As many fans know, BioWare and Electronic Arts have halted all future content updates for Mass Effect: Andromeda, a shame as vast as the Andromeda galaxy. With the proper assortment of patches and tweaks, the game’s bug-filled launch could have been redeemed, or at least improved to a certain degree. As it stands, multiple nagging issues remain in the game with no promise of being fixed. Fortunately, a modder has assembled a Mass Effect: Andromeda Fixpack mod to address many of these unresolved issues.

A modder with the handle ‘NightWolf2503′ has created quite the comprehensive list of fixes for Mass Effect: Andromeda. Having already addressed problems such as looping quest prompts, clipping characters, and mismatched crafting blueprints, version 1.03 aims to hammer out a few more rough edges in the game.

In the new Andromeda Fixpack update, a few awkward Ryder conversations have been fixed, several Turians have

This updates existing Phase-Shifted Personal Shields to gain their Gold modifier. Added missing gold modifiers to some Nukara Web Mine Launchers and Vaadwaur Cluster Torpedoes.

The sound of a shattering PADD echoed through the underground offices. Vrosik hardly paid any mind now; she’d become used to the outbursts, the manic intensity, the slumps of dejection, and the heat of anger that cycled quickly through her co-worker. She waited for the string of invectives to die down, then picked up a fresh PADD from a neatly-stacked pile at the corner of her desk, pulled her goggles down over her light-sensitive eyes, and strode into the workspace next door. She extended the PADD silently. Callius, standing in front of his desk, moped silently for a few moments, then snatched the PADD from her hand. He looked down at it and tapped at it a few times, loading in his latest designs from the network and setting it up for use. Finally he mumbled, “Thank you.” Vrosik started to turn and head back to her workspace, then stopped. She wasn’t sure why she did. Callius’ outbursts

On the brink of ultimate disaster, the Iconian Wars came to an abrupt, improbable end. Billions had died across hundreds of worlds and the relentless mass of the Iconian war machine hung over Earth, ready to bring the Federation and her allies to heel. But against all odds and reason, the naive hope for peace prevailed. The exact details of why the Iconians ended their assault are shrouded in mystery. But ultimately the details matter less than the simple fact that here we are, watching a new dawn after a long night of terrible storms. The reversal of fortune sits heavy on those that were there for the Second Battle of Earth, also called the “Battle at Midnight” - a reference to the infamous Doomsday Clock from Earth’s 20th century. That battle claimed hundreds of ships and tens of thousands of lives. The survivors, now some of the most decorated officers in Starfleet, the RRN or the KDF, have the

Quote from Mass Effect

Deep Silver and 4A Games’ upcoming title Metro Exodus is taking its post-apocalyptic premise outside the underground and into the Russian wilderness for its next adventure. In the journey along the world’s harsh and weathered surface, player character Artyom and the rest of the Spartan faction utilize a large locomotive train called The Aurora to safely go from one area to the next. While transportation plays a big role on the Metro Exodus train, it ultimately offers an experience similar to The Normandy from the Mass Effect series.

In Mass Effect, Commander Shepard uses The Normandy as a base of operations between missions, and the same is true with Metro Exodus‘ Aurora. While aboard the steam-powered machine, players are free to roam around, tinker with the workbench, hide weapons away in a personal arsenal, and even strike up conversation with passengers. Adding to the similarities, some interactions could

General: Added the D.O.M.I.N.O. console to the "Allied Dogfighters" console set. Also added a new 4 piece Bonus to the set. The 3 piece Bonus from the "Allied Dogfighters" console set now also affects the cooldown of the D.O.M.I.N.O. console. The Andorian Wing Cannons can now be equipped on any Andorian Escort. Foundry: The Lethean and Dewan escorts and the Lukari science ship show up correctly in the Foundry costume editor.

Resolved an issue that caused the "Promise of Ferocity" starship trait to display as "Promise of Ferocity - Lockout" in some places.

The Foundry is a special program within Star Trek Online that allows users to make their own episodes, playable by other Captains within STO. To access it, open your Mission Journal, and select “Foundry,” at the top. Every now and then, we like to spotlight a particularly interesting or unique mission for all of you to experience. This time, we’re spotlighting “In the Shadow of MIDAS: Part 1” by GreenDragoon. In the Shadow of MIDAS returns Starfleet Captains to the MIDAS array, the deep space communication array responsible for sending messages to Voyager on its long journey home. These messages were sent via wormhole, but Starfleet scientists have managed to open the wormhole enough to send two starships through. They haven’t returned, and it’s up to your Captain to figure out the mystery of their fate. In the Shadow of MIDAS is a three part episode (And the third part isn't out yet -

It was this past October when longtime BioWare developer Mike Laidlaw announced his retirement from the company after 14 years. Having been a leading creative force in not only the realm of Dragon Age, but also with the likes of Mass Effect and Jade Empire, Laidlaw’s departure was definitely an upset for fans of those epic adventures. Recently, he opened up about why he decided to leave BioWare, as well as what he’s been up to since his departure.

In the most recent episode of the The Game Informer Show podcast, Laidlaw revealed several of his current goings-ons, which includes his game-streaming exploits as well as his formal job of secretive consultant work with other studios. He also went on to discuss why he left BioWare, a decision he attributes to wanting a change of scenery following his extended 14-year experience with the studio. Laidlaw described the feeling as a “seven-year itch, times two”.

UPDATE: This stream is now over, but you can watch the replay right here! It’s time for a return to the world of Star Trek Online…on the tabletop! A few months ago, the developers of Star Trek Online got together to play Star Trek Adventures, the roleplaying game from Modiphius, and you all enjoyed it enough that you asked for a second episode. We’re happy to announce that second episode is coming on February 27th at 6:00 PM PT! Last time, the crew of the U.S.S. Pathfinder were drawn into a conflict between the Kalkrit Supreme, a war like alien race (dubbed by chat the “Space Jerks,”) and the Hekteb Confederacy, a loose confederation of alien worlds. The Kalkrit used terrifying space folding powers to create suicide bombers in a surprise attack, and the Hekteb responded by threatening to unleash a weapon that could break a planet’s tectonic plates. This time, the crew will bring these
