    As fine as I am with not being able to kit out my squadmates, I really wish I could give Drack a beefed up Krogan Hammer and just watch him work

    I have to admit, I do miss changing out my squad's guns.

    Vetra should get a tarantula Revenant.

    Tried a couple of multiplayer matches so far, bronze only and it's taking some get using to. Managed an extraction against the Kett, but they are very tough (especially if you have no idea what creature can do what.) Remnants and Outlaws , I have extracted every time so far (and this was with random pubs.)

    Ascendants are hard in multi

    when you are the last guy alive

    and you have only a Widow.

    Looking at multi screenshots

    Do krogan look smaller than in previous games or did I make them bigger in my memory?

    If you're on your own, take out everything except the Ascendant first, then you get some space between you and it

    A Widow takes out the orb in one hit, and it stands still when it's targeting you

    You have time to reload and get one shot off before it gets its shields back up

    A Widow headshot takes around half it's life I think

    I think 4 different times now an objective has popped up, I have gone to it only to find that both of the enemies who do instakills for the Kett are sitting right on the point.

    Thoughts on settling planets, just past Eos
    I'm a little worried if we're only going to be settling planets that have been modified by vaults
    What if they go to shit again?

    Our priority should be looking for a planet that doesn't need vaults to function

    Don't @ me if you've got spoilers from further in the story :P

    I think I've only failed once or twice on bronze in 20+ games, though a lot of partial extractions

    I'd definitely say Kett are the hardest

    Also, the "devices" money wave is a lot harder than the rest
    At least doing it well
    Even when I feel like we've done it reasonably fast, we only get two stars
    Comparable effort seems to get three stars on every other wave

    I'm at about the same place as you
    My impression at this point is that the non-vault planets aren't viable, and it's only the vaulted planets that we believe are viable.

    Either that, or the non-vaulted viable planets probably already have intelligent life on it that we don't want to eradicate for our space.

    What I took from it was that the initiative is so starved for resources, they're basically taking what they can get. It'd take a lot longer to scan for, plot routes for, and try to settle these worlds that we have no data on. It's why you're just building outposts focused on research and gathering resources. The top priority now is to finish building the nexus and unfreeze everyone

    Devices for the final objective wave has always sucked. Assassination is usually the easiest.

    I have yet to get a gold rating on devices while I have multiple times on the others. The time limit does seem to need to be eased a bit.

    I've only had a chance to do one multi mission so far, and it was the Kett and we got slaughtered on a device wave. Fiends, ascendants, big glowy fuckers... shredded us.

    So it seems that 6 hours just kind of disappeared into this game and I've only just got the ship....it's pretty good. I want to take a picture of my Sarah but Origin doesn't have a screenshot key for some reason which is terrible because she's great and my Dad Ryder is the most handsome man who ever handsomed.

    There is a very good chance that I'm going to try to romance Vetra, she's not given met he brush off yet

    So returning to Eos is pretty cool. Completely optional but there's a lot of great content in there, even in the make work tasks. Highly recommend.

    This games open world system is so much better than Inquisition. I loooove it.

    I saw that, and decided I'd probably never craft it. For some reason wearing N7 armor when you're not one yourself feels super disrespectful, especially after hearing Shepard talk about it to Vega in ME3

    Kinda weird they even let you considering that even the codex talks about how hard it is to get. Though there is no Alliance in the new galaxy.

    It's on the Pathfinder armor too, which I only realized after crafting it. Probably gonna find a replacement pretty quickly.

    Both Ryders probably would have qualified for the N7 listing at some point if Ryder Sr.'s AI research hadn't obliterated their Alliance careers. Plus, first thing you do as soon as you arrive in Andromeda after 600 years is fight a hostile alien race with technology and tactics no Milky Way soldier has ever faced. I feel like that's an honorary N7 qualification if nothing else.

    I agree that it's been over merchandised to an extent, but it's probably the most effective visual shorthand for identifying yourself as a Mass Effect fan.

    What do you mean by that? That they shouldn't keep selling N7 stuff now that andromeda is out? Or that the initiative symbol is pretty N7 stylized, but I don't think that's particularly notable.

    I'm not sure about your Ryder, but my Sara with the soldier background just worked as a peacekeeper who was assigned to guarding a prothean dig site, and she thought it was cool.
