Why is he wearing what looks like a monocle? Is this a species that is literally raised on ancient memes from the Milky Way?

The Milky Way is filled with fitness fanatics fitted with body-hugging ceramic armor and party dresses. Andromeda is filled with jowly cat people wearing baggy cloaks and people with craggy skin conditions.

All the planets in Andromeda are high-grav planets and the Ryders are engineered to be stumpy little bastards to compensate.

Because they spent so much time traveling so fast, their ship was compressed, and so were they. You grow an inch after every main story mission.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the less I like Ryder's whole Rookie Fuckstick thing.

Like, the newbie hero with a Secret Destiny? That's every RPG ever, more or less. It's how you justify the world relying on the level 1 rear end in a top hat who just left bumblyburg instead of a veteran.

Shep was a welcome change of pace, since she was established as a shitkicker from the drop. If the universe needed saving, she'd be humanity's pick for a representative from minute one, game one, and that meant you didn't get the same plot beats as every other RPG ever made.

Yeah, there was the Beacon thing, and people kept hyping up Shepard like any other RPG, but mostly it was "Here is a badass. If you want to know why they are being called on to solve every problem, it is because he or she is a badass. Any questions?"

I'm not entirely fond of going back to factory default, you know?

My background in fashion design and xenobiology tells me they'd develop some sort of earmuff like things... or tentacle socks.

This game is such a disappointment already.

Star Wars's Twi'leks didn't have any flesh scarf for their head tentacles. These guys just follow suit.

Apparently its not really a 'save-the-universe' deal, though, and Rookie Fuckstick works better on a small scale - especially if the conceit is exploring the new galaxy and building communities with your fellow space-travelers.

That said, Rookie Fuckstick is a very fantasy trope, while sci-fi traditionally has always had more experienced lead characters.

Apparently Mac Walters said that Cerberus had nothing to do with the formation/sponsorship of the Andromeda Initiative. So hopefully their presence or impact will be minimized.
