Since its post negative media day in Andromeda.

side mission? one's involving the architect since it reminded me of fighting the thrasher maw during Grunts loyalty mission

main mission? remnant city.

I wonder if they call biotics something else since the moosea is able to create, what appears to be a biotic bubble, just before the shuttle picks her and Ryder up, and on Meridian, an angaran is seen providing a biotic bubble for the salarian who is shooting at the kett from a shuttle while its flying around

Yeah, the Angara have a integral bio-electricity that kinda sorta halfway takes the place of biotics in their species.  For the cinematics, whether it's a biotic shield or a bio-electric shield doesn't really matter, but that's the lore behind the thing Angara have.

It's not at all surprising, given the angara's apparent youth as a species. I suspect that we will encounter biotic kett the next time we face them. SAM emphasized that we can expect them to incorporate both biological and technical advantages introduced by the Initiative' species. More than anything else, this is their defining characteristic as a species-- to assimilate useful traits and tech.

What felt most "Mass Effect"? The quests involving the arks were all good examples of classic ME. Most of the Loyalty Missions, barring Liam's laugh-track quest (I'm not laughing), felt like classic ME.

The pursuit of the Archon, and all of the amazing discoveries to which this led, were classic ME.

Also, awakening the sibling and learning Alec's final secrets in quick succession (Mom and Reapers!) was a poignant, classic sequence. Listing to the Shepard and Reaper references made me at once both nostalgic about the OT and excited about MEA's present story. This is definitely the most exciting visit to the Nexus.

This entire game is very much a ME game. The "new" additions-- colonization efforts (AVP activities and exploration)-- were welcome additions for me. The rest is classic Mass Effect.

Good thread, zipzap2000 . The constant bitching is wearisome. I hope this thread helps some to ponder some of the good things this game brings to the table.

Yeah, the Ryder memories and murder mystery starts slow, but really pays off at the end.   Also liked earning the Angaran special forces badge.

Main missions?  I think I liked Vetra's loyalty one the best.  Cora and PeeBee tie for second, Then Drack's.   Liam's would be first if it was surprisingly funny, but the whole game was a bit too lighthearted to me.  Jaal last because I just didn't like him.

This quest worked for you? It won't "complete" for me, though I suspect it's otherwise finished.

Edit: I have no idea how the quote ended up outside the quote-box; and it won't allow me to reinsert it where it belongs.

I think he could have been more fun, if bioware had given him more content like they did with Cora for example. Problem is that they wrote him to be boring and they made him stand there like a dummy in the corner with almost nothing to say the entire game.

Ryder memory quests(even tough theyre pretty much fetch quests). But the payoff was nice.

Jaal's, Cora's and Drack's loyalty missions.

Salarian ark and Archon's flagship.

Meridian, find the way home.

Unfortunately all the side quests just ended abruptly.

But I weirdly liked the first birth in Andromeda side quest. The last part mostly defending the shuttle and hearing the baby cry. There was actual real emotion in this part. New life in Andromeda and we're going to fight for it. Plus I kept wanting to explanation about children. Hope the handle children like Zelda BOTW or Witcher 3 did in the future. It also ended decently compared to the rest

Which sidequest felt the most Mass Effect to you?
Second half of the Ryder's fammilly mission, Drack's loyalty mission and even Liam's loyalty mission, I mean, I laughed XD

And which main mission?
Salarian ark for sure.

( zipzap2000 I love your new avatar ^^)

Liam's Loyalty, definitely. Salarian Ark was the coolest arc (it's a fucking pun) and the Nomad was a nice (and better controlled) kickback to ME1. Drack's definitely felt the most Krogan without being too michael bay-like.

South London.
