I got to talk to Scott. I decided to tell him the truth about everything, and it didn't go well. I hope I didn't break him (spoiler tag contains screenshots) I also talked to the Big Bad and met Jaal. Not a great first impression, I must say. I take it some of the angara have run into colonists already, and have upgraded their own omnitools/babblefish/whatever to be able to communicate with Sara? Edit much later: Nevermind, this is their first meeting with humans. Space magic to the rescue, then? I kind of wish it hadn't gone this smoothly. I don't mean that I wanted a gun fight to break out, but more misunderstanding would have been interesting to deal with.

Finished that main part of Eos. Went to vault, started science outpost, doing ship stuff now.
Vault was annoying because I went far into it but died and had restart the whole last part again. I can understand the hatred for this design now.
Game performance is... all over the place. Like DAI, perhaps it'll need several patches before I'm more comfortable with how it runs. Ugh.
Tried some MP but it doesn't run well enough for me to stick with it. Maybe some other time.
Talked with Cora and Gil. Convos on the ship aren't so bad as I imagined. Not sure how lore breaking it is to have Cora being up Ardat-Yakshi so easily, but I will so far at least consider that with everyone in the Initiative, such secrets (even between asari) aren't so secret anymore. While the idea of the AY hasn't left Mass Effect, between the outcomes of ME3 and the straightforwardness of MEA, the 'secret' part of them seems to barely exist anymore, if at all (I do have some consideration for Ryder being Pathfinder and thus the Important One to tell things). Gil.... I'm piecing together info from and about him and it isn't so bad. I don't love him and I'm almost sure I'd do a m/m with the Jaal or Liam concept instead though. Bioware please save me with something, even a DLC squaddie that at least kinda fits into the main game and does great in post-game. Something. Afsifjsjdgsg
Going full Tech so far but preferring Infiltrator profile with it. Not enough skill points to experiment yet.

I got very interested in finishing a side mission. At first I thought it might be bugged, but then I read it was related to the main mission so I continued. And continued. Then finished the game. And the side mission is, in fact, bugged. Couldn't unlock Dad Ryder's memories.

I heard Cass (Sanaeris) !!! Sounds like her. I doubt Miranda Raison was pulled in for MEA but whoever it was sounded like her; without the accent in DAI.

Reached level 36. Did you know that to craft a level 10 weapon and level 10 armor, your character has to be at level 80? Obviously that will happen over 1, maybe 2 new game plus's. Found the asari ark and helped the asari fight back the kett Got a new crewmate I encounter 2 former Cerberus employees on Katara. They mentioned Overlord and Gavin Archer's name. Even mentioned lazarus project. Talked about their boss and the Lawson woman, as they call her.

The important thing is: I can finally customize my outfit! Figure 1. Nifty Scarf, Ryder Save for choosing my jacket, I have risked my life to get 1 mineral surveyed on EoS for geophysics, and was unable to do the memory triggers etc, as I am waiting for Radiation to clear. Tried to do crafting but eww, I just hate that stuff; I think I managed to update Avenger to Level 2, that's about that (but apparently you have to manually reload it on the character as well, why? I liked how it just automatically did it for you. I guess I have to sell my Avenger I also?). Mining though is not bad. Luckily, I got a load of stuff in e-mail, so hopefully I don't have to craft. Went to Tempest and chatted with the available crew. Drack is the one who is "out" for me, and I am not talking to Suvi again, because open spirituality makes me uncomfortable. The rest are pretty cool bunch, and I can't decide if PB or Vetra comes along for the next planet. Liam is not going be my LI (made my Ryder drink beer whether I want it or not), but I can see how he is really likable and epitomizes the boy next door. Parked on Nexus, found the Perks place, and finally visited Scott, who is still under. Really hoping to get more time today to play, because lots of fun. Way better than Inquisition so far in that it's okay not to hurry, but you also do not lose the story-line under the fetch-this mountain.

Omg, I did not excpect it, but I ran into Archon and into Angarans after I left Nexus!!!
I absolutely love Jaal!
Also, so much chit-chat, e-mails and message board! PB's responces to Cora's fire-drill is precious.
PeeBee just bought me with her enthusiasm, she reminds me the Liara I've liked, so I am off to check out Angaran homeworld with Jaal and PB. Hey, they are color-coordinated!
Weeeeeeeeeee!

I told the truth too. I played it that the twins were close and never lied about anything to each other. Besides, the mental link between twins is infamous; the attempts to lie would have been felt.

Liara is more quiet / studious / shy / earnest, PB is the opposite and she has a different outlook on certain things.

Just been cruisin' around Eos. Some of the stuff seems like perhaps I was supposed to do along the way to activating the monoliths, but I drove past it. Went to the Nexus to pick up the 2 slot mod bonus for the great Revenant I am going to minifacture.

Yes, but there is that love for her subject, that enthusiasm for new discoveries in the field, reminds me of Liara that dug up holes in the park when she was little to find ruins, and overall a feel of sweetness of youth, while thankfully, PB does not swoon when Shepard maybe, possibly accidentally glanced her way. Anyway, I have a bit more time, so gonna see how PB & Jaal get along. Then I will see if I want to mix and match another character with my Angaran guide.

Spent too much time on Voeld and I now hate ice levels. But I have to go back to do the Angara crap. Voeld is like the Hinterlands all over again. I finish one side-quest, then another pops up.

Ah, I also took a week off starting on Wednesday, and so far I made it to Haraval. :) I am not much for playing for long stretches + we finally get above freezing, my family is home for the Spring break, so pretty good vacations so far. Good game, good times, good weather...

Liara's a bloodhound on the trail of Prothean history. Beyond professional relationships, it's unlikely she formed any close attachments; hence her swooning. I didn't like the way they wrote her in that manner, honestly. PB is different. She's more experienced and she's ..bouncy. I'd not say anything further but she fits the more typical aspect of a restless maiden. Some of her airy dismissing statements is irksome. * Came across some Cerberus references. The implausibility of one is .. well, I'd say there's a bit of BS there.

I don't know if its me getting older or what, but I come to adore the 'annoying' traits in Bioware characters.
Like when people complain about the asariboo of Cora and snap temper of Liam I quickly make easy character rationalizations for it and appreciate it as texture to who they are, and enjoying that the writing doesn't have it as all they are as people (which tbh I'd see more the earlier in BW games I go).

I'm regretting choosing Liam; he's a fruitcake. For once, I'll borrow Phoray's book of pingpong romance and play merry h*ll. I never do this in any of the other Bioware titles but this is one title where I'm not drawn in, interested nor invested in the chars.

Still not terribly impressed by Liam or Jaal. I mean, they're fine, I guess, but unless they get more interesting, it doesn't look like I'll be able to do a straight female romance in this game. Lesbians, here I come! I went to Havarl to rescue some missing scientists who didn't realize they needed rescuing, then went to find a memory trigger that is somehow on a planet Alec Ryder has never been to (conspiracy?? #NotUntilYouSeeTheBody). Instead of finding the memory trigger, I ended up in a turian camp! Yay, turians! Imma go finish their fetch quest and ignore the angarans for a while. Why does Havarl have the same giant flying stingrays as Habitat 7? Maybe the angarans brought them over? Are they good eats?

I never do this in any of the other Bioware titles but this is one title where I'm not drawn in, interested nor invested in the chars. That's kind of where I'm at too, though I am enjoying the game itself. The one person I'm looking forward to finding out more on is dad Ryder, assuming I can find all the memory triggers (and the quest doesn't bug out like someone else mentioned). Also want to know what exactly went down on the Nexus before we arrived.
I did Vetra's loyalty mission so the romance is on track. Loved running around the asteroid/planet in zero G in the Nomad. Vetra and Jaal both got a good laugh, whether from excitement or hysteria at my driving, I'm not sure. I killed the entire party (twice) by nose-diving into the big ol' canyon. Whoops.
I'm still amazed the game runs as well as it does on my PC. Way better than DAI did at launch (or ever), even though the specs are supposedly higher. Go figure.
