They didn't explode, they deactivated and fell apart. You literally see the wave not explode the reapers and geth troops, but rather shut off immediately.

I mean, even I could see the difference between destroying one while it's on and having it shut down and fall apart without the mass effect fields to hold it together.

For the extended cut I'd agree with you.

But in the original cut they do look like they explode, but not in the exact same way it happens in Arrival, I'll give you that.

I fear that the rushed development lead to poorer assets than we got in ME3, they might have to use a lower quality of stock photo for your party members.

I wonder if you pick a non-caucasian Ryder will the game change your sibling & dad to match your ethnicity? If you use the presets it would be easy to map 1 to 1 which bother goes with which sister, though they'd have to make a dozen different dad facegens too. But if you make a custom character they'd have more trouble unless there is literally a 'race' slider. Hopefully they don't just tint your family member's hair/skin tone to match yours.

DA2 had about half a dozen potential appearances for your protagonist's family based on what you chose for Hawke. I'd imagine Andromeda will do the same thing.

Pretty much, though how will that work if you make one twin white and the other black (which is a thing that can happen with some twins)? Who knows! Maybe Dad's resemblance will default to being more like the one you play.

One of the concept artists for MEA, Thomas Pringle, who left back around 2014, posted some of the art he made for the game:

Sleep, rest, do your best.
My Shepard was named Argus, so when they introduced the Argus assault rifle I pretended that it was named after Shepard. I hope they do that kind of thing for real in this game, it would be neat.

Also I want more info about the multiplayer because that was the best part of 3 and I have moderately high expectations for it.

I just watched the EC Destroy ending and it still shows the spin-arms of the relay breaking and flying off into space, the relay itself looks undamaged.

e: wait, they just did a panning shot of an absolutely hosed Relay with "The relays are severely damaged, but we won."

That panning shot plays even with a sub-optimal EMS (low EMS Destroy is the one where everything is vaporized), where in that ending the Relays blow up more than the inner rings flying off.

So my guess that it's a pre rendered cutscene that always plays for the bare minimum for that ending.

Ideally, there would be a "High EMS Destroy" version that has that Relay with just missing inner rings, no other damage to it.

Yea the multiplayer is the part of Andromeda that I have the most faith in. ME3MP was amazing, DA:I MP wasn't great but its problems were due to the poor combat engine in DA:I period. They went back and unfucked the character unlock costs too.

We'll, they could always pull the 'Shepard was indoctrinated' theory and make every single person happy who isn't the shaders-guy: he would be real sad after all that hard work making a red/green/blue ending.

It seems like DA:I was designed with the mindset of "No one would ever want to play anything other than a Mage" and just leave the AI to handle the clunkier workhorse classes. Still doesn't explain the only ranged specialization for rogues being based around mines you drop at your feet.
