Unpopular Opinions?

Calix, the leader of the mutineers, wanted a democracy and to essentially remove Tann.   Basically a coup. The whole being sent to cryo thing is not the exact impetus behind the uprising.  Because when Tann asks for volunteers to be put back in cryo for the first time,  no one is outraged by it nor by the implication of a scarcity of food.

Calix  has no idea of the Initiative's plan to force the majority of people back into cryo.  It just so happens that just as Calix is gearing up for the revolt (after he and the mutineers steal weapons from the armory) that Addison annouces the offical (forced)  callback to cryo. The cryostatis call is merely one of  many reasons. It only looks like to Tann and Addison that the revolt was a direct retort to that.



The Nexus was a clusterfuck and Murphy's Law was bound to be applied.



Sloane accepts her exiling, though. Really she was more upset about the uprising itself than being exiled. She found Tann's reaction  to the uprising unjust (siccing the Krogan).

Liam is not a bad character.

I just realized that I am in the minority in respect to loving it that SAM never shuts up. I like his voice and sci-fi concept. I also like scanning both the planets and in the quests.

I'm sure there are more, but a couple off the top of my head:

- Cora isn't any more one-dimensional and monothematic (asari commando) than the rest of the companions. They all fit a stereotype and a have a "main theme" they stick to most of the time. But they're fine. Except for Liam. Fuck Liam.

- I'm not a fan of crafting and wish they went back to ME2's system of fewer, but different and more or less balanced weapons.

A few more:

- Reyes Vidal comes across as a rather lousy romancer. That, or he's just not interested in Ryder, as you can basically throw yourself at him and he still isn't that charming and appears indifferent.

- Reyes asks one of the stupidest questions in the game. At Sloane's party, he actually asks if Heleus is everything Ryder hoped it would be. Heleus is a nightmare. They left a relatively stable galaxy with no knowledge of reapers to reach one where the native species either distrust or want to kill you, many of your own people have turned into thugs and murderers, arks are missing, many are dead or exiled, there's a near-reaper equivalent enemy who wants nothing but your utter destruction, there's a galaxy-wide energy phenomenon that has turned traveling into maneuvering a minefield, and all the viable worlds have turned out to be a bust.

- Suvi's accent is annoying, and I don't like her for lying about being gay.

- Sloane Kelly isn't near as bad as many make her out to be. She takes a lawless, Kett-run, Angara-enslaved port and turns it into a society. Due to lack of resources and space, this includes what real first world inhabitants might consider to be "barbaric" practices such as corporal punishment. And "protection fees" are what we call taxes. Lastly, despite a bounty being on her head by the Initiative, she's willing to help you against the Kett and ensures no one harasses you while visiting.

- Liam Kosta isn't boring; especially compared to Cora, Lexi, and Suvi.

- Kesh is a racist. Ex: If you choose a salarian ambassador.

Not unpopular per se, but I didn't even notice the asari clones or give much thought to Morda's slap fight or "my face is tired" until I went online to discuss the game after completing it. I did miss out though on Addison's wacky facial animations since I bought the game after patch 1.05.

Ah, you didn't read Uprising. With the help of krogan woman as engineer and the rest of her clan as workers. Yep, Nexus was built by krogans, someone else might have gotten it wrong.

As it's been said, Liam is not a bad character (and neither is Jacob).


And Liam is nowhere near as boring as the most boring ME character I felt was. At least Liam I felt was somewhat interesting.

Does the series lore matter?  We already know the Krogan are a very intelligent species.  Okeer, for a prime example.  We also know not all Krogan are alike.. they aren't all warriors.  Charr on Illium reciting poetry to his love as an example.  The Krogan were once known for their wonders of architecture and art before they developed nuclear weapons and a war started on Tuchanka.  The Krogan were then thought to be a brutish race known for their strength and warrior prowess.  Except not every single Krogan is exactly alike, and that's not what their entire race is about.

So yeah it does matter.

I always liked Krogans. But surprisingly I feel tired with them in Andromeda and I'm not even sure why. I'd really prefer if we had Drell or Volus or other race instead of them.
Save

Well, it wouldn't be, except for many still claiming Liam is the new Jacob, which is a shame, because both are good characters

I agree with you about Vetra. I love her character, but there were times I felt she was just there as well. That's the problem I had with Andromeda - it was who am I going to take as my third squadmate? None of them really just...grabbed me. I took Vetra and Drack the most to fill that third slot though, but yeah....this crew didn't really grab me. Not that they're not good, just that....I felt a lot of them weren't memorable.

As for Cora, I've said this in her appreciation thread - I get the criticism about how all she talks about is being a Huntress....unless you actually develop a relationship with her. You really see that there's more to her than just being a Huntress; she actually has depth and personality.
