What Did You Do Today in Andromeda

After finishing a Shepard trilogy playthrough, I started an Andromeda one.

The Idea was to take over most traits of Annie Shepard to Nevil Ryder.
Meaning that he is supposed to be as neutral-evil and murderous as possible, which sadly is not all that much in ME:A.
Annie also did not stop for anything not directly related to her main quest, so Ryder will also neglect most all non priority missions.

The dice decided that his primary powers will be pull and warp. The third one most likely backlash or maybe lance or throw, completing the Adept profile.
Backlash would fit with Annie Shepard's focus on defensive stats, so that is definitely going to see some use.
His primary weapon will be a Tempest/Charger. The dice rolled for ricochet system, but I'm not sure if i really want to use that.

Nevile's Journey already took him down to Habitat7, where he immediately began to shoot the locals. Hey, he did not know they weren't actualy local!
Making his way to the other shuttle as quick as possible, Ryder and Liam did not find the hiding Greer. Instead he later turned up dead in the Kett facility at the Remnant tower.
Ryder senior activated the tower and then died.

Later the Hyperion flew to the Nexus. After a not-so-warm welcome, especially by Addison, Nevile's squad was joined by Vetra and debarked with the Tempest.

TBH other  than Cobra' s and ammo types I don't use consumables either I tend to sell the others on for extra credits

Ryder landed on Eos, switched on the power in the first failed outpost, and the fought some Kett.
He then proceeded to the Remnant towers, where he found Pebee, and fought some Remnant bots. Then some more remnant, some more kett, and finally -after fighting even more Kett, found both Drack and the location of the vault. He is standing in front of the entrance right now.

Well, that happened last week. For the better part of this week, I've been loading saves of my second Ryder. Sarah has returned to Havarl, and that helped with testing out the light switch mod for toggling the stupid flashlight.
After Nevil entered the first Eos building and his lights turned on, I remembered that i wanted to do this for a loooooong time. There is at least one place on Elaaden that switches the lights on, but never off again. And now I can finally enter there, go out again and toggle the stupid lights myself, without having to return to the Tempest to do that!

So now Nevile will explore his first remnant vault. All the while I will probably toggle his lights off and on again, like some stupid, bored child!

Hectic week.

But Nevile did explore the remnant vault on Eos, discovering some cool artifacts along the way. (And playing with his lights like a mad child )
He also established an outpost on the planet. It was going to be a militia outpost, but both Vetra and Liam voted for science, so he went with that instead.
Then the team went off to see another vault, that they found the coordinate for in the on on Eos. That other vault seems to be different, maybe active.
On the way there, they encountered some kett guy with massive ship and superiority complex. Seems he wasn't that superiors, since the Tempest escaped and went exactly where they wanted.
On that planet, Aya, another species awaited them with drawn weapons. But the contact went pretty civil, after all. With a new Squadmate, Ryder now ventured to another of their planets, voeld, to gather their trust.

And while doing those, I discovered like four different nuisance with the light toggle. At first it suddenly toggles when entering the Nomad. Well, circumvented that. That lead to the lights turning on when entering conversations. Fixed that. Next it turnes on when picking up minerals
So I went back to the initial variant, and then turn the Lights off when inside the Nomad. Since I can't figure out why it toggles when entering or how to suppress that.
So most of the week's playtime was actually bugfixing and loading random saves to test out a myriad ways for that.

Fun fact: Andromeda has a hell of a lot of different input 'intent' triggers, and checks available - and most of them probably come from battlefield or somesuch and don't actually work.

Took down a kett facility on Eos before getting the quest because I happened to drive past in the nomad, lol. Whoops, sorry Massani. 

I have a bad habit of stumbling upon places I don’t have a quest marker for yet. Like there’s an extra vault on Eos, it’s door wasn’t locked so I went in and scanned some stuff. Wasn’t til I looked it up til I realized I have to follow some clues to get there.

Whoops.

One of the bases Bain pointed out glitched and wouldn’t spawn one of the enemies and so it couldn’t finish the fight; when I ran away and came back they all respawned.

Luckily Bain counted all the bases when I went to talk to him.

! What was the mod?
Ive used the fixpack and MP skills in SP, Faster Kadara doors, Shut up SAM All In One and Better Squad1 at least, those have been stable.

Thanks to dazk and KrrKs for suggestions.

Too funny, sounds like it would have been pretty funny to watch!!!!! 

just got started on a new playthrough today

Wow she's very pretty, love the hair. 

I actually named all my Sara's, "Sara" after realising the game calls her that, even if it is only a few times. Sentinel is my favourite profile.

I am just finishing the book "Endymion" by Dan Simmons!!!!
