Lets do sonething positive.
Which sidequest felt the most Mass Effect to you?
And which main mission?
Use spoiler tags where necessary.
Music, mission, style.
Sidequest: Last segment of "Contagion" the decision at the end let me go ME1 renegade. It was so ME1 that it hurt/H-047c quest inside the bubbles this was ME1 on steroids, nice little data entries too.
Main mission: Salarian Ark, again it was the choice at the end that brought it home./End mission + Nomad. (Nuff said.)

The salarian ark and Meridian the journey home are easily the best missions. I did enjoy Vetra's Lm though.

Very little actually felt like the Mass Effect i knew. But Firefighters was the closest because it provided an interesting back story to project overlord and choice.
I love renegade plays so much that me2 is still my favorite. I think that affected me alot with MEA and the choices. At most i was a good guy with an attitude.
No sense of that person that does what needs to be done. Can't hurt Tann , Addison or the angry soldier.
You can't even shoot spender in the head.....
I was waiting for that to appear when you learnt of what happened.... jail or exile both are too good for him....

He/She isn't above the law like Shepard was in the OT. Randomly shooting people in the head (as much as they deserved it) is still murder, and Ryder would be subject to the law in that regard. We aren't given carte blanche like in the OT. I think the option to exile Spender (knowing that his "friends" will quickly make short work of him, and failing that, I'm sure Drack has some "vacation time" coming) fit well with the "idea" of shoot him in the head, but it's a "legal" way to do it. In the same vein, hurting the leaders of the Initiative, without the immunity that Spectre status provides, again puts Ryder into a criminal situation. All of that being said, I certainly wouldn't have minded a few slightly more "aggressive" conversation options, but full renegade like in the OT simply wouldn't work without that Spectre status.

I wish everyone comparing Ryder to Shepard could read your post VanSinn. It's easy to be the anti-hero when playing as Shepard, the Spectre. But if Ryder went around shooting people and being an asshole to everyone, he'd quickly become a villain. Ryder's job as pathfinder involves diplomacy and leadership, not random acts of murder and violence.

I am pretty sure Drack had some Nakmors sitting at Kadara waiting.😂 But it would of been nice to have alot more aggressive choices overall. Even if it made the leaders question Ryder.

But if Ryder went around shooting people and being an asshole to everyone, he'd quickly become a villain. Ryder's job as pathfinder involves diplomacy and leadership, not random acts of murder and violence. Agreed with your last point. I will say, though, that there could have been certain situations on Kadara, for instance, when dealing with people who are already considered to be criminals by Nexus standards, where more aggressive responses could definitely have been added. Full on murder wouldn't likely be appropriate, but some guy giving you shit and you have the option of knocking his ass out or something? That could have given a bit more of that Renegade feel without going full on murderknife. What we got with Ryder makes sense to me, and I enjoy the difference between Ryder and Shepard, but I do agree that there could have been a bit more "Renegade-lite" content for those that wanted it.

Heh, yeah, I don't think Spender lasted very long after leaving the Nexus. Drack would have made sure of it if nothing else. I don't think having a whole LOT of extra aggressive choices would have fit the Pathfinder idea, diplomacy and leadership being the main things, but definitely at least a FEW more options wouldn't have hurt, especially on Kadara, and to a lesser extent on Eladaan with the Krogan, since ME2 and ME3 set the precedent for those kinds of actions earning their respect.

Side Quest: Voeld’s Artificial AI. The scenario was mysterious, and I did not know whom to believe. And, will be testing both outcomes in two different games. Also, love it that the AI will interact with SAM. A typical ME touch. Main Quest: Visiting the Remnant City the first time, and discovering that what we thought was a Meridian is not really the Meridian. Reminded me the revelation portion of the ME1. Ancient city, unexpected info, etc.

I liked Liam's loyalty mission the most. Playing around with gravity, actually making use of the setting of the game. Some funny moments, a boss fight, inspiration from Star Wars, very fun. Felt like Mass Effect 2.

Yep nice idea OP,
Have to admit I usually come to forums to discuss what I regret.would like to see changed, but let's bring a bit of positivity.
Overall, I was happy with all main missions/allies missions, I dug Cora loyalty mission, and of course Liam's was funny.
I loved the asteroid planet (not simply for Vetra mission's, but also for the other domes, btw the minerals we find there it's a bit cheated)
Great feel walking through the jungle planet too. Even the side quests were interresting to me there.
And the nomad run on the final mission was a very nice time also.
Finally, while initially I wan't fond at all of Kadara (I remember thinking "does BW have to add some smuggler city in EVERY game??", as I found it was really not in line with the spirit of Andromeda/exploration/pathfinder initiative), I started quickly to dig the encounters with Reyes.
I stop here, but if I started thinking for a minute, I would find plenty of others cool moments.

best side quest was Drack's mission
and best main mission is the last one, speaking to all crew members to get ready to go to meridian and kill archon, and te final battl with all the allies coming to help

Hmmm...Drack's and Liam's loyalty missions. Very much in the vein of past ME loyalty missions with a growth and closure end to each.

Felt like Mass Effect 2. yeah that's probavly my favourite of the loyalty missions. Loved the comedy in that kind of reminds me of some of the Quark episodes in DS9 and the Citadel DLC from ME3. Main story wise I'd probably asy the mission on the Archon's ship where you're trying to uncover his plans and all that.

Overlord has a good finish, but damn I hate that stupid Hammerhead. Thank the spirits the reapers destroyed it. I liked the Hammerhead, it could actually get over vertical inclines unlike the Mako which would flip over and get turned around after hitting a pebble.
