Another bug......
- Having to hack doors all the damn time even to just get to the bar at "that space port".
It might seem like we are ripping ME:A a new one, but we are being as constructive as possible if any criticism seems harsh it's only where things are really that bad EA / Bioware only have themselves to blame.
Another bug....
- A Dying World, if you find the vault and explore it before getting to the point of going to the vault in this mission the quest marker will not show up.
Audio bugs out almost all the time. Nomad engine goes silent and comes back (IF it comes back) for unknown reasons.
You almost never can hear the crew members talk when talking to NPC-s. Not talking about cutscenes, thats fine. Im talking about those when you get zommed at from behind and one of your crew members comment something. If subtitles are disabled you cannot hear anything. Tried taking off helmets, no joy.
Sometimes when shooting enemies the guns get silenced (you cannot hear the shooting) for a second then everything works fine after. It can happen multiple times each encounter. Its totally random when and how many times and does not matter what kind of weapon you use.
Audio is seriously my worst enemy in this game.
As a point of interest for some perhaps I thought I would do a summary of what I think about the characters. Feel free to chime in with your thoughts.
Alec - Easily the most interesting character and by far the best voice acted that would of made ME:A a far, far better game had he been the main character. Well done on killing the character I think everybody would of happily played as in minutes Bioware. (add a sarcastic clap here if you wish)
Male / FemRyder - Not as bad as some people may make out, can't hold a candle to daddy-ryder though and a lot of the dialog is cringe worthy. I feel truly sorry for the people that had to try and make something of that woeful script for these characters.
Liam - Kill him.
Cora - What is her point? Feels like she is meant to be the biotic version of Ashley and just flat out fails. Poor writing again.
Jaal - Hes alright, pretty generic. He needs to be harbouring some kind of dark secret to really make him come in to his own and be a memorable character. Not sure why he has a Garrus-esc vibe / appearance though thats just weird.
Vetra - Blatantly female Garrus, does ok. Why did someone think we needed both Jaal and Vetra to be Garrus-esc? Writing so poor you literally had to have two characters to try and fill the place of one Garrus? Get your acts together.
Suvi - Easily the best voice acted character with decent dialog (make her a party member like a discussion between her and Ryder eludes to) next to daddy-ryder. See Bioware, this is the standard you need for ALL of the characters, you know, like the original ME games did.
Kallo - He needs to be involved more especially with flight related things like planets that are dangerous to land on, once again he needs better dialog and make him interesting by giving him a science black-ops background (not STG Bioware use some creativity will you?) and thats why he was chosen.
Lexi - Kill her, dialog so bad sounded like she was phoning it in all the time. The actress is good, you gave her * to work with Bioware.
Peebee - Kill her.
Drack - Very good. He may stay.
Addison - Once again atrocious dialog made all the worse by the character being horrendously badly animated.
SAM - Christ this character is * can't hold a candle to EDI.
Gil - Just kill him, there is literally no point in him except to argue with Kallo. That is as shallow as shallow comes.
Archon - One of the better characters but heavily, HEAVILY, under used.
Notice a pattern here? Alec, Suvi, Drack, Archon, all really good characters I'd put money on a totally different person writing them as opposed to all the other characters. Lets hope the remnant are actually little reaper bots and the reapers are hiding somewhere to swoop down and kill everyone (would explain why the Archon sounds exactly like Sovereign) because as far as the rest of the characters and story goes it could not be any more bland or cookie cutter if it tried.
@RoastPotato26, I don't have any of those problems with a Roccat Kulo headset or Xonar DX 7.1. I'd suggest you try the latest driver for your audio to see if that fixes things 🙂

Weeelll... i have the latest audio driver (not even 2 months old) so i doubt this is the issue. I've seen a few people reporting issues with the audio as well elsewehere (the nomad bug is very common) so its not a personal bug sadly. Also tried with headset, the standard built in notebook speakers and with my home cinema speakers, all of them had the same audio issue. 😞
I may try to simply give it a reinstall, tomorrow i will be away all day so i just leave my laptop to work to see if it goes away. Will report tomorrow evening with the result
There is this thread which marked as "Solved" but the problem still persists at many people. There are some workarounds / solutions that worked for a few people but it requires deeper attention.
Might be something with momentary framerate drops.
