No, we don't know if that's what happens at all, because nobody has ever gone faster than light.

They've already said that you can romance/gently caress multiple people, and that on a per-character-basis they may or may not be fine with it.

Right, so it's like ME2's suicide mission, but instead of how many you can keep alive, it's how many you can gently caress. I'm going to go the FailRyder route of trying to get with the claustrophobic in the vents.

What was the most amount of people that can die and still win again in ME2? I remember a youtube where some one figured it out and the last "Hold the Line" speech was to like one person.

You can always win, but I think you need at least two people alive when you get back to the Normandy to prevent Shepard's death.

Finally read through the thread and got caught up on everything currently known about Andromeda.

Please don't gently caress this up, Bioware. :( TOR, ME3, DA2, and DAI have been such uneven games, with moments of greatness in story, gameplay, and characters, and lots of deep flaws as well.

Okay it's a bit murky but this is what the spirits have told me. The main story missions are going to be quite good and well paced. The overall narrative will be "generally fine" whatever that means but there will be long droughts of collectathon side quests and running back and forth across large zones to encourage you to buy something called "shiner and faster version of starting vehicle DLC".

Because of the sheer quantity of filler you will have completely forgotten the previous main story mission by the time you reach the next one.

There was nothing wrong with the dream sequences

it was the choice to make some random child the focus of them

Why not make old dead crewmembers the focus instead? That might have made more sense

It would. You would even have the Virmire casualty for the first dream, Mordin for the second (and I think Wrex, if Mordin didn't do it?) and Legion for the third (unless Legion lived, in which case you'd have Tali).

Watch them find a way to sneak Quarians/Krogans/Hanar/Elcor/Volus into the new galaxy, as stowaways or them sending another ark or some deus ex machina poo poo. Haven't thought exactly how'd they do it though. ME3's story was so bad and lovely when I wanted it to be good :(

They'll all probably be on the Nexus, it's definitely going to be the Citadel equivalent for Andromeda

And revisit old locations rather than use some forest we've never seen. Have the first one during Sovereign's assault on the Citadel from ME1, the second during the Collectors' destruction of the SR1, and the third during either the Collector Base or the fall of Earth, for example.

I would have to be human though. If Shepard saw poo poo like that on Surkesh or Palaven, the dream sequences wouldn't have been as compelling if you were chasing after an egg.

Now that more is starting to come out about Andromeda, I am honestly kinda worried. It's bad enough that Bioware believes they are able to launch this game in the Spring of 2017, there is no way that is going to happen.

The dream sequences were total poo poo because you don't do something that narratively different 3 games into a series.

They were dumb cheap devices that betrayed exactly how drained of talent the writing squad had become after 3 games.
