Ainsley McTree posted:I want batarians in Andromeda so that they get a chance to be something other than the punching bag of the universe in-game. I've been replaying ME1-3 and every time the batarians show up or are mentioned, it's either to try and kill you, or to be killed horrifically by something else. Like in Arrival, the tacked on DLC to bridge 2 and 3, you very casually kill 300,000 batarians offscreen and it's just kind of like "eh. worth it." Zane posted:bioware teaches us important social lessons: racism is bad but batarians and vorcha are the 'bad ones' and must be exterminated Batarians and vorcha do get a bit of image rehab towards the end of ME3 and surprisingly through multiplayer. There is the encounter Shepard has with some batarian refugees where it turns you can come to a peaceful end to some bad blood and get batarian survivors on board with the alliance. Batarians in particular get painted as being a sort of North Korea in space. It's ruled by a lot of militant totalitarians who keep everyone down unless they have a value to the regime like the slavers or terror squads. When you start encountering "average Joe" batarian in game they are usually happy to get along with people. With multiplayer batarian and vorcha mercs get added into the game which leads to them popping up in the background chatter of Citadel. There is a funny bit where a human infiltrator and a vorcha sentinel are complaining about reckless teammates. Of course it helped that the batarian and vorcha multiplayer characters were pretty bad rear end. You had insane regen on the vorcha and a flame thrower or a build with grenades. The batarians were bags of hitpoints that shot spikes and their heavy melee was very satisfying to use. You could even use an aspect of the game engine to do some rather fun power sliding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eTaCRQNH6g

There's also the news tidbit where Alliance soldiers decline to warn friendly batarian forces about, say, banshee ambushes in an area. And use medigel on geth rather than batarians, always conveniently running out of medigel, thermal clips, and food just as it's the batarians' turn to resupply.

Were those on that Alliance News twitter account or background chatter?

Ainsley McTree posted:Hopefully I can just cheat if i hate the grind Some of those upgrades look really good, too. Like the six-wheel drive to let the not-Mako climb near-vertical walls just like the original Mako. That was a godsend back in ME1 and it will probably be useful here, too.

You create a player base that cares more about dating sim titillation and they will follow on those likely gross desires no matter what it takes. Especially when Alan Is More Upset posted:That launch trailer sure is the new poo poo. Also, peep the twitter feed with everyone bitching about male vs female protagonist screen time.

Mix a Jug with EDI bot and you had a great start for doing Gold/Platinum. I loved the Juggernaut class and I hope there's something like that in Andromeda.
