Mass Effect Andromeda: What to do with the Ancient A.I. ? (All Options)

[@AngelCakes1997]

I honestly expected when the Angaran said "I have a family!" For SAM to go "he is lying."

[@Delsanar]

All Angara have huge families lol.

[@Podcir]

Delsanar haha true :D I remember talking to Jaal or some other Angara, they said they have a lot of siblings (like 14). Then Ryder said he/she only has one sister/brother and Angara asked: what happened to the rest? xD

[@ThePlatineist]

Hahaha.

[@Hibbou.]

aaaah, there is my morning laugh :D

[@klyddkross]

Lol, good one.

[@kieran1845]

Angaran: *gets shocked and cries for help* Ryder: *Thinks about it for a while probably killing him during the wait*

[@Howl4514]

Kieran1845 haha considering my game is paused right now....yes, he's pretty much fried.

[@vc180191]

I'm literally reading this comment, considering this issue, while listening to the Angaran in question grunting and screaming from the nearby TV as the game is waiting for me to make the choice. He's been grunting for the past 5 minutes with no ill effect, he can wait until I've decided if his life was worth saving or not against the sheer level of snark you get for keeping the AI.

[@Howl4514]

I love the ai. I decided to keep it. "It was nice talking to you." ai: "I hope you all die." definitely my fave character.

[@tehgman2]

Glad0s anyone.

[@Allaiya.]

"Am I correct that it's within your power to vent the station's atmosphere and kill the organism's aboard?" Yeah... this AI needs to be put down. lol

[@borek92]

Why the hell is Jaal talking through a comm link when he's standing right in front of you... smh

[@shabopshebop131]

borek921 I think his language is being translated through the comm

[@captainmorgan9399]

I thought if I let her live then she'd release the prisoner. as punishment for killing him i sent her to the hell of living with the angara.

[@the_infinexos]

I made the same choice

[@antiochus87]

*SPOILER* As she says repeatedly that she doesn't know the Angara, does that mean she's a Jardaan AI instead?

[@the_infinexos]

Yep! The Angara didn't make her, neither did the Kett. She's more Remnant

[@vlogscience]

Let me guess... her name is GLaDOS?

[@ThePlatineist]

Nice. XD

[@wafflecakepans]

Warning: Doing this and then reloading a save to choose a different decision (kill or save) WILL NOT OVERWRITE YOUR FIRST DECISION. I saved the AI the first time, sent it to the nexus, then decided I didnt want to do that and reloaded a previous save and choosing to kill the AI. 3 hours later I went up to the Tempest and got a bunch of emails saying that the AI had been sent to the Nexus. Sure enough, the AI is there the next time I'm at Sam Node. I wasn't able to undo it because all my saves had been overwritten and I wasn't about to undo over 3 hours of progress.

[@Aaron14LifeZZZ]

really that sucks o.o i decided to give her to the angara the 1st time then reloaded a previous save

[@GouveiaBDesign]

I ended up killing the AI because I didn't think I could trust it. I had too many bad experiences with rogue AI in mass effect lol

[@laikenf]

Same, that thing was acting up big time, kind of creepy to be honest.

[@notsosmartguy6254]

Brendon Gouveia there's something creepy about it.

[@benjamin-ing]

Notsosmartguy 625 Agreed. When she is spoken to if you send her to SAM, SAM will highly caution you, SAM became slightly louder, proving that even Sam is not assured that he can contain her if she goes crazy.

[@FlamesAndShadows]

That rogue AI on the moonbase from the first game, later, with a lot of patience, becomes EDI. Angara were angry, distrustful and ready for violence, because of kett polluting hope and power of first impressions, simular to this AI, at first. Gett fiasco happened because Quarians could not take back the life they accidentally created. Conduit were tasked and given free creative choice in saving species and kept doing so without conferencing with someone living and that was a nightmare. Sending her with SAM is not very wise, she could clam up making a clear line of US and THEM and be chummy only with him or try to influence other Arks SAMs (Rider Sr. had special relation with his). If Angara were to not let her near any power or control for a looong time, be patient, kind and forthcoming and provide free access to stimulus and communications with people other than work and notations it could be she would make new connections and learn to trust again. But, they could be too happy to get their hands on long forgotten piece of high tech and give her too much ways to kill them, becoming another cautionary tale. The writing is pretty bad she lack dimensions in the reasoning and judgement, showing bad example of treatment to other AI could prove catastrophic but killing is also an option.

[@kizzer134]

I actually waited awhile and thought about it (while an angaran was dying in the background :/ ) and thought she just lashed out due to fear....sooo took the risk, nothing ventured and all that.

[@Mandalore1987]

i really expected this choice to have lasting effects instead of just adding a bit more conversations to the sam node.....i mean you guys could see the potential this mission had didn't you? When i first met that A.I. i didn't think long before putting a bullet in it thinking if i don't there would be a twist in the story later on which could potentially be a problem for Ryder....alas all you get is the few concersation pieces between Sam and that A.I.

[@JenkoRun]

Ikr. I feel like Bioware forget that one of the huge problems with the last game was the lack of cause and effect of your choices.

[@MrZlocktar]

This is a ME series after all. This ancient AI will in some twist in next game if you will use save. It was always so.

[@Ilovedallthepeople]

Mandalore BSF it will have consequenses in the next game, as every mass effect always have done

[@tyvernoverlord5363]

The angara being force choked was funny for some reason...

[@YannR34]

And now, we need to know what is next... Is she going to have secret with SAM, Is she going to turn him again everybody else? If she is going with the Angaran is she going to complote against them? It's weird that she is suspicious against the Angaran who are supposed to have designed her only 600 years or 500 years ago. She should be happy to find them back and share with the descendance of her creator. She is very weird and obviously not trustful at all. I doubt we could obtain anything valuable from this lying AI.

[@kurzor0007]

I doubt she could turn SAM against everyone because Ryder Sr designed him in such away that "there is no creator to revolt against" by linking him with the Pathfinder allowing him to experience life. I think this scene is the perfect example of how an AI should be treated, EDI and Ryder Sr stated that to prevent an AI from revolting, its creator should treat it like they would treat themselves: treat it as a living being or at least as a sentient being. If they were treated like a tool (case in point: The Geth and The Catalyst) it is more likely that the AI will revolt

[@YannR34]

+ kurzor0007 I agree with you for a part. This is why I saved the geth against th Quarians who wanted to kill them all even after the Geth decided to stop the war. But in this case she only lie. Reject the Angara who created her in the past, consider them as a treat and even kill one on them with no reason because she could make a warning without killing. And the first think she do when arrived on the Nexus is finding a way to kill everybody, and to lie again... She is alive and some of us are good and some are bad... I think she is really bad. After 2 lies she keep going on and on and I think she will keep going to do what she seems to do the best and then if caught, will try to find a good excuse and lie more again. Killing someone with no need just to warn doesn't look like rationnel except for someone who just want to control by fear. I think she is like a dictator, and you absolutely don't give power to this kind. In ME3 this is what was not logical with the Catalyst who was keeping going on to say that organic and synthetic couldn't live together, in my game I proved the opposite because I saved the synthetic against the Quarians who wanted to kill them all with no reason except there pride, and preferred to die instead of making peace. And the geth even help us, the organic, to fight again'st the reapers. Nothing was good and logical in this end, except is the catalyst was kind of crazy or stupid which doesn't fit with the story. So I think this angara IA has functional problem and is probably a psychopath who do not respect anything and place her above everything else and won't hesitate to kill everybody just because she think she doesn't need anyone. She is the one who decide to kill first and obviously she won't stop because she think that we need her and for her it's a weakness that she will exploit. Considering IA as humain means that you have to consider that she could be this kind of "human" who do not consider that to be nice is good but is a weakness that he could take advantage on.

[@GouveiaBDesign]

based on what I read saving it actually does end up helping in a small way.

[@julianwelton]

kevin rianto Does it help in a meaningful way? Or is it like a cut scene that doesn't really matter?

[@lozoft9]

See I would’ve kept her alive but she clearly spooked SAM which is what really got me.

[@Delsanar]

This is basically an AI in rampancy in that it would have to be constantly measured and guided to accomplish much of anything or heavily shackled. This one isn't like SAM, I can't trust it. Make a new one.

[@FlamesAndShadows]

Ugh. Now I regret not killing her. Ryder's reasoning of 'you are too valuable' and 'your future will be exciting' before dumping the problem for Angora to chance with, all that over a body of friendly enthusiast, leaves a bad taste.

[@donloder1]

Anyone know where she is after the epilogue? at Port Hyperion? or am I missing something during the final fight?

[@bobbyboy1797]

I think she just dipped.

[@fotheloveofmusic23]

I struggled with this to lol something seemed very uneasy about trusting her especially after the cutscene that took place before the decision had to be made the that her first instinct was to lie, become, hostlile then try to kill! nah my boy fuck that rogue A.I shit just wanted to what the other option would be nothing special and still didn't trust her dialogue

[@TrenchCoatDingo]

meh i kept it at lest we can rip it open for info later and any tech would be useful to the initiative.

[@yblueshinigami]

Killed it, that AI did not feel Safe.

[@WingXCustom]

Yves D Along with the English language...

[@warangelxii271]

Guys yea she a crazy AI but I treat this decision like the rachni one from mass effet 1 yea she could look and sound crazy but could end up being an asset just as the rachni help out in the reaper war when saved but they had a reason like been corrupted by the Reapers through there song which kind of add to a non-comparison but some what do??? but guys that's only a fact for the lady to be kept or killed

[@Wesley-bo4po]

The Hyperion and Sam mode is on Meridian, when I sent the so to Sam, I got an email about it being on the nexus in sam node so I went to both meridian and the nexus, it wasn't there. Can someone please tell me what happened?

[@Maples01]

Just as I thought, it's evil, listen to it's discussions with Sam

[@BANHMIZON]

Is that Brienne???

[@tacticalderpy2077]

ahhh glados

[@juntienong4549]

that fucking writing......

[@ramsyla460]

kill the AI or not

[@marcusphoenix5970]

It was too creepy
