One of the party members in the old games was an asari scientist that loved to explore old alien ruins and had a serious and socially awkward personality. One of the party members in the new game is an asari scientist who loves to explore old alien ruins and has a carefree and outgoing personality.

In Mass Effect: Andromeda one of your new squadmates will be black, but smart.

Taking home your work over the holidays isn't a cool perk though

I'm pretty ignorant of what it is like to work for a big game dev. I dunno how often they are playing through their own game. Maybe they are loving sick of it by the time it's released? Maybe some of them only get to focus on small bits of it and haven't actually played through the (nearly) finished product yet?

I mean, if there's no actual compunction to play it, then you don't have to. At least you might be able to show it off to what I imagine are your mostly nerdy friends.

There is going to be a mod that is just going to take peebee out of the game.

Origin isn't that bad but I'm curious to see if this game is going to get any massive discounts early after release like Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1 did.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

I am going to withhold judgement if only because I was completely certain I would hate Dorian and Iron Bull in Inquisition and they turn out to be pretty cool dudes.

This. I liked both of them despite dorians awful personal quest(daddy hates me cause I am gay and won't marry to keep up the family name) I am hopeful for andromeda but biowares last two games and their various online and company jackassery have made me uneasy about it.

'personal quest' is maybe a bit strong - it was one cutscene-convo

True. I never cared for inquisition. I like some of the characters and ideas but it's to much quantity over quality and it was mostly boring and tedious filler with meh combat.

You do, it just took till the third game or so for them to show up. The running joke for a while is that they were around since ME1 but players didn't' notice cause female turians did not have breast/feminine voices.

I hope you can gently caress a Krogan. You can stick your space dick in drat near everything else and banging all the 'pretty races' gets old fast.
