Ohh, almost forgot. Seven Zettabytes In my twitter-feed there was a player who said that they had a relative with motion sickness who could play the trial at least. Keeping fingers crossed. AllyCatAttack Have you gotten around to Tuchanka on your renegade PT yet? Thinking about Mordin and got curious I shot PadoK Wiks in ME3, and it was a good thing I had paper tissues nearby. But I just couldn't leave the Galaxy with Wreav in charge of a krogan uprising. That was a good PT. Difficult but good. :sob: I did go through with the renegade option on Tuchanka and it was awful! I played almost entirely renegade through (a few paragon answers to some of the crew mates, but renegade for everything else) this play through and I found a lot of the results really upsetting. I think Tuchanka was the most painful of them all though. Actually, I didn't know that Miranda can die either and she just died on me last night during the Sanctuary mission, that was really shocking. I typically play good/paragon in all RPG's so this has been quite a switch up for me. I think the fact that Bioware creates some wonderful characters, to have the option to betray or hurt them, makes it really difficult. masseffectfanforlife I understand where you're coming from and that's one of the wonderful, fantastic things about staying spoiler-free. In my experience, avoiding hate has been better for me. The negativity can stick and weigh me down and then I'm just miserable and raging over something that isn't worth the energy, so I ignore it and am happier for it. Eventually I'm able to some of it. So try to shake it off, don't let it leech you, because your happiness is more important than internet (perhaps bitter) trolling. "Misery loves company" as the saying goes, so try to remember/focus on your love of the series and excitement of this new frontier, not the haters. If that's not enough, here's a funny pony gif: This pony gif makes me extremely happy

In terms of keeping this thread spoiler free, I think it would love if we can keep it that way as long as possible, but understand if that's not feasible. I know for me personally, it will probably take me at least a month to finish this game. I am ok if people post pictures of characters or descriptions, but I'm just fearful that I'll be spoiled by major plot points or the ending, like I was for DA:I. I personally plan on still visiting here and posting and I will continue to spoiler tag things that I think might need it, so I hope that's not overkill. I have really enjoyed this thread and the people in it so thank you to everyone here!
On a side note; my alarm went off this morning and I had these lyrics stuck in my head. I couldn't quite place why I was singing this song first thing in the morning. After hitting the snooze button and humming it to myself, it dawned on me that there actually was a reason that One Day More from Les Miserables was stuck in my head. I haven't heard that song in years so I guess I'm a little excited for tomorrow

I swear I remember that pony from an advert on TV, am I going made or am I right? Here it is, one of the few that I really like I took a peak at a companion thread over in the companions- and romance-part of the forum. There is someone who has perhaps caught my attention thought that it might be time to start looking around a little and talk to the rest of the people on the forum a bit more. They were discussing datamined lines from the game, with spoilertags so that was nice of them. I will just stay here. Guess that there is no halfway-house available one can check into so it is either nada over here or all-the-stuff out there. Well, that was a close one so no more companion-threads for me. So glad that they were kind enough to use spoiler-tags.

It was nice with a bit of a stroll around the Andromeda General Discussion before the first release day. I do think I'm probably going to extend my vacation from most of the forums a little bit longer than initially planned. It seems the old trend is going to repeat itself and I don't care to sit through the storm so I'll come back when the weather has settled again. I should have time for a second playthrough then. Just three days more. Ohhh, I can't wait to continue!

General:Just a quick 'heads-up', with the game now actually being played (VPN from Korea), It's becoming increasingly impractical to protect this thread from the mildest spoilers (such as character avatars) and other mild spoilers (simply because these things have been in the community consciousness for months and are pervasive) (kindly) We did our best up to now, but If that is problematic at this stage, then I'm sorry it really is time to go dark from the internet. Thanks for the spoiler-free ride, and enjoy the game.

During my lunch tomorrow, I will be driving to Best Buy to pick up the game. Then tomorrow afternoon, I hope to have a solid 5 hours with the game. After that, I have a busy week and may not be back to the game until Sunday.

Well, my copy of Mass Effect: Andromeda is ready to go. The presets were automatically set to high, which is nice. I play with the settings, maybe not, because high, and even medium look great. But first...sleep.

I plan to avoid the MEA forums until I've finished the story, so it's not ruined. Maybe longer after that, if there are other whatnots I'd rather discover on my own. I figure I might pop in here and check this thread, maybe post, but I'll have to wait and see. I don't really expect to be doing anything but playing and I don't know how long it will take. I might not be able to start tomorrow today, but hopefully Wednesday -- and even then who knows how much of that time will be spent in the CC. It has been nice hiding out here with you all, hyping, peeking and chatting. It's been quite a cozy place without pessimistic drama. And thanks SofaJockey for being awesome. Happy playing, whenever that might be!

Well, I got to play the game last night thanks to being able to convince Origin I'm from Singapore instead of Britain, and so far I'm enjoying it a lot.
Hopefully we'll keep this thread reasonably safe for at least a while longer as I'm far from the point I'd trust the rest of the forums not to spoil stuff for me (not to mention wanting to avoid the inevitable hate that seems to accompany every Bioware release...).

I plan on starting at 5pm today and expect to play all the way to 10pm tonight. I plan on spending 60-90 min in CC which should give me a good 4 hrs or 3 1/2 hours of gameplay time which is fine. Unlike past Bioware games where I have the urge to move fast because I want to experience the story, with MEA I will take things slow and expereince every tidbit I can. Today is just an introductory experience and I most likely wont hack at it again until Sunday where I can play for an extended period.

SofaJockey Thanks for everything you and the other mods did for this thread, it's much appreciated! I have the game installed but haven't had a chance to play yet due to staying up most of last night and this morning with a teething 1 year old plus that whole work thing today. I have a feeling it's going to be a long day at work for me, knowing that it's at home, waiting, beckoning to me...I probably won't be able to get too much of the game in until this weekend but I'm still looking forward to play a bit tonight.

I'm thinking of re-titling the thread and keeping it open longer because of what SpiritVanguard said: A place folk can come for a little pleasant conversation with no spoilers and no drama. Possible alternative thread titles: - Little thread of Calm (no dramas or spoilers)
- BSN chill zone (no dramas or spoilers)
- other titles I'm not clever enough to come up with... ?

Ooo, I like both of those and I appreciate the (no drama no spoilers) tag as well. I have an idea but it's probably too long "BSN Zen thread; for when you just need some space (no drama no spoilers)" Eh? Get it? Space? Eh? *cough* I'll, um, I'll see myself out...

Just got done playing an hour of the game. Did a last minute preorder last night. I'm a Mass Effect virgin so its going to take me a while to get used to these character controls and what not.
