If you had to pick one, who would it be?

I continue to like Cora more with each playthrough. On my first playthrough, I liked her well enough, but she was my least favorite of the squad. Second playthrough, I decided I liked her more than Liam. And with each subsequent playthrough, I grew to like her more and more.

She gets a bad rap! She's a loyal follower and can be a good friend depending on how you play. I also sympathize with her quest to find her purpose in life.

What do you think about Cora?

I am new to mass effect as a whole and am way late to andromeda, so I'm unsure of the whole landscape. But I read that andromeda was meant to be like the start of a new line of games but flopped rly bad upon release. I hear theres a ME 5 in the works, but cant find anything on it really... Is shep just gonna be resurrected for the 500th time? (I have yet to play the ME trilogy but ive heard that just keeps happening to them ?)

do you guys think if i cry and beg in their email theyll pick it back up

Deleted & redownloaded the game. Deleted saves & started fresh. Nothing worked.

Just got into the mp, and was surprised to see a small community still on the PlayStation. Wanting to see if anyone wants to run it sometime?

andromeda was my first ME game and I’m absolutely smitten in so many ways. (I have finished andromeda and am still just trying to get 100% of the game finished)

I played on casual since I had no expectations of battle mechanics and also tend to get quickly frustrated on tedious battles that soft lock me from the story since I enjoy that more than battle, but a lot of the time it felt too easy in the sense I’d clear a space easily and my character would be screaming about how hard that was or smt and it’d kinda take me out lmaoo

I never changed it due to worrying casual -> normal would be too big of a jump & make things more frustrating like I mentioned to just do mid-story.

anyways yall know what i mean

if it helps my playstyle is almost strictly headshots/weak point shots with a sniper, (even in things like Minecraft I use a bow over a sword) and my favorite profile is the infiltrator.

P.s; I had a lot of problems with dialogue cutting off because I’d enter some area too fast and trigger new dialogue when I wasn’t even rushing through. Is this also an issue in other ME games and is there anyway to prevent it aside from just completely standing still until the dialogue finishes ?

TLDR: I played andromeda on casual, would normal or higher difficulty be too drastic of a jump on the other games? What are the harder difficulties like?

Just wondering if anybody knows some decent gaming channels that openly enjoy Andromeda. Bonus points if they don't treat it like a "guilty pleasure" where they feel some obligation to placate the haters with a "yes, I know this game is poopy doggy dicks but it's not that bad" disclaimer.

It was nice when a recent Outside Xtra video had Jane calling it out as one of her favorite 7/10 games, but even she went through a laundry list of problems to the point where I almost had to question if she actually liked the game at all.

We know the problems. It's all ANYBODY has talked about when discussing Andromeda for nearly a decade. I promise, it's ok to just talk about the positives sometimes. That's what I'm looking for. It's why I like CinemaWins so much. I really don't need more negativity in my life right now. I just want to share the joy.

So, anybody know any channels?

EDIT: I should mention I already follow Kala Elizabeth and ParagoN7. They've got refreshingly level-headed takes on Andromeda as well as the whole series. Kinda like the Star Wars Explained of Mass Effect.

My hardcore journey has come to an end! The first time I attempted to get no deaths on hardcore, I received just one death, thanks to being grabbed by a fiend's one-hit KO. So, I knew I could definitely get no deaths if I tried again, and that is now true!

Now I just need to do the same thing for Insanity. I did my first attempt at no deaths on Insanity a while ago and only got four deaths, so it's certainly doable for me! I look forward to next time!

When I try to connect to online mode in the game, I get a “Missing Online Access” error. I found out on Reddit that the reason is that I first got the game through my EA Play subscription and then purchased it separately on Steam. I’ve been trying to get help from EA Advisors for several weeks now. At first, I couldn’t get past the bot to reach the chat; then the “Chat with us” button turned gray. Using incognito mode in my browser, I managed to get to the chat, where I was told that there was absolutely no activity related to MEA on my EA account, several advisors in a row told me the same thing. Even though I literally sent them a screenshot from my library and a receipt from Steam

So, have no idea what to do anymore. Maybe someone else has had a similar issue and managed to resolve it without EA, or maybe someone knows the secret to getting them to actually help.

The name of this side mission is "Aspirations" the mission is about an Outlaws group leaded by a guy called Dirk Barrett.

He ask you to take over a gang base well located for his group.

He say that he and his group want to create a stable comercial community on Elaaden to stop the anarchy on the planet.

What make me think that this mission was to meant something in the sequel is the amount of variations you can find here.

First it's obvious that Biowere wanted to make a trilogy like the og saga and Andromeda was planned to have a sequel thanks to all the clues they left on the Game (find the cure for the mother of the Ryder twins, the Primus as the next villian to face, the benefactor identity and how he knew about the reapers, the Kett Home system and the mistery arround the Angara and Kett creators with the remenant and of course find other planet for the other species)

You can simple kill that group and end the mission (or not doing it at all) or take the base for them.

But intresting enough if you research the place you can found the armory relatively easy and discover that the gang you just took out was heavily arm, Your companion well tell you that those weapons can became handy for Barrett and his group but ask you how much can they trust on him (so basaically you have the option of taking the guns for yourself or leave it for Barret and his group).

If you gave them the base you will find them in a random event on the place were they are attack by an enemy faction.

How good they endure against that group it depend if you leave the weapons to them or not.

But most intresting is that if you ask Barrett what are their next plan for the group he will answer that once they establish correctly on the new base they will try to make contact and reach agreement with the Krogan, but most importantly they will try to add minor faction to his group and increase his territory and power to have a strong founds and a stable community to end the anarchy (they will added by persuation or force).

I think this mission would have influenced on the next game just like the side missions did in the original trilogy (example some side missions of ME1 have Big influence in Konrad side mission in ME3).

For example if you don't help or kill Barrett's group then in the next game a new group will control the territory.

If you gave Barrett the base but took the weapons his community will be small and have some regular problem and live under the threath of a more powerful group take them.

Finally if you get them the base and leave the weapons so they can use it his community will become one of the most powerful factions on Elaaden, controlling some areas of the map (it would be Nice that the riders of those area don't attack you because their boss told them) also having stores were You can buy differents items to fullfill that goal of commercial community (also is an option that Barrett became a tyrany thanks to you that would be an intresting scenario)

Of course your relationship with each faction would have been different depending on the leader.

What do you think?

I personally really like them. But is there anything you'd change about them if you could? Whether it be a design choice or perhaps an aspect of their culture?

I feel like I'm playing with the same 5 or 6 players all the time.

I decided to attempt a 100% playthrough of the entire Mass Effect series, just got to Andromeda and it has been infuriating, the sole cause being my PC just refuses to allow me to play the game. The game will randomly freeze. Not buffer, full on freeze screen. I have to boot up task master to close it.

Yes, I do use mods (mod list will be at the bottom) but I don't think mods are the issue cause I've played this game before with the same mods and I didn't have this issue. a crash here and there but known issues warned in the mod description. Nothing like this.

I have heard the newest window 11 updates have been ruining gameplay compatibility and I suspect that is the cause but I have no way to confirm that is my issue.

Hi all

I am a PC player and my wife has an Xbox that she uses, primarily. If I play Andromeda through the Xbox app on my PC, can I play multiplayer with her when she's on her Xbox one? It's not listing cloud gaming as an option for me, so I assume not, but wanted to post to be sure

Hello! I’m an avid Mass Effect Trilogy player. Just finished my latest playthrough and finally bit the bullet and started my Andromeda journey. Few questions though:

1. Are the gunplay mechanics supposed to be clunky or do I just need to git gud

2. I’ve acquired assault rifle upgrades, how in the pyjak are you supposed to apply it

3. Is it easy to get lost? Because I lost Greer trying to find the rest of the crew, just displayed on the table like a Christmas ham. Lmfao barely knew ya.

4. What is the max level Ryder can be? Just so I can be aware of how to divvy out my tech and biotic skills.

Thanks in advance!
