'I like or love the game' (General feedback)

Haha. I'm still looking for my thing but last reincarnation of my Sidewinder is shieldbashing and armor piercing at least. With extra clip, barrel and scope it makes for a helluva sidearm. I may even ditch a shotgun and go with just that and the karfalon (?).

Lol, those chatty angaran. Perhaps a bugg-report on that one?

Some people complain about a "lack of grit". I just advanced the story and got hit with grit in spades. I guess as always the bashers are just that. Bashers.

So, first hours of playing MEA were painful to me. And disappointing - I felt bored and just couldn't feel the ME climate. But now (I am exploring Kadara atm) I am really enjoying it. I feel like side quests became more interesting, which helps a lot, and I really like the created world. Yes, I'd like to feel more connection with my team, I'm not fully convinced to the new protagonist, and I think the story repeats the OT too much, but none of this makes me really unhappy and I think all in all, the game is good. If I could really change something, that would be the inventory system, otherwise - I don't regret buying it and I'm certainly going to replay it soon

Now that I'm essentially a crackfiend that spent over an hour just trying to decide what kind of gun I want to craft, this thing is easily one of my favorite purchases in a good while, even more than my 50% off purchase of TW3 ( I had to mention it because of reasons). In any case, the funky animation that I experienced in parts of the beginning of the game don't seem to be as apparent the more I progress, and I guess I'm one of those lucky few that's yet to experience any serious bugs outside of multiplayer (lag and crashes). I think what enthralls me the most about the game (so far) is that the whole role of Pathfinder pathfinding things is that wandering and investigating feels more encouraged, so I never quite feel like my PC is wasting time going off the beaten path.

They need to release a patch that gets rid of the rubbish puzzles. They got rid of them after Mass Effect 1 but now they've brought it back and made it even worse. It slows down the gameplay and it's not fun. Who actually enjoys doing them?

I do. Haven't skipped one.

Maybe on alt playthroughs I'll actually use the skip items.

I quite like Sudoku in general so I don't mind that much. But they're a bit immersion breaking and don't really make much sense in the game.

The game is starting to feel a lot like SWTOR Smuggler's story, only obviously with many more bells, whistles, twists and turns, and yeah, that's another check marks on my "I want to see it again" list! I'v done Liam's loyalty mission, and, yeah, Smuggler feel all the way, the villain's dialogue and the party banter was priceless....

Progress through the game and you'll find decryption keys which obviate the need to actually do the puzzle if you dont want to.

I started finding them in the Hidden Caches you unlock via the AVP military perk Reconaissance, just FYI.

All the "fetching" and drinking just payed off. I knew BW wouldn't let me down.
