nessin posted:On the other hand you don't know how many survive on the Ark and you know the Krogan are safe and here. It makes sense to do what you did and while Drack's response is understandable it is way over the top. I was surprised by just how harshly Drack reacted given he'd been pretty even-tempered up until that point. I just made the decision because it seemed like at that point if I didn't we weren't going to have any of the original Pathfinders around and it seemed like we should try to keep one of them. But with that said, at least in my playthrough, it seems like Drack got over it pretty quick because I did the Krogan stuff next and went out for drinks with him.

I'm running a PAW 5 in my game and it's working pretty well. Pinpoint accurate at any range, limitless ammo as long as you don't hold the button down too long, and keeps me at 100% recharge while I do the majority of my damage with tech powers. That's all I ask of a gun as an engineer and the PAW does fine.

Glenn Quebec posted:I feel like everytime I try and make a gun a laser that isn't remnant it comes out like poo poo and does poo poo damage That's not an accident, the Laser Beam augment is really hosed somehow. Like ALL laser weapons have very low damage output (to compensate for perfect accuracy and high fire rate, I guess, still seems like a bad tradeoff), but guns not designed for it that have laser beam attached have their DPS obliterated. I made two Hurricanes, one with Laser and one without, and the one with laser does 1/5th the damage of the other, while using the same amount of finite ammo.

I'm almost willing to bet someone else has had this bug happen and mentioned it already, but... I just missed a platform in one of those vault jumping puzzles and it respawned me back on the ledge, but this time in the Nomad. Inside the vault. It's sorta great, but I can't do anything with it because of aforementioned platforms and small areas, etc.

I do hope Drack stays in the party in the likely event we get a sequel. He is the best Krogan. Wrex is just Canderous and Grunt I have no super strong opinions on. Drack is #1 Krogan.

doingitwrong posted:I know the thread's decided that the writing in ME:A is bad and I know it's uncool to have feelings about pixels, but goddamn Hunting the Archon messed me up. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is what the Reapers should've been. It's what they almost were, in ME2; seemingly harvesting the most strongest genetics bits and pieces from the strongest race of the cycle to build on their own power and continue their own race. The narrative theme then becomes, well, the obvious and pedestrian theme of "You're forcefully imposing your will and homogeneity on our diverse cultures, but the unlikely unity of our diversity and individuality will defeat you in the end!" but the reason it's so obvious and pedestrian is that it totally works and works great. ME3 almost got there but then went so goddamn off-kilter it basically nuked the entire franchise from orbit. ME:A, however, steers the ship back on course and delivers on those goods.

Why take Krogans???? The Krogans wanted a new start and to not be violent thugs. They were not happy about being drafted to put down the mutiny, especially when they got screwed out of the promise of getting a political voice on the Nexus afterwards. That's why they left and settled New Tuchanka. DancingShade posted:We must be hearing different things because when Liam says "you know it" I feel like he's about to crack up after holding a straight face and/or light up. The problem is that's the only emotion he has. I had no idea what the gently caress he was doing with Jaal aside from what seemed like an odd casual conversation between them until he explained it.

Does the FOV slider on PC only change non-weapons vision or am I missing something that should also let me change that? Because I like the wide FOV for exploring but suddenly going tunnel vision is a little weird when I need to start shooting.

One team can easily do a day's tier by itself if you space them out correctly. So I guess I'm gonna reduce their growth even more by grabbing some bronzes for myself.

I'm pretty sure you can get old augs back if you break the old item. Can't confirm because you can't break items you have equipped. Last time I played I was on that one planet at a research bay in non combat mode and wanted to upgrade my sword, but there was no way to swap it out or change loadout without blasting off in the ship so I just turned the game off

So one area where this suffers in comparison to the trilogy is in scanning planets. In every system in ME/2/3 at least one planet in each system would have some cool fluffy story, like the one that's a Jupiter Brain or the one that has weird coffins floating in the atmosphere. I haven't come across one planet in ME:A with a similarly compelling backstory although this is likely in part due to most of the planets being unexplored or barely explored. Still, it's something I missed
