One thing I never understood about the flotilla & Quarians: If you have to wear environment suits because you have no immune system, and you have no immune system because your species has lived on sterile ships for hundreds of years, then why are all the Quarians walking around in suits inside the ship? It would make much more sense to force the few visitors they get to stay suited the whole time, and pass them through a sterilization procedure on the way in. Of course the whole idea of a species having no immune response is ludicrous in a universe when scientists can engineer a virus to prevent exactly 999/1000 births anyway.

Being able to turn him around with a small angry one liner felt really off. Wasn't it more a 'get on board or I'm going to leave you to die here' liner?

New theory: After their exodus the Quarian leadership was secretly replaced by a group of religious fundamentalists who believe in space abstinence only education. The only way to make sure you never get a disease is to have no physical contact with anyone else, ever. It kind of fits the theme of a rag-tag group of exiles who were forced off their home planet after playing god and creating homonculi / golems / etc. and must now wander the wilderness, shunned by other nations, searching for the promised land.

I give Cullen a lot of props for being the only Bioware character I can remember who realizes that things like "logistics" or "planning" might be important to a military organization. He's an island of pragmatism in a sea of tumblr.

Let's see some Mass Effect Andromeda news in the Mass Effect Andromeda thread.
There are also reports saying we can count on a "magnificent seven" recruitable characters at launch, including Drack the Krogan and our friend the turian. There's also something mentioning a biotic named "Cora" which may be the real name of our asari friend Peebee. And of course we have Liam, who is supposed to be a human police officer that signed up with Ryder. That leaves two or three unaccounted for so far. According to this story, we can expect more companions as DLC, including probably the cut guy. It also says that Andromeda is meant to be playable after the main story line is finished, and I believe we can probably expect post-final-boss DLC in the future a la Inquisition's Trespasser. Major aspects of the gameplay are going to revolve around the Nexus and "cultural exploration" is supposed to be important. What that means gameplay wise hasn't been elaborated upon. Part of the plot revolves around how the Arks did not arrive at their correct destinations at their expected times, which causes some of the problems. The excerpt with Sloane Kelly follows after unrest on the Nexus has splintered the mission somewhat. Also--and please don't take this as tacit permission to relaunch the ME3 ending shitfest--producer Michael Gamble had this to say: quote:We want to leave the ending, and what we’re doing with it, as a surprise. This is a different type of story, so it will be something different than the trilogy. We can’t wait to hear what fans think. http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/mass-effect-andromeda-news-rumors/ http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=223412495&postcount=1 marshmallow creep fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Dec 13, 2016 |

marshmallow creep posted:[*]SAM is "broader" than EDI and supposed to be a "permanent part of your character." This raises questions because AI were illegal as hell which is why EDI was made by a criminal organization, but SAM is just...part of you. Did the effects of Synthesis somehow reach Ryder in dark space? Are we going to be loading SAM into an anatomically correct android body and making out with him? wait wait - did Bioware specify a cannon ending to ME3?

I think it just means SAM is a VI who will be more involved in different ways in quests than EDI's 'mission control'. For example, SAM can use his Witcher senses to uncover murder scenes at a range of 5 metres.

JawKnee posted:wait wait - did Bioware specify a cannon ending to ME3? No. Andromeda takes place far from the Milky Way specifically so that the ending to ME3 doesn't matter. I think that synthesis comment was a joke. Lt. Danger posted:I think it just means SAM is a VI who will be more involved in different ways in quests than EDI's 'mission control'. For example, SAM can use his Witcher senses to uncover murder scenes at a range of 5 metres. Yeah, that's how I'm taking it. It'll be the justification for a Witcher sense/AC Eagle Vision mechanic or something. Maybe Ryder has some sort of implant that lets them take SAM along, like Master Chief and Cortana.

I think that synthesis comment was a joke. Yep. The news article said he's an AI but that could just be the writer not bothering to distinguish it from VI in the Mass Effect lore. If he's a full blown AI and you keep him in your head or something that would sure be something!

Also, AI's are only illegal in Citadel space. Who the gently caress cares when they're in Andromeda. There are no rules!
