Geostomp posted:So the story is that this apparently huge ship was launched before the end of ME3 to side step the RGB issue, isn't it? Yes it's the theory I've seen, a sort of failsafe in case the Reapers won, sending people to another galaxy. Makes sense.

Beefstew posted:Moving to a new galaxy and forgetting most of the other series is good. The story of the characters/most races are complete anyway. To add anything more to the Krogan or the Reapers or the Geth or Garrus would just feel forced and stupid. Though there might be a few decent callbacks here and there. Nope, the Andromeda mission launched sometime before the end of ME3, I guarantee it. I'm so confident I will  it. That way they don't have to write a canon ending. poo poo, it could have launched before even ME2, maybe something Shepard put in motion in case they were unsuccessful at stopping the Reapers.

Lycus posted:There's not a lot of words in the English language that I hate more than "canon". Yeah it's dumb as hell but they wrote themselves a conclusive ending and then decided to make more games so  I still don't see what the hell would be so difficult about setting the next game a couple hundred years down the pipe. All the human characters could be dead but you could still have aliens like Liara and Wrex show up, and as much as people stupidly froth at the mouth (hopefully not anymore) about sentient hats and green glowy bits, the important thing in the setting is that the Reapers stopped Reaping, and that happened in every ending except the stupid spiteful one they added in post-extended cut.

Is it weird that the next game is only a year away and we haven't seen any gameplay yet? edit: Also, I wish at some point they'd make another game set during the same time period as ME1. Spacebump fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Nov 7, 2015 |

He's regarded as somewhat of a rogue agent from the start of ME2 to the very beginning of ME3. Guess it could've been done in the middle of ME3, but there were other things to do (like hosting a pretty sick kegger).

Yeah, based on the tech and style of stuff in the videos put out so far I'm guessing it will have been something that they'll retcon somewhere into the storyline of ME3. Which seems kind of dumb but okay.

Shep just recorded the sendoff message during one of the ten thousand loading screens. You don't know which one. Canon preserved.  the faster Bioware can jettison canon and maybe tell a good story again the better. If they could do both, well, they can't.

For all of Bioware's faults, I'm glad they exist to further enrage assholes like them.

I will admit I laughed harder at mark Meer's deadpan sarcasm and "you... Stupid jellyfish."I tend to mix paragon and renegade and for Hale's performance it can be really weird as she really made them two different characters.

Meer's Shepard does sarcasm better than Hale's. The scene in the vaults is much funnier with MShep than FShep. And Evil Shepard going "IIIiiii should go".

I think they both played very different sheps. Meer's paragon was kind of an annoying boyscout and renegade was a hilariously smug dick. Hale's paragon was a serious, driven, professional and renegade was...kind of an unhinged psycho. I loved both sets of performances.

Meer made the sensible choice of not putting on a different voice for the renegade "character".

So in ME2 if you used gibbed to add squadmates earlier in the game some of them had extra dialogue, is the same true for any squadmates in ME3?

I will be honest about my Andromeda expectations. If it turns out to recapture a lot of the magic the trilogy had when it did things right I will be very happy. But right now my big demand would be a fully realized multiplayer that built off the success of the ME3 MP which was mostly tacked on from a failed stand alone game. All krogan MP rounds always left me in awe and laughing my rear end off.

I still think the setting of Andromeda sounds really contrived. It's simultaneously completely detached from the original setting, but also promises to bring back fan favorite things like all the alien species and Makos. It really feels like Bioware wants it both ways; they desperately want to ignore the original series so as to avoid its baggage while desperately wanting to invoke all the positive aspects of it. With as little as we know right now, it's admittedly premature to judge fairly, but that's just how it feels at the moment to me. I honestly think that if they were deadset on not addressing the ending of the original, it would've been better to just keep this in the Milky Way as a completely different, Reaper-free reality, but that probably would've been really confusing to market.

The whole move just strikes me as cowardly, like they have no idea where to go with the franchise and so will effectively reboot the basic plot beats of the original in a new galaxy with endless callbacks to how Krogan like to fight and Asari loooove to screw. Civilization rebuilding a changed galaxy without any imminent threat could have been an interesting setting all on its own, but Bioware has apparently lost all confidence in its writing that isn't groveling fan service. No sense of ambition whatsoever and every preview so far has come off like a bad Halo clone. That said, will buy if they bring back the multiplayer.
