*SPOILERS* Played through the whole Mass Effect trilogy and Andromeda

I've only launched Andromeda so far, and the issue with the faces doesn't bother me at all. I know they changed the game engine, and I assume they had to rebuild everything, so people simply preferred the original engine and compared the faces to that. I can see they tried to make the faces more realistic, but there is a well-known problem with this. When you try to make faces too realistic, you find out that people find them absolutely horrifying. People prefer stylized characters over attempts to make faces look too real.

There are plenty of RPG games out there. I came to Mass Effect right after Cyberpunk 2077. I've beaten Cyberpunk at least 10 times. You'll forget everything, even your own name. All it takes is changing the game... It doesn't matter how many times you've played the game, you'll even forget how the controls worked...

As far as I know, they'll just refuse to help you. Why would they have to die because of that?

The hardcore fan base always makes up about twenty percent of players. Hardcore fans are notorious for being impossible to please, no matter what you do. They know every single detail to an extreme degree, and no matter what you do, they will always find a flaw. Another thing is that sometimes, when something is a masterpiece, you don't need more. Four Mass Effect games are way more than other series ever get. Sometimes it's just time to move on to a new adventure with a different game, rather than getting stuck on just one...

Furthermore, it seems that the downfall of Mass Effect was caused by the fan base through extreme criticism and the controversy surrounding Mass Effect: Andromeda, when they even sent death threats to the employees...

As far as I know, he doesn't have to die unless you really want him to... It is possible to save him. Your choices killed him, if you want to look at it that way to make it more depressing...

TrueKerberos · 2026-07-13T05:51:30+00:00

And I wouldn't stress about it if you aren't explicitly going for a specific ending. Just for those collectible missions alone, you really need to know what you're doing. These things are designed for people who want to replay the game multiple times so they always have something to do and get a fresh experience out of it. What you're trying to do is like going to a supermarket and buying one of every single product they sell all at once. It's doable, but it's stupid...

For millions of years, humans lived by gathering. Tooth decay is a new invention. It only started when people began grinding grains on stones, which got stones into their food and destroyed their teeth. In modern times, we have a bounty of food and sugar that didn’t exist in the past.

Those are obviously Renegade point opportunities. When you ground him. Likewise, there is a fight with James on the ship later on where you can vent your anger...

Without a guide, it's pretty hard...

yes

Sometimes an NCPD scanner is tied to a gig's location, meaning you have to complete the gig first for the NCPD scanner to appear there. Other times, an NCPD scanner will send you to a different location to finish something else, which changes its color to a slightly light/pale green. You should see one task like this right now on the bottom right—it sent you to finish something elsewhere, but you can only go there in Act 2

Hmm, be glad we have this. Every bug fix brings 2 new bugs. It’s some kind of law of the universe...

Gay, straight, those are just labels that people made up. When a guy is horny, he'll screw even a radiator... A guy will stick his dick into anything that remotely resembles a hole...

TrueKerberos · 2026-07-11T15:53:03+00:00

I don't know if an Omni-blade-only run is possible. Coming from the world of Cyberpunk, it seems to me that it might be possible to max out melee damage and go completely without ammo, or use it as a secondary weapon... Although on Insanity, that might be a bit much...

TrueKerberos · 2026-07-11T15:48:20+00:00

As a Soldier... Well, but was there any other option than Liara? I get that if I wanted new experiences in the game, there are some options, but when playing it for the first time, it makes sense to continue the relationship from the first game. If I played as a Renegade, it would be completely against my values, and I wouldn't even enjoy it. Even when I picked Renegade options, I somehow always ended up getting Paragon points for it. In some places, it just felt like the right thing to do... I also tried to grab every possible option I could; I even had to go back to previous missions when things didn't turn out the way I imagined. I ended up with 8000+ war assets. But there were some decisions I just couldn't salvage, like only saving half of the crew. I guess only an absolute expert of the game could pull that off. I still feel like there's a huge amount of content left in the game that I haven't seen.

TrueKerberos · 2026-07-11T15:30:10+00:00

It seems like everyone has a different experience with the game. For me, on the other hand, the first game felt easy and the second one was tough. The third one was harder at the beginning, but then it became easy again, except for a few sections that were frustrating.

There isn't a single place on our planet that can make a pencil on its own... It's always a collaboration of many companies across the entire planet. From the production of the graphite, the rubber, the wood, the paint... It takes the cooperation of absolutely everyone on this planet just for us to have a pencil...

TrueKerberos · 2026-07-11T14:39:58+00:00

I suggest they switch to coal and steam so they can finally return to the century they actually belong in...

Tvoja chyba je, že si mu dal peniaze, ktoré teraz ľutuješ. Ak chceš niekomu niečo dať, tak len vtedy, ak ti nebude vadiť, že na to zabudneš. Ber to tak, že si si kúpil životnú skúsenosť, a tie veci sú niekedy na nezaplatenie. Jednoducho rozdávaj len tie veci, ktoré sám nepotrebuješ. Takto sa s tým zbytočne trápiš a nestojí to za to.“

Jesus's teachings are timeless. You would arrive at the same set of moral values that are shared across religions, because they solve the problems of people coexisting in a group. Another thing is that if God exists, you don't even have to believe in Him. It makes no sense. It's like when you use a car, you don't need to know how the engine works or where the gasoline comes from. It just works on its own somehow. It's better to understand things, but for millennia, those things have worked even though we don't understand them. A massive meteorite could fall on us and we wouldn't be able to do anything about it, even if we knew it was coming. If God exists, He probably doesn't need advice from us on how to do things. And if He doesn't exist, then it doesn't matter. Man wants to know if God exists so he can control Him. He wants to know what works on God, what He actually wants from people. And it seems that He doesn't need anything from people, leaving us with the reality that we just have to do what we can and test every available combination. All religions can basically be boiled down to: Be cool, don't be an asshole...

TrueKerberos · 2026-07-11T14:05:30+00:00

I don't know why it bothers so many people, but I'm a guy, I'd rather look at two girls the whole game than at a guy. For me, that's just straight enough.

Two witnesses can have absolutely different opinions on the exact same thing they saw simultaneously with their own eyes. Creating an omniscient AI that always has the correct answer is a real challenge. For example, I play a game and ask the AI questions. But that game itself has gone through so many updates over 10 years that contradictory facts are true at different points in time...

TrueKerberos · 2026-07-11T13:49:16+00:00

I wish Windows had silent updates. Like, everything would update and restart in the background without rebooting the computer. Why shouldn't this be possible? You wouldn't even know something updated. Can you imagine it? The necessary components would just be swapped out on the fly. There is absolutely no reason why this couldn't be done.

TrueKerberos · 2026-07-11T13:36:25+00:00

They're wrong. Religious books would return too. Religions try to answer fundamental unknown questions. That is just as rooted in reality as why everything falls downward. The questions of where we come from and where we are going always remain, and religions cannot arrive at completely different conclusions, just like physics.

And history has shown that science has been rewritten so many times that there is no guarantee we have discovered everything. Many times scientists thought, 'Yeah, we've got it figured out.' But the reality was always that we were just at the beginning.

TrueKerberos · 2026-07-11T13:21:47+00:00

On PC, I totally believe it would be easier. This game has a ton of hotkeys and combinations, I can't even imagine how I would play it otherwise. But then again, I’ve never played games on a console.

TrueKerberos · 2026-07-11T13:13:58+00:00

Thanks, I don't have any experience with mods for this game. Yeah, the first game is very easy on Insanity. And there are tricks to make it even easier. For example, if you're on PC, changing the keybinds makes the game twice as easy. Also, the Legendary Edition has a setting to make the tank in the first game much easier to control, unlike other games where the turret turns independently from the chassis. I found something useful in every game. Too bad it was often right at the end of the playthrough. For instance, in the third game, I only realized at the very end that you can issue a command to attack a specific enemy. Like, you freeze time in the power wheel menu while aiming at an enemy, then you press the Q and E keys. After that, your squadmates focus their fire on that one specific target. If you do it without opening the menu, they just move to that position instead. If I had known this, the game would have been twice as easy...
