Yeah, a point that can be a huge what the gently caress is that all conflict resolution done previously is pretty much irrelevant for Andromeda, but the player perspective will probably be completely different from the characters. But then again, since it is a reboot (even if they say it isn't), hopefully they can manage a whole new bunch of interesting takes on how the races get along.

A place like Skyhold only works if you can fast travel anywhere or have a room where you can summon a character. Still, would be too drat big. Also, yeah, another RPG contrivance full of poo poo: why the gently caress you have to go around to talk to everybody when you are the authority? Can't I just have a "tell X to meet me here ASAP" function? Come on devs you have or had bosses you know how it goes

"Save the World" is pretty much Bioware Standard Practice™ - one of the most promising things of Andromeda (that might be totally shot down in flames by the looks of it) was that "the initiative is about being explorers and settlers", which would be actually novel and interesting for them to make.

I think a well-developed scenario in which Control is actually the viable winning condition would have been pretty interesting too. The Catalyst would have been something entirely different imho (perhaps an artifact from the leviathan planet) in which you could have a rad reaper infiltration mission to implement it costing you war assets and such.

Just watched the Andromeda trailer and it looks like there is good spaceshooting to be done along a nice soundtrack (very similar to Behavior which is cool). Promising MP at least? However the moment that it showed Ryder scanning and trailer voiceover guy saying "IT WILL BE CRITICAL FOR YOUR SUCCESS" aw come on. Also, the disarm interrupt was lmao

Don't poke too hard or it will come crashing down. I didn't care much for the backstory of ME but the whole "look at how much poo poo was done in like 20 years since first contact" and how it fits in comparison to the rest (Zaeed was a pretty good example) and ehhhh I think someone lost the pacing here Bioware

Owlofcreamcheese posted:Yeah, except the ending of mass effect 3 could leave everyone dead or as weird cyber robots or with shepard as an immortal reaper swarm god. Going back to the milky way would require deciding a lot of twisting things around to show anything and pretty much never could fit with the possible universes the last game left with. I was thinking myself that it would be much more likely that it would involve copious amounts of spacemagic - call it a dimensional rift or whatever - that sends people back to the milky way but a million years into the future which has nothing recognizable in it because of exactly the reasons you mentioned.

The problem is that the Ryder children are too young and... Meh-ish? Son Ryder looks like a buffy the vampire slayer cameo - wait, that was the point, wasn't it? Girl Ryder seems more capable, but in a Dora the Explorer sort of way. And yes, Shepard was based off a model, but the guy at least looked like he could have been in the navy for two or three years

IMO, Sara looks much better in the latest material released than at first (though it may be just that I am getting used to her appearance). Boy Ryder still gives a bit of a cringe for some reason (maybe the fact that he looks like a coldplay cover band vocalist I dunno). BUT of course the RPS preview said that the animations are a tad janky in their build, so I look forward for her face going spastic or something when she decides to do a  or something(or even better a  )

RBA Starblade posted:I guess for me part of why I liked Shepard or Geralt so much was because you already start at the level of "competent and seasoned". I mean I'm sure it'll be fine, I just like how he looks more. Which makes a lot of the stuff you are trying to pull more in-tune with the character archetype they are going. As one poster said before, it would be really interesting if Bioware could actually capitalize on the protagonists inexperience not just in the practical matters of the mission, but at life. A sci-fi coming-of-age exploration/rpg game has a lot of awesome avenues of development and a waterfall of interesting stuff to work with, which would be Cool and Good. But being Bioware, expect thousands of in-jokes, a tumblresque "lolrandom" character, ryderkids being Mary Sue characters with miraculous competence and tremendous amounts of hilarious cringe, such as, for example, when the DA:I cast breaks into song after an obvious Act I reversal of fortune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgYxMVRtJr4 (Dragon Age should have been planned as a musical from the get-go)

I think that the slightly stylized look may be the one to blame here, no? Like someone else said before, some characters like male Ryder look like they come from a Dreamworks production. It isn't realistic enough to go "gee they should really have worked more on that aspect" but just so to put these uncanny reactions. And that Cora comparison yeah, it doesn't make any favors to them lol

Skippy McPants posted:Cora, probably. Initially hostile, learn to co-operate, leads to sexual tension, etc., etc. how come Bioware never fully goes beyond this poo poo On the top of my head: Aribeth from NWN, Miranda, Jack, Cassandra, Morrigan, Bastila, Ashley, Isabella, Samara... ...Counterpart is the "fawns all over yourself", which again, from the top of my head: Aribeth (again), Liara, Leliana, Tali, Kelly Chambers (the psychologist from ME2), Morinth (possible subversion though), etc The most well adjusted are Chakwas, Josephine and Vivienne, so I guess they are going in the right direction after all these years?

So I just read the other character descriptions for the first time and that Cora (aka undercut polemics girl) was supposed to be pathfinder?quote:After a career in the Alliance military, she served with Talein's Daughters, an Asari commando unit, as part of a Council inter-species integration scheme. She is second-in-command of the human Pathfinder team and Alec Ryder's appointed successor, so it's a little odd that one of the Ryder kids gets the Pathfinder job instead of her. So if you play as guyRyder not only she loses the job (NEPOTISM) but he gets to romance her too? guddamn suave, tiny
