#20337107 More meaningful consequences

Posté par Akane21 sur 19 juin 2016 - 10:47 dans General Discussion

I've been thinking about things I'd like to see in Mass Effect: Andromeda, and here's what came to mind - making the outcomes of certain decisions you make affect you more strongly. I know nothing serious in game mechanics will be changed, as the game is in a 'polishing' state, but I just wanted to dream a little, heh.
So here's what I mean. Let's start with an example (very cliché, sorry): you and your team are chasing the bad guys and stumble upon some civilians who are injured and clearly in need of help. The decision is tough, but you can't let the bad guys get away, so you leave the civilians be. Now, the most likely scenario would be that those civilians never make it to safety and no one ever mentions it. Maybe some of your squaddies disapprove of you, but that's it. But what if they came back? They would probably tell everyone about your cruelty. They would not trust you anymore. Their interaction with you would be different. And some of other people would also think badly of you because of it.
Another one: the raiders have attacked two colonies. One is human, another, say, turian. Both completely civilian, so neither is more important than the other. You could probably split your forces to save both, but it would lessen your chances to win. So, you face a dilemma. If you decide to save the human colony, the turians would not be pleased. But instead of simply saying "You humans are all racist! We will not forget it!" and then, well, forgetting it, they could hold a grudge against you for quite a long time. They'd refuse to aid you in your mission. Perhaps other species would also become more suspicious towards you.
This would lower your reputation, unless you also do some really great things that help everybody. Than the ones you somehow displeased would change their opinion of you.
It could also affect the story on larger scale. For example, I've read the theory somewhere that the N7 guy we saw in trailers is one of the antagonists, and that there could be a split between the colonists - some would follow him, and some would stand by your side. To not make it necessary to be a paragon of light to have the best outcome, let's say the split always happens - but if you acted like a douchebag, more people would join your opponent.
I'm sure it would add a lot more depth to the game and the player character. These above are just the examples I could think of, but I'm sure there can be more. I'm really interested to hear your opinions on the matter. :)



#20331211 Make casual sexual encounters available for when you're not romancing anyone

Posté par Akane21 sur 17 juin 2016 - 09:23 dans General Discussion

Ow, that got ugly real fast.

Anyway, jumping in to say that I personally would like such options. Things like that can really help in detailing your character. I understand that in ME:A the protag would probably have more urgent matters to attend to than visiting a brothel of some sort... but we sure could have some flings with people around us. It doesn't need to be a full fleshed out sex scene, a fade to black is more than enough tbh. But even just having a few NPCs to flirt with could be fun. Remember Harding from Inquisition? You could have a potential romance thingie with her, or just flirt with her before locking in a romance with one of the other LIs or going forever-alone. Or Kelly from ME2, I think it really fit in the universe and didn't conflict with the plot or Shepard's character. Something like that, IMO, would be really nice and refreshing.



#18651964 Troubleshooting and Workarounds

Posté par Akane21 sur 21 février 2015 - 02:12 dans News & Announcements

I have a really annoying problem. It seems to be the latest patch's fault, since I din't install any mods and didn't add anything to my system, and it is the fisrt time I encounter such problem.

I started a new game yesterday and only got to battle at Haven today. After converstaion with Solas, a cutscene with moving to Skyhold should start, but instead I get white screen with background sounds. If I load older saves, or saves of my other chars who are already in Skyhold, everything works fine...Except for that scene. I tried reloading and restarting my PC for a few hours already, I also tried repairing installation in Origin, hell, I even reinstalled the game - nothing worked. Is there any way to fix it?




#18253675 Alien romance - MENext

Posté par Akane21 sur 02 janvier 2015 - 01:05 dans General Discussion

gay/bi romance options in ME3: Steve Cortez, Samantha Traynor, Kaidan Alenko, Kelly Chambers, Liara T'Soni, Diane Allers, Samara
That would be 7, not 2, and already an extreme over-representation considering considering the percentage of gay people in the US.
So there's really nothing to complain about for gays.

Samara and Kelly don't really count as a romance. Only Diana is a solid argument, but it's a simple fling, there's no story and progressing relationship between characters.
And, just so you know - a male love interest for gay protagonist doesn't necessarily satisfy a lesbian woman and vice versa. A person can enjoy it (as I, bisexual woman, enjoy Steve and Kaidan with MShep romances), but the game still lacks representation. So, gay men in ME3 have two options (Steve and Kaidan) and gay women - two (Samantha and Liara) or three if you count Diana.

Well, it seems I'm having a bug with Dorian's personal quest. Spoiler ahead, if you haven't reached that part yet.

#17771594 Post pictures of your inquisitor here!

Posté par Akane21 sur 16 novembre 2014 - 08:00 dans Combat, Strategy, and Gameplay

****, that's horrible. They really need to implement face codes or something. I tend to replay with the same characters as well and the idea of taking screenshots of the sliders or whatever in Inquisition does not thrill me one bit.


May I offer a solution? ;-) Save at the earliest point of the game, then if you would like to replay this character you could load it and play.
Of course it also means you'd miss half of the prologue cutscenes. I don't know whether it is a big deal for you.



#17564021 Would you like to see DA:I dubbed in your language?

Posté par Akane21 sur 22 octobre 2014 - 06:08 dans General Discussion (Spoilers)

God, no. Russian dub of ME1 and DAO was awful. I don't want to hear it ever again. >__<

I think I could try once again, maybe there'll be some kind person who gives me the code =D

Hmm, I'm obviously late to the party, but if there are any codes left, I would like one.
