I just thought about how you first come to Aya, everyone hating you, and how damn long ago that feels by the end of the game. Way less video gamey 'we hate you! Oh you're cool, we love you!' than in many other games.
It feels very weird though when you then find out that the Exiles have been out and about for like a year or something and the Angara have people living in those shanties and working together as mercenaries and oh god they really didn't think all of this stuff through
Eh..
the anagrans and what's left of their society are basically in a state of constant flux because of the Kett. War and strife generally mix up societies like little else, and extremely fast, too. Remember how WW2 basically threw out the then-current roles for many, with women filling the factory spots left open by the men going to war, for example.
So this is actually something I can believe
But everything on Aya makes it like they haven't encountered ANY of the Milky Way galaxy species until the Tempest shows up, which is like... completely not the case.
No, it makes it like these angarans specifically have never encountered milky way species, they've all seemed to have heard of us though, which isn't unreasonable or contradictory at all?
Aye, there's a difference between "What the hell is that?" and "That's a Human, here, on Aya" Hearing about some Milky Way aliens is a whole different thing from having them turn up on your doorstep unannounced

The Roekarr are totally in contact with the normal Angarans, trying to recruit them. You really think they didn't post all the info they could about these new species, in order to drum up fear/support?

And not even just
the doorstep. Aya is like.. Temporary paradise for the Angara, something everyone is looking forward to. Even later on there is a quest you can find where an Angara that is angry his friend died, because he sold his spot on Aya to the 'outsiders'. I'm the wake of that quest, you can suggest that these who give up their slot in Aya can go to the nexus instead, so they have at least some 'time off' from the war.
In the wake of that quest you can then talk to those who are thinking about it, and find out what their own thoughts about that are.

I've read about and seen dozens if not more videos of capybaras and lions online, but have never seen one in person and if one did just show up I'd still be amazed and in awe and surprised and (at least for the lions) pretty scared too.

The different levels of Angara knowledge about Citadel species didn't bug me. The Helius Cluster is a bunch of little pockets of society that don't have reliable lines of travel or communication to each other except for a class of smugglers and resistance fighters who, understandably, both have reasons to be tight-lipped about where exactly they go and what exactly they do. It's a really loose, disorganized place where people can fall off the grid in an instant - it's like two steps past postapocalyptic - and I think the gameplay and quests actually did a p good job reinforcing that feeling with the amount of time you spend following up on rumors and finding lost things/people. The stuff that rang most false for me were the couple of times you INSTANTLY knew what was going on somewhere a long ways away instead of having an element of delay or ambiguity.
So in that context, some angarans (particularly the angaran dropout/criminal class) knowing about Council species while others (in their top secret hidden refuge) not really knowing worked fine for me.

So this was a new fun MP experience for me: "Match Results Could Not Be Loaded" or similar
So I did my 7 waves, got back out, and because the results didn't load I get not a damn thing in XP or Credits
This is the first time I've gone back on a decision in this game. The first time I did the mission, I chose to save Raeka after all the times in the mission they came and fought for us and were pretty brave and stuff, and also every other original pathfinder has died by this point and I wanted to save one of them, but then I got back to Tempest and Drack was pissed. Then I started thinking about it and realized the Salarians, outside this moment on their ark, are still pretty much hyper-dicks that tried to wipe out the Krogan, and there are far fewer Krogan than there are Salarians. So I went back to my save before the mission and ran it again. Turns out afterwards, no one even seems to get that upset that Raeka dies, and Drack is pleased you saved his scouts.
So, sorry Raeka. Thanks for your help and all but I think the Salarians are much better off than the Krogan are and I gotta throw my weird turtle homies a bone.

That decision was a hard one, but my thinking was that I didn't want a possibly live pathfinder to fall into Kett hands - Plus Raeka had saved my life just before.
Yeah, Drack was pissed, and I'm not a dick, but in my opinion, saving Raeka was the better choice for everyone's survival.
I mean if the kett want krogan berserkers, they can just grab some exiles, it's not like all Krogan are at new Tuchanka

Also Kerri.
Her romance should have been done before you commit to someone.
The entire thing was skeevy and gross.
She was all, I talked to the bartender to make sure we get the heads up if your girlfriend shows up. And it's like great, not only am I cheating, multiple people now know about it and are actively giving me approval for it by helping me do it.
I remember the writers say that they wanted you to be able to date multiple people because that is what people do, which is fine, but I don't think they really achieved what they meant to do there.

Salarian ark
I was there to save salarians so I saved salarians.
It would have been nice to know the actual numbers on it though, like were you saving a lot of salarians and only a few krogan?
Also if you save the krogan do you no longer have to fight exalted krogan anymore?

That also factored into my decision - at first I wasn't sure if I was trading a few Krogan for the whole ark, but once I found out the rest of them were fine (minus the few in that room Raeka escorts herself) I felt better about my final decision.

The problem is that
You can flirt with Kerri, and specifically say "y'know, by time you're free, I may already be taken with someone else", and that's acknowledged. But then when you get to the point and you talk to her, there's no option to say "yea, it happened, I'm taken, we need to break this off now". Both options are for cheating on your SO and banging her. So the only way to not cheat then is to never go talk to her at all, but of course you don't know that until you've done it.
Finished Movie Night, and I'm pretty sure Bioware have installed spyware on my computer.
I'm writing a sci-fi story, and it just happens to feature a spaceship crashing into an asteroid, which crashes into a planet.
For perfectly legitimate plot reasons, I might add.
It doesn't feature a montage with excessive flexing though, so I guess they had to make that bit up themselves.

My Ryder dated three people simultaneously. Reyes, Peebee and Keri.
i saved raeka cause, at the time in my game, we only had recovered the asari ark and in my mind i couldn't afford to lose another seasoned pathfinder. imo the new pathfinders needed someone with experience to help guide them down the line while they learned the ropes
and then imagine my surprise when the original turian pathfinder was killed too!
I saved Raeka. I didn't remember Drack being too pissed off about it. I think I had already finished his loyalty mission at the time, and I also had him on the salarian ark with me as well.
When I got back to the tempest afterwards, he was reasonably upset, but after talking a little bit his reaction was basically "Yeah, I get why you did it, and we're cool, but morda's going to be pissed".
After going onboard the ark, all the cutscenes after have been Ryder talking in helmet voice. I was about to stop for dinner anyway so I don't know if turning off the game helped, but traveling elsewhere certainly didn't.

I got the same bug, couldn't find a way to fix it. Playing with game settings didn't do anything, reloading didn't, restarting didn't, nada. Really a pissoff since there's some nice story rewards for completing it.
I remember there being one mission where I had helmet voice afterwards, but it was gone the next time I started up (or maybe it was just the next area even).
Woops, the Salarian ark discussion was in this thread
something else regarding the Salarian ark (spoilers for about just after, or when you found all arks, not exactly sure)
Raeka is apparently a brilliant geneticist that helped bring back the lost biodiversity of her home world - this is a big reason she became pathfinder. Remember how much Alex Ryder brought with SAM and his N7 badassery?
Now imagine that level of aptitude in a Salarian geneticist, a species that has already started working against the Kett, an opponent that is extremely reliant on Genetics.. And Salarians are pretty damn well known for their own aptitude in that regard, as the Krogan might attest.
Regarding the Genophage,
As you can read in some data pads, not even the Kett in all their geneticist mastery fully understand it
I wonder how important this decision will turn out later on, it might be a big one
