Talk:Feros: Data Recovery

Query

1) What is the reward for completing this assignment?

2) Is it possible to complete this assignment when acquiring it from Gavin Hossle after the completion of the main Feros assignments? Previous editors seem to disagree.

The reward is just leveled XP and credits. I don't know if you can acquire the mission from him after you kill the Thorian, but you can complete it. He'll be located in the colony instead of the refugee camp afterward. I'm going to go back through Feros soon making another character for ME2, so I'll be able to confirm or deny mission acquisition later unless someone else does so first. --ArmeniusLOD 18:16, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

Retroactively Achieving this Assignment

I believe it's impossible to go back and finish this assignment after you've defeated the Thorian. You can't gain access to the skyway. Therefore it's vital to secure the disks before you come back to fight the Thorian under the Zhu.

It is impossible to complete the assignment after the Thorian only if you don't have the disks. If you do have the disks then Gavin Hossle will be at the colony and you can complete it then, but again if you don't have the disks, then you are out of luck. Lancer1289 03:39, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

It is not impossible for the PC version, if you do not mind using the console commands that is. You can teleport to the skyway with the help of "At BIOA_WAR00 Start_WAR40_01". However that teleports you at the end of the second skyway and its a long way back without the Mako, which is left right before the elevator in the end of the mission. You can teleport back to the colony or spawn a vehicle to avoid walking all the way through it (read the PC Cheats article for more info on that). s3m0 04:40, August 26, 2011 (UTC)

And let me just point out that any mods or hacks are not allowed in articles. Therefore, it is impossible if you play the way the game was supposed to be played. Lancer1289 17:16, August 26, 2011 (UTC)

That is a matter of personal opinion. That is no hack or a mod, it is a console command included in the game. You might call it a cheat but in the end if the developers intended for the elevator to be stuck that way they should have disabled the quest if you return from the main mission without the data disk. That way you will not be able to take the quest and get stuck with it. s3m0 08:37, August 27, 2011 (UTC)
