It doesn't make sense as lines would have been written and recorded ages before animations were finalized. Here is some more choice dialogue I heard in playthroughs of Mass Effect: Andromeda --

"I like to eat lunch, not be it!"
"You can't be a pathfinder without having pathfound."

It's not so good, Al.

I quite like the second one.

No, it's a critique of multiethnic polities in a democracy and the inevitable fall of the USA and EU without immigration controls and deportations. Now that Ryder is taking up the [strike]White Man's Burden[/strike] humans' natural leadership role things will improve from the chaos of letting other Council races squabble as notional equals.

note that the krogan are a race of brutish thugs who once threatened to displace native populations by immigrating en masse and outbreeding them

Ah gently caress, I forgot about that, thanks for reminding me. I had already heard about that one but it still stunned me when I encountered it in person.

Like, after playing multiplayer for a bit I have more faith that the mechanics are solid, but I'd be loving amazed at this point if the plot is good.

It is inevitable!
It's weird. I'll be enjoying it and then something really forced happens (You'll peg the story beats for the first little arc, to the letter), or some outrageously bad dialogue comes up, or someone does a goofy walk, and it'll drag you screaming out of the moment. And then it's back to being fun and fairly slick and interesting and the characters might even be a bit likable, until it screams into a pit again.

It's mostly fine I think. Until it's really not.

Also, just play as dudeRyder this time. It's not that the ladyRyder can't act, but dude fits the script much better.

For all the flaws though, I don't actually have much idea about what the overarching plot is going to be, and I'm interested in some of the mysteries and I'm definately interested to see whats going to happen, so I'm on board.

It's just an idea people have tossed out, and it drat well better not be the case. Having a fully sapient AI riding along in your head is weird enough in a game like ME, but having that AI be your dead Mom would be... way too hosed up.

I take it back, maybe this game isn't so bad after all. I chose a default character, Sara Ryder, and I'm about 4 hours in and it just keeps getting better. I'm at the first outpost thing investigating, and biotic jumped onto my ship and someone radioed me 'Really, Ryder?'.

e. Also, I love the way the biotic powers work. Best since ME1.
