Steve Ryder: 1. Went to Eladaan.
2. Took the Outlaw outpost for Barrett. Could not access the munitions room because I forget how (did not do it in my previouys playthrough either). I think you need a code from the Flophouse or something; no terminal or access from the outpost itself from what I could find.
3. Found Isabel Halsey and decided to leave her alone. Told Isabel's brother that she was a lost cause.
4. Went into the derelict Remnant ship, but discovered that the drive core was already taken.
5. Picked up an Angaran relic.
6. Met the real Saelen Varn. Apparently the other "Saelen Varn" was Dr. Aden in dsiguise. Ryder agreed to set up a meeting to catch Dr. Aden.
7. Traced the drive core to the flophouse area.
8. Destroyed the final sets of explosive canisters.

Steve Ryder: 1. Went to Kadara. Spoke with Cole Dalton about locating Lejta for Rorik. Found the murder victims dumped into the water and reported their locations back to Seneris. Met Dr. Aden, but took his deal instead of arresting him. Met with the hackers. Scanned the hackers' equipment to learn they were planning an attack on the Nexus.
2. Returned to the Nexus. Disarmed Knight's EMP devices. Talked to her, then had her sniped before she could do anything else. Replayed the final memory and read the last of the messages. The twins located Ellen Ryder's cryo pod.
3. Went to Aya. Returned a relic to the curator. Spoke with Lejta.
4. Went to Eos. Played a soccer game with Liam. Attacked and shut down the Kett base and killed Invictor. Spent some time advancing some RNG missions and farming XP. Reached level 61.
5. Researched and crafted updated weapons and armor.
6. Went to Voeld. Rescued some Angaran prisoners from a Kett camp, and shut down a Kett shuttle control center that was at the same location. Restocked the final medical cache and assaulted the Kett base. Recovered Kett logs of first contact with the Angara. Took out the base by destroying the hangar platforms and killing the Prefect. Returned the logs to the historian

RedCaesar97, I'd never be able to wait so long to attack the Kett bases. They're some of the highlights of the entire game for me. I'd go mad waiting. 😄 I usually destroy Invictor's base around level 20 or 21. I generally handle the Voeld base in the 30s. (I usually level up a couple if times during the Voeld base.) I know these details do precisely because I'm so predictably methodical in my order of play. 🤦🏻♂️😁

I enjoy them as well, but I am doing things kind of weird this playthrough. I am planet hopping a lot and have left some things until later. Normally I really focus on each planet when I get to it and do everything I can (Eos in two parts of course). I will probably take another long break from Andromeda after this. Also, this may be one of my last 99-100% playthroughs I do. I am really starting to feel the completionist drag set in; I really want to move on to something else at this point, but I am mostly done everything. I am cleaning up the planets now before going back to main mission ("Meridian").

Steve Ryder: 1. Found more ZK trackers, and discovered Dr. Kennedy was pregnant.
2. Went to Eladaan. Told Rorik about Lejta. Investigated some Kett infighting and recovered a datapad. Traced the transmisson on the datapad to Eos.
3. Went to Eos. Followed the transmission through several relays until reaching a Kett facility. Talked to the Primus and agreed to a deal. Went into a Remnant facility, defeated the Kett, and recovered the data. Went to a Kett facility and shut down their surveillance.
4. Traced Dr. Kennedy back to Voeld. Protected Dr. Kennedy from Roekkar and Kett. Found the missing scientists -- they were dead -- and then defeated the Architect.
5. Returned a relic to the curator on Aya. Bought more supplies for the pilot.
6. Returned to the Nexus and spoke to Davis Kar about the receivers.
7. Went to Voeld and participated in Angaran special forces trials. Beat the record for defeating the Remnant (only one reload required because I killed the Destroyer too quickly which prevented the last bot from spawning).
I should be able to complete this playthrough over the weekend, if nothing else IRL takes up a lot of time.
EDIT: After writing this post, I went to Eos and beat some enemy encounters until I reach level 71. Crafted updated weapons and armor. Switched melee from Asari Sword back to Remnant Cryo Gauntlet since I am rarely using melee and I was only killing enemies with the melee about half the time when I did. So back to freezing enemies on health occasionally.

RedCaesar97, I heavily employ melee only when playing Vanguard. I melee consistently with all builds, but it's only a key source of DPS for my Vanguards. I use it frequently with Soldier builds, too, most often in the form of aerial melee, finishing off downed or clustered enemies. Aerials, of course, don't vary with weapons. When I evolve my skills, I try to balance optimization between Sentinel, Vanguard, and Soldiers I like to play. Those are the only three builds I keep around for very long. Fortunately, their needs mostly align. There are a few skill evos that would differ between Sentinel and Vanguard if I were trying to optimize every single choice, but the game is so easy that a few compromises don't even make a noticeable difference.

Yeah, the only time I played a Vanguard build -- a charge-focused build -- is when I used melee a lot and I used the Asari Sword since it was the most damaging. Broke the game a few times because of it (the game crashed whenever I melee'd an Ascendent to death in the final mission).

Steve Ryder: 1. Went to Khi Tasira. Discovered the Angara were created by the Jaardan and got the final Remnant data core for Peebee. Activated Remnant ships. Activated the main console, then defeated Archon's Sword. Discovered that the Meridian Engine (the real Meridian) was lost.
2. With Suvi's help, located Meridian. Scanned planets. Talked to Keri again. Played a game with Drack in a bar. Picked up some things for movie night.
3. Returned to Khi Tasira and located Meridian. And then the Archon severed Steve's SAM connection, nearly killing him again.
4. Sara Ryder briefly fought some Kett on the Hyperion and reconnected SAM.
5. Steve rallied some Remnant ships and allies and went to Medirian, taking the fight to the Archon. Dropped in on the Nomad and drove to Meridian Control. Disabled the Primus's ship as was the deal. Captain Dunn died (Sarissa could not get close enough). Defeated the Archon.
6. Skipped the credits.
7. Nominated Bradley for interim ambassador.
Going to have to finish the rest of it tomorrow.
