The point of an empire is to rule over masses of foreigners conquered by your in group. The AI is bringing about 100+ thousand people with no more than about 25k from any one species. The idea is absurd.

More absurd than a species of only a few billion spacefaring newbs getting an equal share in a thousand year old civilization just 20 years after they learned it even existed because they had 1 really cool dude. No, seriously, he was really really cool.

Have we heard any Angarans speak before? Based on the one in that video I'm imagining that the whole species speak in cheerful Cor Blimey Guv'nor accents, which would be amazing and horrifying.

I like that some of the trophies allow you to do something in either single or multiplayer to get them.

Also yes, spoilers, but I assumed that was implied since trophies have them all the time.

The British working class didn't share the economic benefits of the empire and were often made to go and die in foreign wars to maintain it. The first people subjugated by imperial overlords are normally in the same country.

Much like my child prince Ryder will seek to reign supreme over the poor sods trapped at his mercy in Andromeda.

Flak cannon, looks like - don't be fooled by the name, it's a rocket launcher.

Tech also has a unique passive tree, Team Support. As the name suggests, Team Support is all about making your companions with you stronger - increasing their health and damage, reducing their cooldowns, etc.

The best joke Bioware could play is if the alien sex scene stops halfway through because Andromedans have completely different sex organs.

"What the gently caress is that?"

"That's my dick, don't your males have penises?"

"No, procreation in my race is accomplished by having the female penetrate the male's birthing pouch with her ovipositor and implanting her egg. The male's genetic material never leaves his body."

"Wait a minute, I didn't see anything that looked like that when we were fooling around a minute ago!"

"Duh! I already told you only our females have them."

You joke, but a developer for The Old Republic explicitly cited this argument when explaining why all the romance options in that game are mundane humanoids with human features as opposed to more exotic options.

There was a scan of the page in the art book for the angara that said they had very human like facial features so that the players would easily empathize with them. There was also a video feature on the design of the kett where concept art was shown and the one they went with was a human with a rock on its head for the same reasoning.
