I decided it was now time to follow up on that favor Admiral Hackett requested of me a while ago. This was a DLC mission known as "Arrival". Small spoilers ahead.

Continuing my explorations, I went to the Prothean ruin I found out about above. The researchers had shielded the ruin in preparation for a Geth attack, so I first had to take the shield down to explore it. There were Geth rocket drones everywhere around the ruin, constantly popping up out of...

With not much left to do, other than visit the derelict Reaper, I am now focusing on exploring the galaxy. First, I found a planet that had a damaged heavy mech on it. I had to find power packs for the mech as I let it lead me to a hidden cache of resources (which turned out to be Platinum)...

The caterpillars finally pupated a couple of weeks ago. I forget how long it takes them to mature in there, but it will either be later this year or early next year. Black swallowtails pupate by hanging on the underside of a twig or something supported by a strand of silk they run around their...

I play this game every once in a while too, as you well know, since you recommended it to me. I use a different mod setup though, which can be found here. It is a really fun game, although incredibly difficult at times, and it can be a bit buggy too. Still a great game and I look forward to...

Jacob's mission was next. It took place on a jungle with toxic native food that caused people to have reduced cognitive functions. Even though Jacob's father crashed there 10 years ago, they only sent a distress signal about a year ago. It was a bit confusing for a while, but it eventually...

I decided to follow up on the lead I got from the chlorine planet about the Blood Pack base it was a rather short mission, but scenic enough for a screenshot. Upon completion of the mission I gained a very useful upgrade: Heavy weapon ammo 6. The special thing about this upgrade is that, when I...

Next I decided to do a bit of exploring in various nebulas I had not fully explored yet. I encountered two missions on two uncharted worlds in the Crescent Nebula. First I killed a bunch of Eclipse mercs that had taken over a mine of some sort. Then I went to a world with a chlorine swamp where...

I headed to Tuchanka next. Was happy to see my old pal Wrex there. Sounded like he was really doing a lot of good for the Krogan. I was not expecting to find a minigame though... After looking around a bit, I decided to first help grunt out on his rite of passage. It was an interesting one...

Also very good to know. I have been getting all the upgrades I can from my crew. I have plenty of excess resources, so upgrades aren't a problem, except the ultra expensive ones you have to buy for credits. I have not been to the Krogan areas yet, but I can do that next if you think I should...

The crashed merchant ship led me to a derelict space station, and the space station led me to yet another facility on another planet. That was my next destination. Here I learned that I had been seriously missing out on the Throw biotic power... It may sound underwhelming at first, but it is...

After Tali Joined, I followed up on a lead EDI gave me regarding the crashed merchant ship mission I did prior to investigating the collector ship. It took me to a derelict space station. The VI of the space station had apparently killed the entire crew for some odd reason. It was an extremely...

Excellent info to have, thanks! Next up I decided to help Garrus out with his vendetta. Tracking down his former team member, Sidonis, meant going through an old acquaintance of mine, Harkin. Harkin had a few mercenaries and a ton of Mechs in his base, including two of the really big ones...

The disabled ship was a trap, of course. The collectors were trying to get me. They failed, of course, but it was a tough fight to get out of that ship. I encountered a new enemy type too: Abominations. Not sure what exactly they can do, but they seem to be a type of Husk that explodes when it...

The next mission I decided on was recruiting Samara. She turned out to be a rather odd asari with an even more strange code of honor. The mission wasn't too terribly hard, despite the toxic chemical clouds and heavy hardware everywhere. Like usual, I ended the final fight in an instant with my...

@Urdnot_Wrex I kinda let my squad do their own thing in combat for the most part. They use their powers on their own, and it usually works out fine for me. Usually. I am not very good at micro-managing teammates in Mass Effect games; I usually have enough trouble keeping myself alive and dishing...

I did indeed decide to help Jack out with her personal quest next. It was a short quest, but it was definitely worthwhile. I found a gamechanger there. It came in the form of a boost to my biotic powers, which in turn allowed me to research a greatly reduced cooldown time for my powers. This...

Lots of new stuff opened up after my visit to horizon. I will skip most of the minor stuff I did, if no one minds. I decided I should check out Ilium for new shopping opportunities first. While there, I found many old friends again, including my love interest from the first game, Liara. We had a...

Next up we got word of a collector attack in progress and headed directly to Horizon to see what we could do. It was a very difficult mission and I learned a bit about my enemy, and discovered some new types of enemies which I immediately learned to hate with a passion. I played through this...

I decided I may as well look into recruiting the last person I was given info on from Cerberus. Okeer was on a junk world, full of mercenaries and more mercenaries. I didn't have too much trouble with them really. After fighting through a ton of them, I finally met Okeer and he seemed really...
