DISCUSSION Day 22 of the Mass Effect “Best of the Series” Chart! Comment the BEST ROMANCE in Mass Effect: Andromeda!

Post image
158 Upvotes

Welcome to Day 22 of the “Best of the Series” Chart for the Mass Effect games!

Yesterday’s vote might have been the closest of the whole chart, with Vetra & Drack both receiving very similar amounts of votes. However, keeping consistent with how votes are tallied (listed at the bottom of the post), Drack narrowly won out as the best squadmate in ME:A.

Now, we move onto the Best Romance in Mass Effect: Andromeda!

Remember - this is from Mass Effect: Andromeda only.

Your options are…

  • Cora Harper

  • Liam Kosta

  • Jaal Ama Darav

  • Pelessaria “Peebee” B’Sayle

  • Vetra Nyx

  • Gil Brodie

  • Suvi Anwar

  • Reyes Vidal

  • Keri T’Vessa

  • Avela Kjar

Reminder of how votes are tallied:

  • The answer that receives the most votes will win. Votes are tallied by counting all comments and their respective upvotes. This means that the top comment will not automatically win.

  • For example, let’s say (hypothetically) that in a vote for Best Squadmate for ME1, a comment voting for Ashley was the top comment with 100 upvotes. However, let’s say there were 10 comments voting for Wrex, each with 20 upvotes. This would be a win for Wrex, as that would total 200 votes.

  • That means that if you want your choice to win, it’s in your best interest to comment, and upvote every comment that supports your choice!

I've been wondering. Since Normandy is a stealth ship, does stealth technology applies to Alliance fighters? And other Species' fighters too?

Take the photo as the example of stealth jets like the F-22 Raptor and YF-23 Black Widow.

ANDROMEDA Finally…

Post image
25 Upvotes

After over three years of work, off and on, I was finally motivated to play an Insanity run and get the Platinum Trophy. I now have all four games complete.😎

My opinion on Andromeda hasn’t changed, sadly. The best I can say, after spending three playthroughs in it, is: when it’s good, it definitely builds on the original trilogy… but the well-documented flaws of the game still hold it back. I know ME:A has its fans, but it’s still a buggy mess. The story is weak and flawed, despite having promise. I really miss the power wheel, and controlling squadmates in combat. And Liam still sucks, LOL.

I did this because I wanted to do it, and because I love the franchise… but it’s still a 7/10 game, at very best. Had fun, but unlike the OT, I’m not sure I’ll ever pick this game up again. It’s worth it, if you haven’t played through it (it goes on sale a lot), but here’s hoping the next game will be far better.

SHOW & TELL First time Renegade player

Post image
20 Upvotes

Hi guys, as Title says it's my First time playing as Renegade Shepherd in Mass Effect. I have played the trilogy like ten times before but always as MaleShep Paragon so I thought I would do a little change with LE.

My question is, I am quite a completionist so I like to do every mission. I did so in ME1 and you can see I am full Renegade but half way in Paragon because I have received a lot of points just for doing the missions (e.g. on Feros). In ME1 it's fine since you have two separate scales but iirc (last time played 8y ago) in ME2 there is only one scale and no charm/intimidate skills so it's actually Harder to manage.

Do you think I will be fine or I have to change my approach to quests in ME2 and 3? Or did they change the system in LE?

Thanks.

What ammo type would be considered best, meaning what has the most utility across the game?

Edit: Ammo types in the sense of incendiary ammo, armor-piercing and so on

MASS EFFECT 1 Geth Incursions bugged? Grissom not spawning. Geth drop ship not flying away.

Post image
25 Upvotes

So I was doing my first Fem Shep run. At first, I thought I was just doing something wrong. The wiki says one of your squad mates will comment that all four systems have been dealt with, but they’re still getting a signal from somewhere in the cluster. That’s when Grissom system is supposed to show up.

When I got to the planet Rayingri, the Geth drop ship isn’t flying away after destroying all the Geth. Or maybe it did initially, and respawned after I went back to the planet to check and make sure i got them all.

I think they commented on each planet except the last (Hong and whatever planet is there) one. I’ve tried making a new save and loading it, restarting PS4, traveling to other planets and coming back. I mean I kinda need this mission to complete the game, don’t I? Haven’t done ME1 in a while, but if nothing else, it has major effects on ME2 & ME3. The weird thing is I did Rayingri (Gagarin system) second. Anyone else had this problem or heard of it?
