The only problem anyone can have right now is that they're incredibly lazily designed.

e: they're either grey dudes with rock hats, Rock Protheans with two eyes or a guy wearing a bike helmet depending on your pov

wasn't there a spot on the citadel in... 2? I think? where you could see an elcor in the background walking around?

I'd say let's see a hanar move but it'd just float slowly and boringly :(

If you have the From Ashes and Citadel DLC, you get to see Blasto the hanar float about and wield two pistols.

The biggest problem with the design IMO is the extremely human mouth. The second biggest problem is that every single one of the concept heads they showed was way better.

Actually the biggest problem with the design is that the aliens from a totally different galaxy look more human than 2/3 of the other council races. If this isn't explained in game that's really lovely.

It's actually a crossover with Halo 4 and the ancient humans nonsense. Andromeda does share a writer with that dross.

We have no tits on salarians and krogan so far.

They should make the rock aliens hermaphordite. Then you can romance them regardless of gender and/or orientation. Or make them secretly robots, so they can tell Ryder "sorry you cannot gently caress us for we are robots", but then Ryder reveals that in the Milky Way organics do gently caress robots and this blows the minds of the aliens so they now welcome the colonists for introducing this new and exciting cultural revolution.

Bioware is already tortuously jumping through every hoop to make Andromeda as slavishly referential to Mass Effect as possible, except not really, except really. Aliens that kind of look like Protheans are hardly surprising.

Exactly. The one positive thing to come out of them buttfucking their entire setting was the chance for them to cut out all the cancer in game and in their dev process and make truly original stuff.


Instead the guy most responsible for the ME3 disaster is running the show and it appears the primary concern for the new antagonist race was making sure it fit on the human animation rig. Either they are just lazy as poo poo or there's a dumb twist incoming, and neither is good.

I mean if the sentient races of Andromeda can't make the air quotes animation or gently caress the main character, then what's even the point of making a new Mass Effect game.

This was my biggest disappointment in ME3, even worse than the lovely options in the ending. You finally get to see what a Quarian looks like inside their suit. They eat weird food, have long snouts on their helmets, only 3 fingers; must be pretty weird right?

Ha, ha, gently caress you! Just space elf flavor #23.

Eh, in ME1 you could see the upper half of Tali's face pretty well through the helmet, and it just looked like a human face with some glowy eyes so I pretty much just assumed "space elf" from the start (I guess they could've given her a horrible monster mouth like Mileena in Mortal Kombat has). I agree the way they revealed it in ME3 was about the most hilariously low-effort thing in that game, and that is saying something.

edit: I'm replaying ME2 at the moment and have been wondering if I should just ignore the N7 sidequests. Do any of those missions affect ME3 in any way?
