There are no DLC party members. A seventh one was planned (a salarian I think) but cut in development

quote:

"Mass Effect Archive" is a save import/export feature not unlike Dragon Age Keep. Andromeda's save file can be uploaded for, assumebly, future Mass Effect titles.[1]
Other ark names include Pachero (Salarian), Lunisia (Asari), and Natanas (Turian).[1]
Smallest planetary zone in Andromeda is larger than all of Dragon Age: Inquisition.[2]
The squadmate with the least amount of dialogue has more than all of Shepard's in Mass Effect 3.[2]
Nomad can swap between fast rear wheel drive, and all terrain six wheel drive.[/2]
The big theme for the game was 'fulfill the promise of Mass Effect 1.' - Ian Frazier, lead designer.[3]
Noveria from Mass Effect 1 used as a point of reference for how the open planet playspaces and mission are constructed. "Imagine a Novaria where you find a whole lot more than just driving from point A to point B, from the cool big hub and the other cool big hub." - Ian Frazier.[3]
Conversation tones include emotional, logical, casual, and professional. These replace the binary paragon and renegade.[3]
Additional conversation tones sarcastic, obedient, or skeptical noted.[4]
Ambient companion dialogue as you drive around.[3]
Nine preset heads exist within the character creator, across a variety of races and genders, that can be customised.[4]
Background training chosen during character creation, eg: security, biotic, technician, leader, scrapper, and operative.[4]
Environments designed with cultural and biological needs of the inhabitants who live there.[5]
Far more work has been put into writing behind the general crew of the Tempest, beyond your squadmates. Crew interacts with each other over the intercom.[5]
Attempting to make character interactions and relationship development more nuanced and made up of shades of grey.[5]
Timeline confirmed to have the Andromeda Initiative leave the Milky Way post Mass Effect 2, but pre Mass Effect 3.[6]
Exploration and open play begins right with the prologue. Given key goal, but area is open enough to do some exploring, engage in optional encounters, make discoveries, etc.[6]
Quest log fully details objectives and events, including the ability to go over a summary and see the decisions you made.[6]
Securing one character's trust could come impact another.[6]
Drack is the "antithesis of Gruny", older, wiser, and matured.[6]
Vetra is warmer than Garrus, and joined the Initiative with her little sister.[6]
Crafting blueprints organised into broze/silver/gold rarity category, and are purchased by spending "research data", which is accrued via scanning the environment to expand your codex.[7]
Weapon mods can change the way weapons function, such as adding burst fire to a shotgun, and lasers to an assault rifle.[7]
Galaxy map is used to scan planets for anomalies. These can result in simple resource acquisitions, to unlocking either open planet zones (with vehicle exploration) and smaller on-foot zones.[7]

So, is this "Drak" bangable? I've always wanted to know how you're supposed to kiss a Krogan

Milky Moor posted:

seriously andromeda is the fourth goddamn mass effect game and the squad is still

male vaguely-swarthy human
female career-minded human
edgy turian
brainy asari
tough krogan

i guess they swapped out the nerdy quarian for jaal, whom we know nothing about whatsoever

it's not only safe, but it's blatantly aping ME1's party.

if i was inclined to dumb conspiracy theories, it almost feels like there are people on the ME:A team who really don't like certain elements of Mass Effect: quarians, geth, hanar, elcor, batarians, etc.

Go back to Witcher 3 if you can't handle the fact that your protagonist doesn't need to be a straight white male

incredible. re: quarians not only did the species known for their general excellence with ship maintenance run into "technical issues" but they're also bringing along a whole bunch of different species, which seems to be a very strange choice given the whole weak immune system/different bio-chemistry thing they have going on

really

Oh thank god you posted this, I didn't check the username and was about to faintly agree with him.

That said, John Walker is a contrarian rear end in a top hat who gets in fights in the comment section so yeah take everything he writes with a grain of salt.

So I've hated all the Mass Effect games but then a bunch of friends said they were getting this for the multiplayer so I thought I'd check it out. The stuff at the PAX panel looked good. But this thread, what is it about bioware that attracts broke brains?

Nazzadan posted:

Can we stop making fun of the guy that thinks there are bioware shills on somethingawful.com and talk more about how this game looks like poo poo?

Ainsley McTree posted:

I'm still looking forward to this game but I cannot defend these faces they look like poo poo

Maybe the heleus cluster has an environmental condition that gives humans puffy skin

Or maybe it's water retention from 600 years of cryo sleep. Yeah. Yeah that's what I believe
