What Do You Think Pathfinder Training Entailed?

So there's some emphasis on my lack of experience and or training by several characters regarding my being the Pathfinder and it annoys me, both because I am a horrible person and want my titles to s...

Oh, I totally agree. I was just pointing to the history of young (male) Ryder and his lack of experience.

Now Alec... dude was a beast. I want to replay that mission on Habitat 7 for again so I can see him action. I feel like my first time was too occupied with me in cover shooting back at the kett. While Alec was pressing forward the whole time (and I think the idea is that you can't keep up with him even if you run by all the enemies).

The dialog they had about Alec while we were following him up the Remnent structure made him seem badass.

Spoiler

Killing him in the first mission, I feel, was a huge mistake in the story progression. It would have been far better, to me, had Alec lived and went on a solo mission to further investigate the Scourge and Remnent, since those 2 factors are the destroying natures of the the worlds. While he was gone he would leave Sara/scott under Cora's command. Then, say, after the Eos mission settlement, you get a mission to meet with Alec at a Kett base/Remnant structure, where he sacrifices himself to save you, but he also has learned a great deal, and SAM transfer a lot of that knowledge to you when you merge.

I just sort of feel like his death after a few missions would have been more meaningful, to know that he was willing to do so much to help the people of the Nexus. But that's just me, a wishful dreamer.

Alec was a total N7 character and had almost all the paragon ideal, with that bad boy touch of renegade on the sitting just below the surface. yeah, would have been great to have more of him in the story. But I also think the writers wanted to tell the story of the wimpy kid (lolololoolol) rising to power. I'm only 2 settlements in, so I don't know how much young Rider rises, but I get that sense that he's a nobody who rises to be a somebody.

What sort of sucks though, is how easy you can get N7 armor. In my opinion it should be walled off till you reach a certain "goal" or progression milestone. Something worthy of being called N7. Pathfinder, sure. I can get that armor, but N7 branding... nah body, you aint worthy,... yet.

The potentiality to still uncover Alec's prowess is there. Some flashback gameplay while SAM, unexpectedly triggers other random memories of your dad in the next games. Looks fine to me, bringing a bit of turmoil, because it starts blending with your own personality. Also, of course, wishful thinking from my part, but it never hurts hoping, right?
