it looks a little more cartoony, to be sure
if everything in the game is like that, it won't look as out of place at least
not so sure about 'good' though

Whenever new content arrives, there is an actual race to portray it as the gravest sin against AAA gamedom, each new screenshot or 5-second clip the surest indicator that ME:A will be Penn & Teller's Desert Bus but with more polygons.

you got points for each negative spin you're the first one to make, and the one with the most points at release wins a special prize

Jinkies, that OG Mass Effect thread is gold. Greatest post so far:

"Is there any way to make Shephard a white guy? I've gone through every combination I can think of and I can make him any race/ethnicity/whatever other than a white guy. The closest I can get is a persian looking dude. It may sound stupid, but I have a really hard time getting into RPG's if I can't make the character look at least something like me."

i hope this person isn't still posting

Solas even breaks up your relationship on his own. And he has clear motivations/his own agenda apart from the player character.

this is why romancing solas is the best option imo
also what i liked about romancing alastair if you try to king him, in that case it is possible to keep the relationship, but you have to actually argue for it and justify it

A staggering variety of ways, really. It's even possible for twins to have different fathers.

You might be thinking of identical twins, which are kind of already right out since, well, identical twins are both the same gender. Comes from the whole split from the same cell thing.

I'm wondering if the plan is to go to Andromeda and try to build a relay there.

I mean, according to lore that wouldn't work anyway, because you could have just used/built a relay capable of it and launched yourselves there in the first place, but lore consistency hasn't ever stopped them before.

i thought mass relays could only send you to another relay, though? like they make a ~magic space~ corridor of zero friction or whatever technobabble and so need two endpoints

The Paragon/Renegade system sucks very badly in ME2 because if you don't pick the same one roughly 90% of every time it comes up, you will fail a ton of dialogue checks.

I recently did an ME2 playthrough where I flipped a coin every time there was a Paragon/Renegade choice and I wasn't able to get anything done. Centrist Shepard Worst Shepard.

Torrannor posted:

Go-toh and the other droid squadmate in KotoR (not HK-47) are very non-humanoid and yet worked as party members. So I don't see why Bioware would only use humanoid squadmates. The Elcor and Hanar probably won't work in the fast paced ME combat, but BW could probably design an Andromeda race with four legs that's quick on their feet and can join us as party members in Andromeda2.

putting aside G0-T0 was Obsidian, it's also, like a floating orb with no real animations? the astrodroid whatsit didn't really have many animations either.

It looks like higher res and slightly different stuff from the ME2 colony missions.

Which... makes sense if that's an outpost from a lost milky way expedition, I guess.

Then again "generic prefab" is going to look pretty familiar regardless of what you do with it.

No, the conceit is that the Andromeda Initiative was conceived independently and launched sometimes during the ME series before the Reapers became known to the universe at large.

Presumably, this was done so that we could enjoy the game without having the people around us whine constantly about how everyone back in the Milkyway was turned into Reaper goo.

my guess is that they wanted to sidestep the whole 'refugees from a war-torn nation' parallel that is a hot-button political issue
