Poor PunkPrincess (nice alliteration heh) Stranded before it all begun... I wonder how many things I missed in my playthrough. Wouldn't surprise me if I did, because I don't stop for every camp with kett or mercs. At some point it can become a bit distracting. I finished Cora's loyalty mission last night I really enjoyed it. Especially the decision to make at the end... Sarissa remained Pathfinder even though she tried to keep things quiet about the fact that she was responsible for the Matriarch's death. Sharon thought that it shouldn't remain a secret. Even so it wasn't an easy decision. It's true that Sarissa has a lot more experience, but Sharon didn't have a lot of experience when she became Pathfinder either, so the fact that Vedaria doesn't really have a lot of experience was not a reason to not make her the new Pathfinder. Ultimately she thought that Sarissa's actions were the right thing to do at the time.

The Mineral scan is probably time-wasting and a pain in the ass ... Did find the underwater Lake ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6719875/images/bBdukYleWEd0unbolhja.png) I couldn't let go her away with this. Such a lifesaving resource shouldn't left to be in the hands of a power greedy Person like her. In my other 2 playthroughs I did always choose Vedaria - you have to admit to let the pathfinder die for a relict/map and then let them praise you for your valor is just ... ugh. This time I let her heavy hearted stay as Pathfinder. Will see if it has any impact to the endgame.

I hardly ever bother to scan for minerals. Some of the minerals you need are a pain in the ass to find. You have more luck buying them from stores. It wasn't an easy choice. Then again the choices are never easy ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/6719875/images/tqnBMmzFwPhKNOXMvytD.png) Thought it was a bit of an odd scene though. More like Ryder didn't really want to pick any of the two.

And more decisions... Next stop after Cora's loyalty mission: off to hunt for the Archon. To save the salarian pathfinder or not to save the salarian pathfinder ![:-S](//storage.proboards.com/6719875/images/HTFnKlwadnuDGIrsTrgs.png) And damn, she died again ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/6719875/images/tqnBMmzFwPhKNOXMvytD.png) She must be trying to beat Shepard's record!

according to Forum the most players decide to save the Salarian. I admit after my first run my heart was so broken for Drack that I decided the next 2 games otherwise. AND - its much better. Drack is happy, Tann ist pissed, Kallo understands and to have more of this Krogan genetic altered beasts is a terrible idea. But it is still a hard decision. The impact ingame is bigger imo if you save the Krogan. BTW - how did you do the Turian Arc ? Did Avitus accept ? This time I messed it up somehow and found Avitus later in Kadara at the Bar - drunk and as a freelancer Oh and another question - which Companion Quest do you like the most so far ?

So I ended up saving the salarian pathfinder. No fun with Drack being pretty pissed off about it ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/6719875/images/oghwnZlNoyIlJUH0rFfy.png) It was odd though, because when I got back from the mission I dropped by the med bay first where Drack was getting a medical check up and you get the story how he ended up with a little krogan baby girl. Then, 5 minutes, later I run into him somewhere else on the ship and he's pissed off about me not saving the krogan scouts ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/6719875/images/tqnBMmzFwPhKNOXMvytD.png) Seems a bit bipolar lol Oh well... next playthrough I will save the scouts. I still have to play Vetra and Peebee's loyalty missions. Not sure which one I should do first? So no idea about the turian arc yet. My favourite loyalty mission so far: probably Cora's because of that tricky choice in the end. Even though I hate it lol

Ah - I had this conversation always before I went to the Hunting the Archon Mission. So it wasn't this weird timing you discovered.
Turian Arc Quest you get from Avitus after Elaaden is done. If I remember its the suspicious Kett activity on Elaaden you get in a Mail from him. Vetra has nothing to do with. Peebee's mission is pretty long - and the progress slow - so its for me mostly the last before the true endgame starts

But I failed to do my rounds talking to the crew after Cora's loyalty mission.
Off to that system from where Vetra's loyalty mission starts. I see the turian ark is there as well. I think I'll clear up that rock H-047c first, then drop by the turian ark for a chat and after that I'll do Vetra's loyalty mission.

I should mention that I finished the Nexus Uprising novel... Yeah, I know... it took some time. Not because it was terrible (if it was I wouldn't have finished it). Mostly because I only read it during my breaks at work, or if things were slow. I really liked the insight on what happened on the Nexus after it arrived in the Andromeda galaxy. Anyway, since there was a discussion about hating Sloane earlier. After reading the novel I'm still glad I stopped that sniper from killing Sloane. There's one bad? decision she made on the Nexus, which caused her to be exiled. The way she runs Kadara is questionable I agree, but when it comes to surviving... It'd be nice to know more about what happens to the exiles after they're banned from the Nexus. I hope one of the future novels will cover that.

She's the only one original Pathfinder now. Interesting thoughts - can't change my opinion about Sloan, though. tbh in the endgame you see no difference between Raeka or Krogan scouts. But it pays for sure of if you think about the future I guess. New trust towards the Krogan and from the Krogan to you. And if you let be Sarissa stay as Pathfinder you have a really experienced one.

He deserves a good yelling Finished Vetra's loyalty mission last night. I though it was a nice touch that Sid was involved in it. Kinda badass really It's funny how in this game there's always something else to do btw. Just when you think you have completed 70% of the game you unlock a new mission and it's back at 68% again lol

*scratches off Peebee's loyalty mission* Is it me or does it seem trickier than the other loyalty missions? I hate hydra mechs btw and it's one of the reasons why Kalinda ended up swimming in lava oops! Also finished the Ryder Family Secrets quest. I'm curious now who the mysterious benefactor is

I think it is a lot trickier and longer then the other loyalty missions So far I always safed Kalinda but this time - I think she will learn to swim in Lava ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/6719875/images/yBZcNccDFyVVeIDiljqJ.png) My bet about the benefactor is still on Cerberus - dunno why - sort of a feeling

But if that was the case you'd think it would be a humans only mission. Although Cerberus has been known to bend the rules a little when it comes to working with aliens (ME2)
But it is interesting to know that the whole project WAS indeed a contingency plan for the reaper invasion.
Btw could the Shadow Broker have been an option for the title of mysterious benefactor?
