Think I'm on a winning srteak atm jus ttaken down the Voeld archtects without it killing me so that's 2 for 2 so far. Would love to nail al 4 without dying but I doubt that will happen Mak etha t3 out of 3 now as I've just taken Elaaden's down Maybe I will nail all 4 after all but given Kadara like Eos I find a bit tougher due to the landscape. I'm not goin to celebrate too soon. Mus tadmit I owe a bi gthank yo uto Zap though given sh etook out a lot of the Architects bots that it spawned.

The Kadara one you just need to find good cover that doesn't disappear and that is near an ammo box. There are a few sets of the tall pillars that don't move near ammo boxes where you can take cover when it has it attack runs that you can hide behind and also take out the remnant bots without too much trouble. The third stage get up the rocks close to it, I no it sounds counter intuitive but there is good cover behind the short hexagon pillars that do not move. Also take Drack with you he is great at handling the Remnant bots. What gun are you using?

It took me a while to notice that the pillars were rearranging themselves during that fight (Kadara architect). I would look and think to myself, uh, that wasn't there before, was it? and just thought I was losing it. Until I paid attention enough to actually see them moving.

Yeah it was a shock, I think even on Eos for the first time and fighting the one there I was so shocked when my cover just disappeared and I was like WTF!!!! Took me a few seconds to get it together and find new cover.

The Valkyrie is probably the most effective AR, you just need to augment it to Auto-fire and add as many Kinetic Coils to it you can. Also make sure you load whatever melee weapon you are using with Kinetic Coils as they add to your total damage even if you aren't using it and use disruptor ammo (I assume you are already). I don't use the Sniper rifle against them, the reloading time (especially for the better damage ones) I think is more of a penalty than the extra damage is a bonus and the AR is compensated by the high rounds per minute of fire. I actually carry 2 Valkyries (useful in particular on Elaaden) or 1 and a SMG but find using the bigger ammo clip on the Valkyrie (especially playing as a soldier and using an armour set that boosts damage I can take down an Architect with just one of my Valkyries and without using an ammo box. The key though is getting into a good position, as quickly as possible. A lot of the bigger pillars on the Kadara architect, especially on the sides of the sites don't usually move IIRC whereas the smaller ones either disappear or you get damage because of the architects elevation. Best of luck, I hope you down them all first go and Kudos to you I know the controls aren't easy for you. P.S. how's the new PC going? I assume you are appreciating the better graphics qualities? I know for me when I got a new PC mid MEA I was amazed t the difference it made? This is one of the spots when it is down low: This is the spot up top I climb to when it's flying up to that top level, Drack is great for this spot a is Cora as they keep the Remnant bots off you and you can focus on the Architect:

This is one of the spots when it is down low: This is the spot up top I climb to when it's flying up to that top level, Drack is great for this spot a is Cora as they keep the Remnant bots off you and you can focus on the Architect: Yeah I always use disruptor or Inciendiary Ammo against th eRemnasnt as I always do that anywa yeven against the Geth and mechs in the trilogy as well. I've also mainly been using the Assault rifles too against it. The sniper rifle is mostly fordealing with the Kett or the Outlaws really. Scope them up and 1 shot them down. Also I'm playing as a Sentinel so I've been using a mix of both Biotic and Tech abilities. Yeah I agree wih you about the Vaslkyrie it's a good gun one of my favouritein the games. I'm mainly not using i tas my Shep used i tin ME and I wanted to do something different with MEA. Still whatever I'm doing seem sto b eworking given I've now nailed 3 of them without dying. As for my new PC it's good so far. I saw a bigger jump in performance on the trilogy than I have in MEA though. MEA moer or less looks the same the biggest change really is I'm not noticing any slowdown when visiting busy areas like the Nexus or Aya which should be standard anyway considering the upgrade. I amlooking forward to seeing that big fire fight between the Remnant city and Kett though. Also that fire fight when we finally find Meridian. Seeing those go smooth will be nice as those 2 scenes erally impressed me when I played before. I haven't got too far to go though as really finishing up on Kadara so I can set up the outpost, Peebee's loyalty mission and the last 2 main story quests aer really all I have left. I do still have a few sidequests to though but they won't take too long to finish. At most I think it'll only take another couple of days. Iplan to go back to my sports gams next and give them a try mainly my Fifa and F1 games but I'm also looking forward to playing some NFS on here too.

Unfortunately my streak ended at 3 s the Kadara on emanaged to kill me. I did nail it on th esecond attempt though. For me in general it's not so much the Architect themselves that are the problem but the arena wher the fights tak eplac esomeimes that can be the problem forme especiall yconsidering I only hav e1 hand on the controls. Unfortunately I go ta bi ttrapped and couldn' tmove quickl yenough to avoid it's blasts.
Still naliing 3 Architects without dying is still impressive so I'm quiet proud o ftha tconsiderin ghow tough those fights are. Fun definitely but tough

sjsharp2010 Oh man that sucks re the streak!!!!! Hope I didn't put you off your game with the suggestions. Glad you are seeing big differences in MET, I haven't played that with my new PC but for me the detail in MEA really popped and I can't wait to play it with my new monitor as that made a huge difference with The Division 2. Think the universe is telling me to finish my current PT of MEA an image of The Andromeda Galaxy popped up on my wallpaper today!!!! Got probably at least50 hours of Assassins Creed Odyssey to finish yet though.

No you didn't I jus tapproached the fight as I normall yd ojus tgot unlucky but then I d ofind Kadara the hardest to be fair. I ca ntake i tdown and I hadt aken i tdown in on ego befoer so i tcould hav ehappened i tjus tdidn' this time. Still next time I play I can try again and see if I can. I think the graphics have improved in places in MEA bu tnothing too significant the biggest things I'm noticing is the gam erunning smooth. Thou ghI am lookin gforward t odoing Khi Tesira and Meridian as I'm hoping I can finish th egam etomorrow as those 2 plus Peebee's quest are all I've go tleft on this playthrough. I do have the movie night sied quest as well to finish up too but that's about it.

Been making my way through various quests today
Saved the Moshaje, found some tech for Peebee, killed some more kett also found some intel about the asari ark, and did various other side quests
atm. I'm on Kadara, and just helped Reyes finish up the murder case Sara kinda likes Reyes, something Vetra was quick to point out (and yeah I restarted with the default name few days back...my Ryders have head canon names instead )
while I'm aware Reyes isn't exactly a...moral character, I kind of like his interactions with Ryder even their flirting doesn't really feel like flirting, it's more...dunno, it kinda feels natural? Like, neither is trying but you know something's there Ryder: we work well together Reyes: careful, I'll start thinking you like me Ryder: would that be so bad? Reyes: depends, don't be a stranger Ryder & me:
also can I just say I love the Fast Mining mod? it makes my playtime so much easier

I've not played Neville's story further, but blasted some Kett, Remnant and also a few Roekar to pieces while testing stuff. A few funfacts: All those movement speed altering effects - especially the mp one when carrying the backpack - only apply while having a gun drawn. Remnant creepers and breachers seem to be considered 'wildlife' as far as factions are concerned. Also: Roekar belong to the exile faction(s). There are actually three factions in the game, but the getFaction method can only be used with team ids (no idea where those come from; Team14 what is that? ) The getEnemyTeam Id returns a faction id, albeit one that is completely different from the faction id above There are TypeIds that match the faction id returned by getTeam multiplied by 100 and with an actual type offset. There is yet another getTeamId method which returns yet another completely different number Flak cannon power checks whether angara are kett, I have no idea why.

Took care of a lot of quests today plus unlocked several more, and a few loyalty quests (Drack, Vetra and Cora so far) Sara took out her first Architect today on Eos with help from Jaal and Peebee Cora and Liam helped take out the kett base as well
I also came across some quest on Kadara that I missed last time, namely the Collective base ones, it was fun also found out that their top operatives have constellation code names (Lynx, Dorado, Crux etc.) which I thought was a nice touch ended the day by going on a date with Reyes
and I just gotta say...why are you so damn smooth Reyes?! I mean...he's a lying piece of sh*t but the type that you just can't hate (I can't anyway ) plus that line during the date...tugs at my heart string every damn time Ryder: why'd you come (to Andromeda) Reyes? Reyes: to be someone Ryder: you are someone to me Reyes: *cups Ryder's face* I'm starting to think that kiss was more then just a distraction
I mean, just... tomorrow I'll be cleaning up the quests on Kadara (as much as possible) and then probably head over to Voeld to clear that one out as well I'll probably also be doing Cora's loyalty quest then as well

Uh... modding woes. I'm messing around with some 19 years old game and the tool I use cannot add more database entries, so it is repurposing existing stuff. Remnant creepers and breachers seem to be considered 'wildlife' as far as factions are concerned. Ah, that is probably why they yield no XP. On the other hand... Also: Roekar belong to the exile faction(s). I guessed as much once I saw them drop Milky Way tech weapons, but no angaran stuff. Though the respwaning Roekar on Havarl never yield XP, unlike normal outlaws anywhere else. Me guesses this could be due to the Havarl zone having a script that prevents any XP gain?

Today I cleared out Kadara and started an outpost there Reyes is in charge, and ah...Sara is pretty much "Queen of Kadara" now settled things with Knight, helping her son with SAM
found the asari ark, made Vederia the Asari pathfinder, Sara was pretty rude to Sarissa (Cora did not approve) helped Jaal rescue some of his sibs from Akksul (didn't shoot him) then traveled to Voeld and reactivated the Vault there and also established the outpost (got enough viability to do so)
tomorrow I'm going to clean up more quests on Voeld, and probably help Vetra with her loyalty mission then it's of to Eldaaden and help Drack with his quest in order to nail Spender (dunno yet what I'm gonna do this time around with Aroane)
also probably head back to Kadara to finish up a few more quests...kill another Architect, that sort of thing

So currently doing something a bit...tedious
I noticed that nowhere on the internet (unless I look in the wrong places, which happens) I can find a complete list of all the default (non modded) faces for Ryder so...I decided to make one myself
which requires ten times going through a portion of the prologue because I want to take a screenshot of each default Dad Ryder as well...
wish me luck, and sanity
once it's done I'll be posting my list here

I absolutely stink at character creation. I did 14 runs … 7 with each Ryder … eventually I got a decent female Ryder and a so-so male Ryder (not impressed with any of the male hair options) … which I went back and retrofitted to all my Ryders.
That said, it's on me … several folks have created great Ryders … so while the CC might not be optimal, lots of folks have made it work.
As an aside, I also really stink at armor visual customizations. I learned in ME3MP to go with the "road hard and put away wet look" … that has served me well in ME3MP, MEAMP and Anthem. Prolly pretty much any other game that allows customization.
Good luck.

I just have 3 heads left now...almost done then I need to resize stuff to fit everything on a single page...thankfully I can get a lot done while I wait for cut scenes to play as for color...this game has a terrible color wheel in itself, and you can't even get 100% black! you can get 100% white, but the 100% black always eludes me that said, I was able to get a nice dark brown for the leather jacket my current Ryder wears still looks terrible in certain lights, but I can deal with that
Edit: it's done...and it's big...had to resize it to 50% or else it'd be even bigger feel free to safe it...share it, whatever

I cannot tell you how many times I did a face I was happy with and then they'd wake up on the ark and I'd be noooooooooooooo it looks terrible and have to start again, one face took me at least 5 or 6 attempts. My best successes were when I was working to a plan, like making a Sara that looked like her mum or like Captain Dunn etc....

it was quite tedious to do, every time I'd go faster through the motions like; "press 7 then space bar" run to doors...gotta wait for Cora...wait for the scanner scene...wait some more at one point I was all "AAAAAAAAAA!!!!" But I got it done, and I'm kinda glad I did
gotta say, from all of the Dad Ryders, default and head 3 or 10 are my favorites...tried making a nice female Ryder with head 3 but those lips so yeah, head 10 is my favorite atm. for making a female Ryder, though dad Ryder looks a bit odd in that one due to the red eyebrows + grey hair would've looked better if his hair was also red-ish with grey streaks or something
I was looking for some nice mods to make the textures for head 10 less red but I've yet to find one that looks nice (I really wanna make a red-head Ryder fam with loads of freckles) though I'd make my own if I remotely knew how and where to start

Are you using Frosty Mod Manager? I think I made this one who is my favourite Sara and is a red head from Head 10 but the hear is part of a different mod but it's been so long since I made one I can't remember what else I did to achieve it. This is a couple of mine I used with streaks but they were all fluoro This one had a good smattering of freckles and I think its from head ten but I think I used a mod to change head 10 to get the freckles

I found a few nice freckle mods, but sometimes the eyebrows are a bit too much, for example link I love this one but the eyebrows are far too arched for my liking I also like this one link but it replaces complexion 8 instead of 10 so a lot of npc's have the same texture if I use it... as for males...err...not many nice looking mods for male Ryders, so I'm currently using this one link for male Ryder
I still don't get why they couldn't have just used the same CC layout as used in Inquisition since it uses the same engine and everything yeah I'd totally remake several faces if I was capable especially those poor Asari who suffer from massive same-face syndrome except for Peebee same for the Angara...I belief only Efra has a somewhat different face, everyone else is a Jaal and Moshae clone also what's with all those bare faced turians? I thought it was a social stigma in their society for not having face markings sorry...I'm rambling a bit

Edit: it's done...and it's big...had to resize it to 50% or else it'd be even bigger Running through the same sequence again and again and then one more time... welcome to the world of modding. Anyway, congrats for finishing that. Just make sure to post it somewhere so it does not get lost. I would recommend some sort of wiki, but fandom's ME wiki is basically run by a single admin who likes the established policies quite a lot, so I don't think we could put it there if he does not like it.

I currently have it saved on my pc and on the image sharing site I use suppose someone with a reddit account who's willing could also post it there... (I'd do so myself but I've yet to take the plunge to go there to make an account) but as I said, if someone wishes to share it somewhere, be my guest (I mostly made it for myself, but thought it'd be neat to share regardless)
as for modding...Maker do I wish I could mod this game to oblivion and back...first thing I'd tackle would be the same-face syndrome of the Asari characters I mean, what use is it to have an amazing character like Lexi (yeah I like her) be voiced by Natalie Dormer (who as I recall is quite good looking) if she looks like every other asari aside from Peebee (I also love Peebee)?
