Don't let the "keep exploring" message in that pop-up fool you either, you can't complete virtually any of the other side poo poo in your list either. You're literally done at that point, apart from maybe talking to NPCs again if you haven't yet.

Beautiful. I remember there being romance scenes on Youtube with Shep looking a bit like that, but I can't find them :(

For some reason I find hosed up Shep romances really funny in particular.

What is the point of no return on the trial?
There isn't one.

There's a point you can't progress beyond (just after you cross the bridge to the island marked by the 3 beams from the monoliths) but you can still do other things until the time runs out. Lots of Eos is still inaccessible at that point though.

I feel like I'm getting really angry and dickish here, so I'mma try and put this calmly.

I find it strange that people get lovely and insulting about somebody else's choice of entertainment. Everybody has dumb cheesy poo poo they enjoy. Mass Effect is dumb cheesy poo poo, and the Witcher is dumb cheesy poo poo. It's like slapfighting over Seagal vs Van Damme. It feels like Witcher fans walk into every single thread and go "YEAH WELL THE WITCHER IS BETTER" to everything, and it's exhausting. Big Dumb Entertainment is supposed to be fun, and constant slapfights aren't fun.

I realise, in gettin mad about people gettin mad about video games, I got mad about video games. That's not the poo poo I want to be doing. I'm gonna chill, and let's move on.

Remnant weapons supposedly work in the same manner as the ME1 "what's ammo?" weapons.
This sounds promising. So let's hope it's not like Geth weapons in previous games where they were few in number and/or quickly outclassed by your other options.

Engineer is the least-played class in the franchise and I will never understand why. Incinerate, Overload, and a good gun are all you need.

I prefer Sentinel though because I want both kinds of space magic. I'm the dumbass who used to make Cleric/Mages in Baldur's Gate.
I like the concept of Sentinel, but even though they have honestly been improving it I've got a permanent dislike of the class from it's ME1 class implementation.

"Let's see... No weapon skills. No Armor skills... Nope. Hey Kaiden, what was your class again? Sentinel? I see. Why? Oh, no reason...."

Re the end of the First Murderer mission: does Bioware not know that attempted murder is still a serious crime?

Attempted Murder AND tampering of evidence! But with the lack of options you have LET HIM GO and EXILE. No kind of making sure there are punishments for attempted murder or less serious crimes, just punish him for something he technically didn't do or let him go despite the poo poo he pulled. Because Salarian couldn't be bothered to care and Ryder couldn't think of any more options other than 2.

I'm going to be the boring rear end in a top hat that plays Engineer style again because as amazing as Biotic toys are, my true loves are breaking shields and lighting people on fire.

So for all the game's hard to deny rough edges, at the very least it seems I'll be able to maybe pull off "Engineer who also has biotic lift".

While wistfully wishing for my ME1 doomsday handgun of infinite ammo. The huge pistols in ME2/3 were fun when they lasted, but even if your armor was comprised entirely of ammo fanny packs so you had MAYBE 40 ammo (up from 20 something) that didn't help with getting ammo pickups of +3 tops, fighting enemies who needed more than three headshots to kill.

Considering the original teaser trailer involved dramatically pulling a handgun and walking towards the camera, I'm perhaps naively optimistic that the space cowboy game will let me have an emphasis on gunslinging. What a thought :v:

I think Engineer is a hell of a lot cooler than in ME3 now though so it's not boring. I mean, you get to disappear and throw freezebeams and flamethrowers and poo poo now.

SAM was, in fact, largely funded by the Microsoft Corporation to serve as the new logic profile for the loved, admired, and handsome Clippy. SAM will helpfully chime in to let you know of important events including but not limited to:
    * Environmental hazards that don't affect you
    * Mining areas because you're too stupid to interact with the new planet bar code scanner installed on the Nomad
    * When you have a migraine due to partying too hard
    * When you find an 8GB stick of RAM lying around to enable further SAM instances
    * Illegal activities you should totally be part of

Hey remember in Mass Effect 1 when you meet a reaper, maybe Sovereign, over holo link and he(?) says that you couldn't possibly understand what the Reapers are doing because you're only a human and it's too enlightened and complex?

Then in the space of five years Bioware have to figure out what that insanely deep and complex thing is and it turns out the Reapers want to kill everyone so everyone doesn't kill everyone?

Well that was stupid but I still enjoyed flying the Normandy around and leading away parties and punching reporters and hanging up on dignitaries.

Well if the actions of the Quarian fleets during ME3 told me anything, it's that the people with power in their culture aren't willing to abandon their stolen home world. I feel like pushing for a colonizing generation ship before reclaiming their home would have been spun politically to be seen as treason to take valuable supplies and skilled people necessary to rebuild Rannoch.
There's also some planet description from ME2(?) that says the Quarians at one point were prepared to give up on Rannoch and their nomadic existence, and put all their efforts into colonizing this particular barren world, but the Council decided they hadn't filled out their space construction forms properly and threatened to orbitally bombard their civilians if they didn't gently caress off back into space right away, so they're probably a little leery of similar ventures.
