I'd be surprised if Quarians aren't in Andromeda.

Well, I submitted an application for the multiplayer Beta

Forgot what my N7 score was and my Xbox 360 is in storage so I had to flub it and said it was 554 or something. Hope I can still get in.

BTW, since I haven't seen it in the thread of OP, if you go to https://www.masseffect.com/andromeda-initiative/training-hub and watch all the videos that will probable come out in the next 5 months, you can get a sweet in-game helmet.

But the Mass Effect galaxy isn't. There are inactive Relays, whole sections of space that can't be reached because there's no way to get there.

But let's just do a massive construction project and fire it off on a six-hundred year journey, because...


The Citadel Council pretty much banned unlocking Relays willy-nilly, doing that was what started the Rachni Wars and Humanity trying to do it started the First Contact War. The AI is a privately funded endeavor that, to me, pretty much says "oh, you won't let us explore the other 99% of the Milky Way? Fine, we'll go to another galaxy and explore/expand there."

I wish Bioware wasn't so stingy with in game skeletons. It's what limits them to humanoid aliens. Blizzard has a unique skeleton for each character in Overwatch which is crazy.

But they're all humanoid too...

Forgive me if this is an off topic, but there has been something that has been bugging me for a long time.

In Mass Effect 3, there are these incidental conversations that make up their own subplots. One that sticks with me is on the citadel, where you have a Batarian refugee and Human refugee sitting together. Basically, the human dude is reminiscing about his time on earth, while the Batarian is barely tolerating him. Eventually, the Batarian lashes out, which is one part annoyance and another part him being distraught over his own planet, which was being stomped on by the Reapers.

I never caught the end of that conversation series. Around that time I heard about the ending being disappointing and that kind of sapped my will to play, as good as the game generally was. What, if anything, was the followup to that?

It's been a while since I played ME 3, but I believe that the Batarian Refugee recalls where he was when the Reapers hit his homeworld (he was working on a Satellite and had front row view of his planet getting invaded) and the Human Refugee tells where he was (fishing on a boat when one of the Reapers almost landed on top of him). At the end the two bond, and the Batarian Refugee decides to see if his family made it off world and the human decides to enlist.

Doesn't the OP say that the MEA Team do not want to make the Kett the overarching Bad Guys like the Reapers were?

Actually, if you can believe a tweet from Mac Walters, the Andromeda species that has both genders will be represented in the game.

Even though ME3 left me super disappointed, I'm on the hype train for Andromeda. I didn't really like DAI because of the combat and all the pointless filler busy work that was on every map and I'm secretly scared that Andromeda will have the same thing. :ohdear:

I made my peace with the Mass Effect 3 ending, I liked Inquisition, and though Trespasser was outstanding. So I'm looking forward to Andromeda as well.

if this game is DA:I but in space I'm totally buying. should I play the other Mass Effects before this comes out? I figure I might pick them up as something to do after finals and they might be on sale as a part of the Black Friday sale on Xbox so it could be a worthwhile investment

Play it, the games mostly hold up and you can get acquainted with the Milky Way Races

That's because the other DA games are bad.

That said on PC Origins I just used a mod to unlock all the tactics slots and make the conditionals more complicated. Turns out a mage that knows how to cast sleep into waking nightmare on my target and chug a mana potion at low mana consistently is as useful as an AI needs to be to not need supervision.

Anyway, everything mentioned in that update sounds like a laundry list of things I don't want to see in the game. It's basically what developers do when they've run out of actual ideas and want to get in on that hot rear end open world gameplay gimmick that everyone loves. The entire point was that ME:2, the best game in the series cut away all the mindless bullshit and presented you with objectives that in large, always meant something valuable to either the story or you as a player.

What were you expecting when the main idea behind ME:A is "explore a new galaxy?"

It already has the Loyalty Missions, the thing that made ME2 good.

Watch them find a way to sneak Quarians/Krogans/Hanar/Elcor/Volus into the new galaxy, as stowaways or them sending another ark or some deus ex machina poo poo. Haven't thought exactly how'd they do it though. ME3's story was so bad and lovely when I wanted it to be good :(

The Nexus, a Citadel-like Arc housing a lot more people than the 4 arcs for the Humans, Turians, Salarians, and Asari, went ahead of the other Arcs.
