Just be aware that multiplayer in ME3 was basically a failed side project grafted on to the game late in production. Given how popular it became I believe they'll put a lot more effort into it this time around.

Not much known about it other than it was supposed to be a multiplayer FPS set in the ME universe.

It's been ages since I've played Jade Empire but I think you can trigger that scene (and even finish the game) without realising that it is incest.

Though to be clear, they have also said multiplayer does not affect endings or anything like that. It is purely for getting goodies as far as SP is concerned.

As much as it would annoy the fan base, just going hog wild with nonsensical mp classes is the correct option. Like 1/3rd of the options in ME3 had flimsy backstories or just didn't make sense. But a team of a volus vanguard power punching aliens in the nuts, a 10 foot tall Geth, a loving Collector and your ships AI gone shotgun murderbot? Why not!

The sheer variety was part of what made it so good.

Really, the Geth seem like the race that'd be easiest to sneak onto the Andromeda project. They just need to sneak however many programs they can into some corner of a huge government project, then they can 3D print themselves new bodies when they arrive. Or en route, maybe we get all the new tech from bored AI brainstorming jetpacks for a couple centuries.

Geth do not infiltrate.

Looked it up to check, and you can. You find out if you progress another follower's sub-quest before a certain point in the story.

Yeah, that doesn't really make it better since there are also 8 people who consider you a sibling (with 4 literally believing they're proposing/being proposed to by a blood sibling until you get a dead mom deus ex letter telling you you can bone since you're not directly related)

Also you can marry their 4 kids which is even more since you don't get deus ex mom letter so you're just marrying your niece/nephew :shepface:

Geth are also like the single lore species you couldn't justify (along with the Awakened Collector I guess). Everyone else could feasibly have tagged along for shits and giggles but the Geth are literally at war with all the milky way species when they launched the initiative (especially since they 'attacked the Citadel' with Sovereign) and they would have 0 reason to cooperate if they did end up in Andromeda.

You could probably still have them as an enemy faction if you said they just sent out a ship to explore andromeda like one hundred years previous for some reason. But that'd be weird and kinda dumb.


On the other hand they did the Awakened Collector in ME3 along with the Cerberus dudes so :shrug:

*waves hands*

These Geth are a renegade offshoot faction that think like Legion did. Also they followed the ark powered down drifting in space and just woke up.

Buy this DLC for :10bux: and play as a Geth whatever today.

Justifying the Geth in andromeda would be very easy and people have given numerous potential explanations for why they'd show up already

As for why the ark people wouldn't immediately go to war with the geth is probably best explained with "a lot of people would loving die" so unless the Geth are outright hostile it'd be easy to write them in as another faction in Andromeda with a strained relationship to the citadel races

Your sibling is so horribly injured in their cryo accident The Initiative have no choice but to upload their conciousness and build them a robot body. Things just sorta spiral out of control from there.
