What Did You Do Today in Andromeda

With my internet service fixed and a few other real life things taken care of, I finally had a chance to play a bit more.

Scott's still on Eos with Vetra and Cora. They tried to get some rock samples some scientists on the Nexus wanted, but the high radiation in the surrounding area almost killed them. I guess I'll have to improve the atmosphere some more, or get some gear that will offer more protection, maybe. I've left it for now, anyway.

They investigated another outpost (called “Resilience”) that had been attacked by the Kett, and were themselves attacked by both the Kett and some Brute-like thing.

They explored some more and found Drack fighting some Kett (evidently fighting is a favourite pastime of krogan no matter what galaxy they're in ). Scott and company helped defeat the enemies, and Drack seemed impressed asked to join up. The more the merrier.

A new outpost was established, with Scott deciding that it should be dedicated to scientific rather than military pursuits. Addison came down to oversee the development – she doesn't seem to like Scott very much.

I ended the session after the cutscene – it appeared we'd been transported back to the location of the Tempest, so I'm taking that as a hint that it's time to leave this planet for the time being and do other things. There's some stuff to take care of back on the Nexus, so I think I'll head there when I resume.

It got to the stage I was forgetting to use my skills as the Valkyrie was doing to good a job 

I do love Flak Cannon, especially as I seem to have developed the knack for using to shoot people with rather than just an area of effect shot.  Its great for taking down scav's etc dropping from shuttles but its best feature for me is when suddenly surrounded by Wraiths etc. I just shoot it straight down next to me and that has saved my ass a fair few times   

Yeah I just find it really hard to come up with a good Scott other than the one I tend to just clone and yeah that's another reason I find myself making Sara's cause I end up more invested in them and not reminded constantly all game of any shortcomings in their design like I do Scott.

I may not be able to reply for a few hours but did you get a new headphones or are you going to still get a new audio system?

Some more Andromeda today. Reason why I have so many playthroughs going on at the same time is that I have very little focus to start with. So once I feel myself drifting off I tend to switch what I'm doing. Sometimes just a different face is enough, some times it's another game or another medium.
Like this Andromeda session started because I was watching youtube and needed to occupy my hands a little. Then ended up getting immersed and stopped watching the video to focus on the game

Ollie climbed the Sage tower and had a chat with the inhabitants, but wasn't in the mood for her.

Loaded up Eliza and gosh I love her face, despite her being a lizard person. Or maybe because she is a lizard person?

Anyways, she cleared the vault on Eos then did expensive extermination on Site 2. Aka, used three Cobra missiles, which are about 2400 a piece, so 7200 credits total. Third one was a bit of a waste, but Vetra and Cora were both down, Kett were shooting bullets at her and Fiend was sneaking in from the right. Since her load-out is sniper rifles only and running around with an anointed sights locked on your bum is suicide, she decided to spend the last one.
Then set up an outpost and wrapped up the Eos section of count your dead. Managed to do the Radiation 3 one in one try. Pretty proud of that.

Went to the Nexus and realized, there is nobody making me talk to Addison about the AVP stuff. So am going to ignore her for a while, maybe until after seeing the vault on Aya, to see if she sends Ryder a chastising letter. Not that I dislike her, I'm just enjoying the little extra chat bits for some stuff if you do them out of order.
Did talk to Scotty and he looks pretty good. A bit plain, but good.

Went to Havarl and saved the scientists, then back to the Tempest. Talked to the folks I hadn't talked to yet and finally realized that the screen in Liam's room is probably a picture and not a mini TV. But my head canon that Ryder sometimes goes over there to watch a movie with him still works, they just use the omni tool. Also did some minor crafting.
Then went back to Havarl and learned that there is a research station in the first base you can use even without creating an outpost, so that was handy. Saved them Turians and learned that the Lanat (?) sniper goes boom and the Cryo/Fire/Shock upgrade you can add on the leg armor improves the death from above punch into a satisfying elemental punch. No idea why I thought it would activate when you jumped.

Then it was time to climb the tower. Scanned the two turian wrecks on the way and nabbed the helmet. Talked to the peeps up top and fast traveled back to base, so next session she can scan her way to the bridge since I was too lazy to activate the fast travel point next to it.

So all in all a fun session. 

Shoved Peebee off of me. Recruited Peebee. Fixed the Vault, which instantly cleared the atmosphere and most of its radiation. Recruited Drack. Founded the first real settlement, Podromos. Addison said she was wrong about me but said we weren't all on the same side and that I should be careful. Gave a snide comment that she could be trusted when no one else could. She's still got an agenda and not one I trust.

Ignored most side quests but will get to them. Found a lot of dead bodies and encountered by first Fiend.

That's all for now.

I think it could only matter in a second game. More evidence that this was never intended to be a single game.

Keri is gross and disgusting. She makes you feel like slime because she specifically wants you to cheat and if you do it...well, I did once and hated the decision. To be fair, though, it was before they fixed the locked in romances and I was involved with five people in that run. However, only Keri made me feel bad.

I started the inevitable NG+ using Scott from my current twins. I almost always play as BrewisRyder when using Scott, even though I've made some good Scotts. Finally, though, I watch this guy and feel, "That's Scott." Certain faces just click. I have a Sara I really enjoy in the same way.

We're just now headed for Eos for the first time. A long road lies ahead. At least I won't have to carry this crappy ass Avenger and Armor with me past this point!

I try to always have my previous Scott/Sara as my twin in the next PT. 

I'm a creature of habit - even when using weapons with VHS installed, I still try to reload them and still run by every ammo crate I see.

ME1 did suffer from nice="interested".  It was just more pronounced with Liara.  Keri, I don't know.  I stay away from her except for interviews.  Maybe she's less Liara and more Diana Allers who flirts but then denies it if turned down.

Did a few side quests on Eos. Also investigated evidence about a murder suspect. While he didn't do it I wouldn't in any way call him innocent like he wanted to claim. "Attempted murder" is also a crime as far as I'm concerned. He still gets exiled.

What I was saying above is that I didn't choose the flirt option at all in any of the conversations and when we got to the last chat at the bar it still gave me the option to go back to her place.
