Remember that awful choice we had to make back in Mass effect 1 ?
1st playtrough :
BW: Choose between Kaidan or Ashley to set the Bomb . Whoever do it , will......die!
Me: Nooooooooooooooo!
BW: Chooooose your-ahem-Their Destiny NOW!
Me: *going bipolére* Ashley? no no..Kaidan? no no ! OMG! how do I choose ?
BW: Choose already! Saren is waiting !
Me: ashley ? But she has so many sister..the funeral will be big and costly ! on the other hand , her family name was black listed so no loss there .
BW: *Sigh*
Me: Kaidan? He is a biotic and ashley isn't .Beside he keep hitting on my femshep........and he doesn't have brothers or sister to miss him ...urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you can't make me choose! it's not fair !
30-ish Playtrough:
BW: Choose between Kaidan and Ashley ! and whoeve-..
Me: yeah yeah , I know .
BW:Remember ! Whoever you leave behind...will......DIE!!!
Me: Why can't I leave both behind ?
BW: wut ?
Me: ohhh and then Virmir would be nicer actually ! no 'drama before you leave disaster area' !
BW: *Disconnect*

Anyway , joking aside . From the above you gathered that the 'Tradition' of choosing a squadmate over another is back . They added not just one but many . And this time , it isn't about squadmate (those are safe) , but choices Main story related .
Bioware seem to be 'learning' from Mass effect 1 . But again , they still has alot more learning to do to get it right .
I personally never liked the choose between Kaidan and Ashley because the game doesn't give you the 'leave them both behind' .
Why would I want that ? because I couldn't stand either one . And they made Virmir a traumatic moment shepard (my shepard ) didn't need .
Virmir was a heavy 'Omg everyone was taken! I failed' and Thanx to these two nitwit it become about them bitching we didn't contact them . Way to ruin the real drama .
Anyway , back to the topic at hand . In Mass effect Andromeda we have less Nitwit and more Choices that influence the Main Story . Oh goody !
THE SPOILERS START HERE !!!!
The Asari Ark : Who did you choose in the end? and why ?
-Sarissa .
-Vederia .
I choose Vederia . Personally , Sarissa got everyone in this mess . And in the end she didn't apply what she preached . I felt for Cora who was a big fan of her and to find out she was just a phony . But better to find a truth that hurt then live a lie .
Vederia is religious and I don't care that she is . But I think she gonna be a great Pathfinder and I also think she gonna have one hell of a legacy because she seem to have one of those wise Matriarch aura about her .
------------------------------------------------------------
The Turian Ark: What did you do ? and why ? -Convince Avitus to become a Pathfinder .
-Let him decide on his own (unknow what happen) .
I choose to convince him . If only because his lover tried so hard to make him one , so in his memory it was the right thing to do .
----------------------------------------------------------
- The Salarian Ark : who did you save ? why ? Now this one was complicated . On one hand you can save a Salarian pathfinder (the cutest of all ) , and on the other hand you can save a bunch of Krogan scout that are important to one of your squadmate Drake .
So who did you save ? and why ?
I saved the Salarian Pathfinder . because there is only ONE of her . And I don't care for Drake or his scout . He does get over it over time . So it isn't like..you are doomed if you don't save them .
Sorry Drake..but you are no Wrex
------------------------------------------------
- The Spender slimballs. This guy work on the nexus and he is an ass to everyone who isn't human . Addison let it fly because reasons . Drack want his head on a Pike . You get to do all the work ! In the end , you get to decide what to do with the investigation .
-Blame it all on Addison / or not .
-Exile him / or jail him .
I didn't blame Addison because I can understand the stress she was under and in the end she does own up to the mistake and admit she should've done something sooner .
I jailed him so Kesh could keep an eye on him . Next playtrough...I exile him maybe .
I didn't choose the exile option because if this guy is a sociopath then in real life he would adapt to being exiled and would sweet talk his way out of being mobbed . Which in the long term would make him one potentiel danger outta there .
Jailing him is too nice . He is fed and clothed and has a bed . In this case I wish we had a 3rd choice..give him to Drack or kill him . After all...he is responsible of death of many .
---------------------------------------------------------
Kadara : All the roads lead to Kadara . Or as I like to call it : kadara is the new Omega ! Who did you choose in the end to rule over Kadara ? the charlatan or Sloan ? and why ?
I choose Sloan . The Reyes greasy face is a busness man . A busness person work with contract and that make them regide . If an issue show up and you are ennemy you won't be able to speak to their better nature because it's a busness. Nothing personal , but if we gonna wipe you off the map..it just a client request . You can't have diplomatie with a busness person . It's all trade and money talk . Which is more dangerous then Sloan .
Sloan is a bully and her mens shake peoples for protection money . But she hasn't gone all bad and I could see it . Down the line , I believe she will change . Good or bad ? only time will tell . But at least she is something I can deal with one way or another .
meaning she can and has a chance to turn Kadara to something good . While with the charlatan , there is no opening .
And being a pain in her ass is a plus . While the Charlatan was more like ''What's Antiva Spy doing here?'
--------------------------------------------------------------
-EOS: You can put a Military Outpost or a Scientist one . Which did you pick and why ? I went with science . If it were shepard , I would've gone military . But we are here to explore the wonders of space and dig ourself a home !
