Ryder too soft

It would be nice to have the airlock option. Of course, there should be serious consequences. Nervous crew, lol. Outraged bosses. Ryder leaving the Nexus and joining Cerberus....uh....I mean the outcasts..........

On the other hand, allowing the team to get away with doing end-runs behind your back should also have consequences. Lack of respect, from the crew. Aliens not taking you seriously, as they lose confidence in your leadership. Lack of support from the Nexus, as they shift focus to the other pathfinders.........

So many possibilities - so little time.

At least Bioware can't complain about lack of ideas..........

You basically say, "I feel that you're angry.  And that's OK".  I don't call that an appropriate response to some ass clown on my team giving away sensitive data.  Or when Peebee puts the whole team at risk by launching the escape pod.  The scene when they crash land reminded me of a shitty sitcom with a laugh track. 

I do not need a badass either, unfortunately Ryder is the CO of a ship, the commander of a crew, the pathfinder everyone relies on. This means, s/he has to be a leader to some degree. Ryder is not. And I would not mind starting as an average joe and grow to be one during the course of the game. Ryder is not. Maybe this is just another continuity problem BW forgot about, but Peebees loyalty comes so late, any hint of "growth" is blown out the window when Peebee releases the escape pod, we can be mad at ther, but 5min later during the "too friendly banter" on the surface it is already forgotten and back on the Tempest it is as if it never happened. It just does not work.

There is a big difference between what Ryder is and what Ryder has to be, MUST be, in this setting. It is like the tone of the game, this lighthearted tone does not fit the setting. It is easy as that. During my military service, well lets just say, noone would follow Ryder, not into combat and noone would trust Ryder they can solve anything. And in civilian matters? Ryder would never be entrusted to be head of a department, not even speaking about being boss of a big company.

My friend, sometimes when i read what people have in their minds - here on BSN and in some other places, i absolutely agree that ME community could easily write MUCH BETTER, if not amazing story for next ME game. Some people are just full of great ideas - such a shame that no one of them is working at BioWare ! Seriously, i will even spare my free time if i could just help them - anyway i can - to make things better. BioWare is saying for years "WE ARE LISTENING"... no, you don't. If you will, Andromeda will be easily game of the year 2017.
So many discussions about Andromeda in the recent years - hundreds of pages, dozen of topics - did community ever ask to remove companion control, or companion customization ? did we ever ask for another version of Mako without a gun ? did we ever ask for big, empty planets ? NO. If they will listen, they will know what we wanted.
Sad, that there is such a bad communication in between. And at the end it's same story again - apologies, promises that next time they get better, and la la la...

Cora is not a Pathfinder. Ryder is. It's up to him. Nexus security will be more than happy to get rid of Tann. They will be probably very helpful with finding shuttle for him.
As i said - it's about people's life - there is no time for personal favors or political games - you don't wanna help ? Out, and i will find someone to replace you.

Yah, but did someone pull out stunts similar to Peebee, or Liam? I would say no, but can not remember everything, so you are free to correct me. I remember a scene where Miranda decided something over our head and received quite the harsh pep talk from my paragon Shepard, she never did it again, I wonder what would happen, if she did it again. The problem here is, BW games are all about player decisions but here, we are forced to walk a line, drawed by BW.

So lets assume we can not kick her out as we "need" an expert at "x" and there is noone else available, fine, but let me, at least, be mad at her. This whole situation is a mess, Ryder is all laughs and giggles till the "landing" where Ryder is asked if mad, then we can be realy realy upset.... so from giglle to upset in a matter of seconds... and then the banter on the planet? Way too friendly, all things considered my Ryder was just very upset. Even better, I had Cora and the other time Drack with me, and they are quite friendly too... judging by their characters depicted throughout the game... they would be quite upset as well. So and when the mission is done, Ryder and Peebee are just best friends...  the only way to avoid this, is not to make Peebees loyalty mission.

Perhaps it can all be boiled down to feeling restricted in Ryder's dialogue choices. I never felt that way in ME1-3. As Ryder - since it was my first play-through (while having the tone symbols disabled), I chose the options, which I would have chosen in RL. 

In most cases, I was only given two choices. In most cases, I could see little difference between them. And in too many cases, neither choice came close to reflecting what I would have wished to have said.

Reading the posts from people who have played Andromeda twice, they say that choosing option B made no difference to the characters development. This tells me there is little replay-value, compared to the Trilogy. I like exploring, but I have little interest in hack'n'slash. I've enjoyed the Mass Effect trilogy for it's role-playing and character interaction. Plus all the many magic moments. For example Samantha Traynor's sonic toothbrush manages to elicit a chuckle every-time she pulls it out. It's the little things....

I can honestly say that I missed such moments in Andromeda. It's not a bad game, as some I have attempted to play. It's just - mundane. And the first Bioware game I regretted paying full price for. I'll be crucified for this - but I even enjoyed Dragon Age 2 more than Andromeda..........

Just hoping that Bioware is taking note. Andromeda can still be great. I'd hate to see the Mass Effect series come to a miserable end.

Then again - all good things must end eventually.

Ok fine kick him out...no one will do that, you know why? Because they haven't done it.  No one lifted a finger to stop him or remove him from power, for fourteen months they have just been sitting there, doing nothing.  Why? Because Tann is their political leader.  They may not like him, how many of us IRL like our political leaders? But for the moment anyways they are stuck with him.  And in this situation if Ryder were to act, however Ryder would act to remove Tann from power, they'd be laughed at, and then they would be exiled because no one would back them.

Actually - the whole issue can be simplified further:

I miss Shepard - despite numerous play-throughs, I am not bored with him/her.

Once I finished Andromeda, I'd had enough of Ryder already. I have no desire to see what happens to him next. It wouldn't bother me at all, if he was dropped from MEA2

I miss Shepard.

Says it all..........
