On Rannoch, years after the end of the war, the reaper corpse is the halfway point of one of the most popular hikes on the reaper war memorial pilgrimage.
Visitors flock every year to it, to marvel at the sheer size of it, the idea that anyone, any thing could take on something this size and win seems ludicrous, like a children’s story.
The hike takes you along the path that it’s beams carved into the earth and stone on the planet, still scorched and crumbling years afterwards.
The hike culminates in one long, hard climb up to a ridge, where the marks of the beams carve hard long scars into the cliff face. Barely a square yard of the rock is untouched.
On the edge of the cliff, in the empty V formed by two beams to either side, stands a life-sized statue of Commander Shepard. It is dwarfed by the reaper corpse in the distance.
On the base of the statue, the inscription simply reads “In The Face Of Overwhelming Odds.”

Takes on a rather narcissistic context if you picked blue ending.
"ReaperShep erected this monument to his former self's victory over his other former self."
Well, if you took the blue ending... that sounds about right, yeah.
Also, at my new job we've been given various training tasks and one of them was "create a text file on this virtual server you created and put some sort of message in it." My text file was MassEffect.txt and the message was "Commander Shepard sez: Always be charging."

I think we can all agree that blue ending has the most comedy potential.
Unless you believe the headcanon that green ending means anything can reproduce with anything, in which case nothing will ever be funnier than that future.

So are those visitors to the memorial slowly Indoctrinating themselves year after year? A couple of dozen years and a cult of these people will be assembling a new Reaper somewhere out in deep space.
If they're quarians, not to worry. They'll die to incompetence and idiocy on the hike back after deciding to declare war on an electric fence and engage in melee.

By that token, the memorial doesn't even exist. The council never takes action on anything that has to do with reapers.
Ok, finally finished the game. Had 850 XP to go until I hit 60, lol. Almost made it. Before I go into spoilers, I will say that there was a lot left on the table for DLC and sequels, so in that regard, I'm sad there won't be anything else in Andromeda.
The actual final mission was kinda meh, for me though. Just run around and activate some terminals was almost ME 1 levels of final mission. Other than that, I really liked the setting. The final memory and logs show that the Reapers are at Earth and they might be the only Milky Way people alive, kinda puts a new emphasis on making sure this shit works. I never managed to make the movie night happen, or the end of the reporter quest. And it was funny, I flirted with everybody, but only PB wanted to put out, so too bad, slackers. Early bird gets the... Whatever, lol.
I'm sure I'll think of more as it rolls around in my head, but these were just the ones that popped up fresh, so to speak.
Those two sidequests should be complete-able at any point, so doing them after you're done with the main story is possible.
Yeah, my own personal movie night ended up as a post-game quest. And TBH that actually felt appropriate. (And, now that the plug has been pulled, kind of bittersweet.)
So, apparently Scott is the most weeb character in Andromeda. We all thought it was Cora, but no.
See, I had an Asari Sword equipped in my layout, and I wanted to make a better one, so I had to swap to something else because [INSERT CRAFTING DANCE BULLSHIT HERE]. I did so, and when I got back to Ryder himself, he was on the ground in front of the weapons locker, unmoving. I could move the camera, but Scott did not budge. Nothing in-game could jar him from his shock, even giving him back his beloved blade. I knew people grew attached to their weapons, but that's ridiculous.
Jeez that's super cheap. I'm close to buying it just for the sake of seeing whether it does in fact improve after the first part that people say is the worst...
It's totally worth < $15 unless you despised the opening or something.
"Despised" might be a little strong, but I definitely strongly disliked it. Everything was terrible.
It gets better. Not a lot better, but some things improve. I played the ten hour thing and felt pretty unconvinced but day 1'ed it because I'm a junkie, but whereas you can overlook or forgive some major flaws in games if the sum is worth it (Elder Scrolls games, for example), Andromeda never really sold me and compounding issues burned out charitable reading.
Did the thing, and now my run with Scott Ryder is over. So now I can officially put Mass Effect: Andromeda to bed and never play this franchise again because BioWare doesn't know what the fuck it's doing, apparently.
100% Game completion (yes, including untrackables), but 99% Heleus Cluster Map, because fuck me, that's why. Romanced Cora, flirted with Reyes right up until The Kadara Choice though.
Headcanon was that I played the twins as a "What If?" for each other. Which means that my Scott and Sara playthroughs are the same universe, just with one twin being The One instead of the other. So some choices were the same, and others were vastly different. Complete opposite to the Original Trilogy, where each Shepard was their own galaxy. Both siblings grabbed all the model ships and pets, because staring at those empty spaces on the ship was killing me.
And the end result, spoilered because big.
This is what ~100% twice gets you, which is about 5 or so levels higher than if you skip the untrackables. Who knows if you'd hit either level cap on a NG++ though. I leave that to someone else.
edit: Yes, I did enjoy myself, but there's a certain irritation when you're playing a game that's depending on a sequel when it's been announced that there's none coming.

@Strikor and I were watching a film tonight, of which it would probably be a spoiler for me to name, and in the midst of some Bioware jokes we determined that they should really make, "Fuck you, Space Dad" as their next RPG. That is all.

I think we have a canon ending!
Fake edit: Also, hiking around a reaper corpse seems like a spectacularly bad idea. Even a dead reaper indoctrinates.
Get out of here with your logic
Unless Reaper-Shepard was still into that kink

(Closing/Opening the game again fixed it.)
Also that means we can likely forget about more Mass Effect stuff anytime soon.
This sucks.
Is there anyway to play the game unpatched?

Despite that, still worth $13 in my book.

I assume this is a reference to something I don't get.
But if it's not: Son, I'm nearly 40, I ain't got no plans to birth a child. If we ever decide to have one we'll adopt.
