Correct me if my memory serves me wrong, but if you encourage Garrus to be more renegade in ME1 then he becomes a spectre in 2. As an example.
Maybe a level of torture if it’s hexagons
Shepard takes control and rebuilds the galaxy, then constructs a clone organic body. He splits his consciousness in two, uploads one to his new body, and the other maintains control of the reapers. Once the galaxy is rebuilt and secure, Reaper-Shepard leaves the galaxy with the reaper fleet after leaving some way for the new galactic council to contact him if there is ever an extreme crisis. Clone Shepard then lives the rest of his life with Tali, becoming admiral, then the human councilor, then retiring to a quiet life on Rannoch.
Yes it was, at least for sovereign it is. By the time Saren attacks Eden Prime we can tell he is severely indoctrinated, made especially so by the visible implants given by Sovereign.
See by my interpretation sovereign was using Saren and geth to find the conduit. We know from conversation with Vigil on Ilos, the keepers failed to activate the citadel to allow the reapers to enter the Milky Way and begin the next cycle. The conduit was the device that hijacked the signal between sovereign and the keepers. So we can surmise that by the time ME1 starts, the next cycle was already supposed to have started.
Vigil also tells us sovereign is a “vanguard,” the one meant to stay in the galaxy to wait between cycles and open the citadel mass relay.
On top of that, Vigil also tells us sovereign was using Saren because he knew that the combined firepower of the species could destroy him.
So by all accounts everything that happened in the story is solid. Maybe sovereign could have assaulted the citadel and not need Saren at all, but he’d be none the wiser on figuring out why the citadel won’t activate.
Now why did Saren need to be a spectre? Well it makes things easier. Have a nefarious galactic level evil plan? Why just have the authority to chalk up all your evil doing as “for the good of the galaxy” and have the highest authority, the council, give it a thumbs up. Hell the council didn’t even believe Saren was behind the attack on Eden Prime, they straight up denied it. Tali just luckily managed to save audio files from a dying geth. By sheer luck the galaxy was saved. If Shepard hadn’t heard about her, she would be dead. So many lucky strings had to be plucked for Saren to be caught.
I’ve never had that happen to me, I know the game only restricts saves during the prologue mission and in combat.
Maybe not enough storage, you weren’t connected to the cloud, anything could have happened for the coding to not check for saving your game.
There’s no particular information stating when they first met, I just know there is audio recording in the Citadel DLC in the apartment detailing some thoughts Anderson had on Shep that implies a history between the 2.
They would probably know each other because of the N7 program, irl SF/SpecOps communities are very tight communities.
So whenever Shep graduated N7 he might have been introduced to Anderson sometime after.
You have to locate the gene editor
I feel like you over generalized with those statements.
Now nitpicking exist, everything will be nit picked, there isn’t avoiding that.
However there are legitimate criticisms of andromeda.
I appreciate you recognize it’s mediocrity and technical issues, but attempting to discredit these criticisms with “people wanted to hate it” is extremely disingenuous.
To counter what you believe, people wanted andromeda to be good. Because the last entry in the franchise, ME3, was a hairline away from being a dumpster fire. It left its fan base wanting the developer to be redeemed. Andromeda is not the hope fans were waiting for, just a mess mishandled by both the developer and publisher. Sadly BioWare made a complete dumpster fire, anthem, and now a lot of hope is gone. I often see more hope in a Original trilogy remaster rather than another entry in the franchise. Though there is hope for andromeda 2.
Destroy. I’d rather have Shepard live.
When Shepard hugs Tali after seeing her fathers corpse.
Yup
It’s almost a carbon copy of the first mass effect in story.
Combat is best and most unique in the series.
It’s content is as limited if not more so than the first game.
I’ve completed the game twice. Once at launch, and another a year later. I’ve attempted to revisit on multiple occasions but then I get bored with it. It deserves all the hate. It has so little value in replay ability that I cannot look at the title screen upon loading up the game on my Xbox without also thinking “god this is going to be boring.” I have so little emotional investment in andromeda. I often just go start another run through of the original trilogy after staring at andromeda’s start screen and character creation menu for a couple minutes.
But that’s just me, to each their own.
God, Total War Shogun 2 has less content than andromeda and I have nearly 2000 hours logged on it.
Lol, you have to do both their loyalty missions to trigger the script that will activate the fight.
You have to have a lot of paragon/renegade score. I don’t know the exact number, but I always make sure the bar is full.
I always play soldier
Lmao you’re late to the party.
Everyone knows the ME3 endings were garbage, and the indoctrination theory was debunked by the devs.
Damn, I can’t cheat on Garrus cause he my bromance, but I’ve never been more tempted than when I saw this post. You may have an upvote.
You are using synthetic as a catch all term, but in universe it’s applied in 2 different contexts.
Synthetic life is not the same as having synthetic parts. I wouldn’t go as far to say Shepard is a cyborg or has cybernetic parts in his body. He/she just has a lot of metal and science used to bring them back to life. Shepard is still largely a organic carbon based life form, whose life is maintained through the same bodily processes that kept him alive. There’s just a lot of metal holding his body together now.
Remember Shepard had a clone in the event Shepard needed another new body part after his revival? Shep loses an arm or a leg just replace it with a cloned limb. He wouldn’t need all the materials from the Lazarus project in the new cloned limb because it’s completely new.
The “synthetic” parts in his body serve the same purpose as a titanium plate on your bones, they’re meant to keep his body together. They’re just a lot more complicated than a simple screw and plate.
Synthetic life however is completely dependent on technology for sustainment. A geth can’t function without its battery can it? Synthetic life also is made up of a lot of computer software and programming in this universe. A VI can’t be considered a synthetic life form because it lacks the sophisticated programming of an AI.
So the catalyst calling Shep out for being partly synthetic is bullshit, if Shep can maintain their life with completely replaced organs then he isn’t dependent on his synth parts. Whereas firing the crucible in the destroy version sends out a wave of energy of some kind that affects the technology synthetic life depends on for survival, maybe even erases the AI program altogether.
In a setting where you have no way to bring fresh supplies from another galaxy in a reasonable amount of time I wouldn’t be to picky about which armor saves my life. The feeling that is supposed to be conveyed in Andromeda, at least what I felt, is that there are limited resources and even more limited production/manufacturing capabilities.
So no I don’t see it as stolen valor. If Ryder was claiming to be an N7 then yes that walks the line of stolen valor, but he doesn’t at any point in the game.
Well it is a cover up, it’s intentional. From interviews from the dev team they were looking to tell a story that isn’t affected by decisions Shepard made.
The story could continue in the milky way 600 years in the future, but anything they choose will ultimately come about because of Shepard’s(your) choices in the trilogy and the story would have to acknowledge the choices to keep the universe coherent.
RAMIRAZ, GET TO BURGER TOWN!!!
