway not just the required 3 but thanks for the suggestion. I always scan all the systems and they say 100% but will go back and scan them all again as it must be the anomaly melbella pointed out and it must occur after a system has already been scanned earlier. 

I think it's in the system where you find the salarian ark, so you have to go back after Hunting the Archon.
