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. 🤦🏻♂️😁

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 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.

Steve Ryder: 1. Finished talking to everyone on the Hyperion. Went back to the Tempest and talked to everyone. 2. Went to Habitat-7 for the start of the terraforming process. 3. Movie night. 4. Went to Voeld and found the datapads of a family taken by the Kett. (This is the only mission I know I had not done by this point.)
Time: 87:56:09 99% completion.

Today I started my first ever Mass Effect Andromeda playthrough, and I'm liking it a lot this far I have played it more times that I can remember and love it, the combat is great and most of the planets are great to explore but the end game really nails the pacing and combat and excitement. Are you on PC, there are some MODS that really improve the game and fix some bugs.

Played some more till escaping the Remnant facility (or whatever it is) on Eos. The gameplay in this game is the stuff of dreams, I wish all the previous MEs had been like that. This is actually one of my favorite installments in ME, the gameplay/combat and Cora alone redeem any fault this game has in my eyes. I can finally play as a full biotic/Adept and have Biotic Charge and Nova (by the way, smart way of not having skills gated by a class yet having all original 6 classes in a way, this should have been like this in the Trilogy too). And the biotic jump/dash? Beyond cool, finally I can jump and jump everywhere in an ME game (of course I jumped above the Tempest, just because I can).
This is an amazing game for me, in terms of gameplay the best sci-fi game ever. I HATED that in ME3 there was pretty much no exploration outside of combat, this game seems like the answer to that.

Yay another fan of the game. I think I have played it 25 or 26 times, it is worth it just for the combat but the story is pretty good although the pacing can be a bit slow in parts. The Kett facility on Eos and the one on Voeld are two of the best and most fun combat missions but the rescue the Moshae one and the Archon's Ship (leave that till last) are also pretty epic as is the final battle. It is the one game I always have installed. There are some good MODS that rebalance combat and weapons and fix a few quests that are broken that Bioware never patched. Some great clothing MODS and ones that improve Cora etc's looks and gear. There are MODS to that let you romance anyone regardless of Ryder's gender and also everyone if you want to.

I reached my first flirting with Cora. But I also made the unwise choice of flirting with the asari reporter, I hope that doesn't hurt my romance with Cora. Thankfully I kept a save from before that conversation just in case, no asari can compete with my Vanguard Valkyrie.

That's good to hear. I have to ask, does sleeping with her impact the other romances? I thought this would be a ME2 scenario in which you can have a casual encounter with Jack but have the romance with Miranda progress normally. I hear you can also have a casual encounter with Peebee, keep it that way (not romance her) and romance someone else (I'm not interested in Peebee though).

With Kerri, yep the flirting and end result has no effect. Be careful with the PB casual fling and Cora, it isn't supposed to impact the relationship with Cora but to be on the safe side I don't. Cora's is one of the trickier ones to navigate. I have done the fling and been doing Cora's romance and had Cora just blirt out "PB, really Ryder I just don't want to lose something special". Sometimes it seemed to stuff the Cora romance up and other times not but that may just be a glitch of the game.

I'll also be keeping that pre-flirting with Keri save just in case, or if I want to roleplay a Ryder fully committed with Cora. Hell, I might just reload that save and delete the post-Keri flirt one. Cora is the only romance I care about, but since I played Shepard as a bit of a "we'll bang ok?" fiend in the ME trilogy (having the most number of flings and romances within possibility, yet ending up fully committed to one character), I thought I'd do the same here.

Played a bit more, but not much. Flirted some more with Cora. For someone so disappointed with the Pathfinder making his son his successor instead of her, his second in command, she sure is very into Scott...
Also unlocked some of Alec's records, including some messages belonging to one Dr Liara T'Soni. His proposal of using AI for the advancement of humanity was rejected back at the citadel, but he sounded like the kind of person who didn't allow laws to stop him...
The last thing that happened was an encounter with a non-aggresive new alien species from Andromeda. They're about to show Scott their Remnant vault, if everything goes as planned...
