Original plan was for the True Geth to resurrect Shepard, hence the original ME2 teaser featuring a geth wearing the N7 armour (which would eventually become Legion's design). I think this would've been too tricky to implement, but the core of the idea is that Shepard is teaming up with former enemies to take on the real threat of the Reapers and their Collector patsies, and that made it through into the final Cerberus plotline.

I think you just have to write off the Cerberus portrayal in ME1 as a bad first draft - ruthless shadow government is far better than the aimless incoherent incompetent rogue black ops group with no real agenda or MO.
Shepard being resurrected by Cerberus is far more in keeping with the first game's tone, a tone that really comes out in ME2. Cerberus is a corporate-funded NGO which does crazy poo poo with no accountability, reaps the profits, and leaves others to clean up the mess. This kind of poo poo is what the average person is constantly struggling with in ME.

I'm replaying the whole trilogy right now, but it's the first time I'm playing on PC.

ME1 on PC is legitimately a Good Game, no caveats required. The combat is a lot less rear end with M+KB.

Mirandas core character concept is perfectly fine though the execution is wanting at times. She's a literal engineered ubermenschen who is smug as hell to mask the fact that, because she is a literal ubermenschen, she doesn't entirely feel like she's earned her achievements. It's a good scifi premise.

Stop mangling our beautiful German language. She's an Übermensch, or ubermensch if your strange keyboard can't do an umlaut. Übermenschen is the plural of Übermensch.

I wonder if they will also have expanded roles for non-party members. Like in Inquisition, where I liked Leliana and Josephine quite a lot. They were involved in the plot and developed as characters, even though you couldn't take them with you. Your sibling is probably intended for such a role, I just hope they have additional people like that.

they mentioned a fair number of romanceable characters won't actually be party members so this seems likely

have I got a link for you if you haven't listened to it already.

I really hope the music is good for andromeda. it's the biggest thing that gives me nostalgic feelings about the trilogy. Vigil's theme, Saren's, Uncharted worlds, Tali's theme, Suicide Mission, Terminus blues, Dear Jessie, For Tuchanka, I'm sorry, and of course I'm proud of you. Good stuff.

Plus Faunts. Andromeda better have some Faunts rolling with the credits.

I'm probably late to the party but if I want to play through the first ME again, the only mods really available are Hi-Res texture mods eh? I think the last time I played the first ME was 5 years ago and I just got bogged down by Citadel fetch-quests.

Also, the music across the series = amazing. I'm ambivalent of the upcoming release because I felt like the main writing talent left (Karpyshan) and the series was worse for it when helmed by an orgy of goofballs (Walters, et al.) that decided to poo poo in three different-colored paper bags and phone-in the endings for 3. The Save The Galaxy trope was great for the last trilogy, but I'm already getting depressed looking at the hyper-charged caricatures billed for Andromeda.

I have an excuse. I was phone posting at the time and my dumbass phone changed ubermensch to menschen, god knows why.

Also German is the second dumbest language in western Europe right after English :colbert:

I was going to make a joke about sexy outfit and nude mods here but I just checked the Nexus and apparently the first Mass Effect doesn't have any of that, which is really surprising.

Does a great job of explaining why Mass Effect is pretty good and why Mass Effect 2 and 3 are 90% poo poo.

For example, why Miranda is terrible:

This is garbage and I've reported you for posting it.

I want to say that Cora will be getting left behind on the ship but the rest of the cast of characters for Andromeda look so boring that I don't even know who I will bring. Hopefully the krogan is cool, but the turian will probably just be a painful reminder that we have lost Garrus.
