ME:A Blather- Heh, I keep intending to progress the story, but Eos keeps pulling me back in! I ended up fighting my first Architect. It was pretty intense! I died the first time around, because whatever cover I was behind didn't work. I just had to keep moving, cloaking when I could to lose aggro and get some breathing room so I could get my own attacks off, a combination of cloak enhanced sniper shots and incinerate detonated by energy drain fire combos. Eventually, that brought it down. And it got Eos to 100% viability, and got me enough AVP to unlock another pod, which I used for a regular money infusion.
But heh, yeah, I hadn't actually been doing fire combos before that, mostly because currently bullets work just as well. Though the Architect dropped remnant troops that were all armor, so it was really the first opportunity I had to use the combo.
Also, the Valiant fires MUCH faster in this one. Though part of it may be that there's no longer sniper time dilation in this, so I'm experiencing the shots in "real time". The black widow exists in this too, though I have no idea if it still has the inherent penetration its ME3 incarnation had. Otherwise, the valiant and black widow's stats are very similar with their damage and RoF being inversed.
Or course, I have no idea what the numerical rate of fire stat translates into how fast you can actually fire it in game, so I don't know which rifle has the better dps. I mean, at base, a Valiant does 310 damage with a rate of fire of "125". A Black Widow does 576 with a RoF of "65". But since I don't know how a 65 compares to 125, I can't do a proper DPS calculation.
TV commentary:
The Originals- Heh, thank goodness that was resolved quickly. The rest of the Mikaelsons manage to rescue Klaus. Though a bunch of love and family issues between Marcel and Rebekah, as well as him and the rest of the family come up.
Some people like his speech, but it just seemed like posturing. Like I felt Klaus was finally making inroads, trying to end the cycle of violence by promising that he and his family would never return, rather than making threats. And I know he felt betrayed over the events of last season, but it seems like the family was finally trying. But Marcel had to go on about how he beat them without becoming them, and how he's showing the mercy because right now he could just kill them right now. Which I guess he see the mercy as not being like them, but trying to be all, they live at his whim does seem like them.
In any case, they make a reluctant peace. Heh, I'm sure they'll be back though due to whatever that scary magic thing is connected to the wv('Ouroboros!) symbol. Vincent seems to think its big trouble. And since Hope is connected to it somehow too, the threat to the city and Hope may bring Marcel and the Mikaelsons back together?
