First time playing: Mass Effect Andromeda – Part 1

I finally decided to play for the first time Mass Effect Andromeda in 2024, which was until now just sitting in my library. I've modded the game first and used the mods most players have proposed, but aside from a few minor spoilers in relation to the mods I have no clue about the rest of the game – mainly the story & protagonists.

Let's see how I deal with a new combat system, research, weapons and armors! I'd like to see for myself how much of the game's criticism is still valid in 2024 with a modded game and mainly how the story ties back to the original trilogy.
This should be fun! :-))

Please note, this is a full playthrough with commentary.

Today's motto:
Wait, wait, wait! What implant are you talking about?!

Here's a few specs for this playthrough:

- Female Sara Ryder
- Ryder's starting training: Technician
- Gameplay difficulty: Normal
- Romance: ? (Don't know yet, but the LI will be definitely male.)
- Some unnecessary parts might be skipped in the editing (like walking around in the main hubs, or uneventful driving around in the Nomad, etc.)
- The list of mods used in game will be posted in a separate vid together with the specifications of Sara Ryder; the vid will be linked on the end screen here.
