i kinda preferred Addison with the heavy makeup. Suited her snooty nature.

Not seeing a huge difference with Suvi though.

But hopefully this update didn't mess up my custom Ryder

Never forget the ending so bad that it destroyed an entire setting...

At least we got Andromeda because of it! :D................................ the perfect game with no story, lore, gameplay or graphical flaws. In fact the way it erases over already established lore actually enhances the experience.

Honestly I've been reading through a forum about ME:A and omg it's so obvious that this game was doomed with some of this pandering terrible dialogue and the people that worked on it.

@Crazy_Chin_Guy and I saw screenshots of the trans character scene and wow it really is just "What brought yo..." "My job was shit and I'm trans" ... Thanks bioware, I wouldn't want them to be organic or natural it's good that it's nothing more than exposition... hell even "sjws" aren't happy with how lazy this is written.

Also last thing but why is the romance dialogue that I've seen "rwar means I love you in dinosaur" level cringe?

I'm enjoying the game. The thing about this game is... The quests sometimes feel like work, rather than things you want to play. They are actually important for the narrative, but not engaging or fun, which makes it dull sometimes. But it's nowhere near as bad as people say it is...

And you know what, people aren't gonna like me for it, but, I have to say it. We got Mass Effect Andromeda in the shape it is in terms of writing because of the overhyping of ME2 and the ME3 Citadel DLC...

I actually agree with this to a point, They pretty much drove themselves into a wall with they're writing to the point that they had to go to a different galaxy to get away from it.

The last 5 minutes of ME3 managed to destroy the whole galaxy. I liked ME2 - ME3 but the ending just really wasn't done well.

Sorry... I have to correct that statement. I meant Citadel DLC, not Catalyst DLC. The Citadel DLC was great, because of the light tone and humor, but you cannot build a 40+ hour game based on that tone. It becomes boring.

3 hours into the game, just finished the first planet, and... I still can't get over the faces. Everyone's face either looks like it's covered in crater-sized pores or dipped in oil, and Cora's had the same bug eyed, cracked out expression the entire time.

How does something like this even happen?

I heard it was outsourced to cheap Chinese labor, which would make sense since that's essentially what happend with FFX HD and Yuna looks lobotomized in that version compared to the PS2 game above.

never go for default in a Bioware game haha.

the new update in the game for the eyes really worked out well for my Ryder, imo.

^still no fixes to making MP worth playing though.


Shame that the producer of the series basically made a statement saying "We aren't going to balance the game because we have jetpacks. JETPACKS, GAIZ."

Thank god @ the email fix.

"Pathfinder you have a new email"

"Pathfinder you have a new email"

"Pathfinder you have a new email"

*checks* "the brothers mccoy-" *exits email menu*

Nexus level increase is good too since you couldn't originally get all the perks.

Edit- the email thing is NOT fixed lol but I can see a noticeable difference in the hair, it looks a lot better

They definitely matter.

And well, if you liked Andromeda, let's just say the story of the trilogy will blow you away in comparison.
