Do you save the world in this game? They haven't really given a time line of this game at all. They might need to start young so it makes more sense for them to be still alive in mass effect andromeda 3 that is set 50 years later.

World being Arkship, but probably. Seems like that dude that they ran into in the trailer just released is gonna gently caress up the Arkship some how. Your idea of time line makes sense through and scaling younger at the start makes sense.

It does open up some nice possibility through for sequels/side stories where different Alliance races go off track over the past 600 years, get weird, and show up either as a antagonist or a new species to interact with.

She's pretty good. There is a feeling of quite tragically under the calm facade after talking with her for a little bit. The rules that she follows and her backstory make it sound like she willing follows the code just to give her life some purpose.

Birds have light, hollow bones so if turians are bird aliens that tracks.

Bird/Dinosaurs aliens. Really did like the original races design where there is a clear difference between races that where predators compare to prey.

quote:

Turians typically stand over six feet tall, have two long, proportionately thick fingers and an opposable thumb on each hand, each tipped with talons, and a set of mandibles around their mouths. The most distinguishing feature of turians is their metallic carapace, which contains trace amounts of thulium. The turians evolved this trait as a defense against the greater levels of solar radiation that penetrate their homeworld's weak magnetic field.

Turian features are avian, making them resemble humanoid birds or raptors, however unlike most Earth avian creatures, turians are viviparous and give birth to live young. In 2165, David Anderson claimed that turians reminded him of the evolutionary link between birds and dinosaurs. Turians are also recognisable by their voices, which have a distinctive flanging effect. Males and females do not differ greatly in physical appearance, but female turians lack the crest of horns found in the males of the race. The lifespan of a turian is comparable to that of a human.

Turians exhibit the characteristics of predators rather than those of prey species (compare to krogan biology). Their forward-facing alert eyes give the impression that they possess outstanding eyesight and their teeth and jaws mimic the structures possessed by apex predators such as crocodiles or ancient, carnivorous dinosaurs. Needless to say, their talons on both their feet and hands seem capable of ripping flesh. As such, their diet is primarily meat-based. Their slender bodies also seem to suggest that they are also capable of moving at high speeds.

Its worded really bad but its basically saving that the Multiplayer can only help you in the single player instead of being required (at launch) like at ME3 to get the war assets for high enough for the best outcome.

Actually I thought they might have been Nakmor Kesh, Superintendent for the Nexus. But previous shots of her are different from this Krogan. It could still be Kesh and they changed the model, or maybe this is a different Krogan and she's the engineer for the Tempest, idk.

That's a shame, cause a female Krogan teammate would give a nice and different perspective of the species/genophage to interact with.

Combat doesn't look that great, but that could be because the AI seems completely braindead. Hopefully it's because they're playing on a lower difficult or something.

I honestly think it gonna be alot of dumb meatshields but with the ease of switching skill sets and causing triggers/explosions with your teammates is going to be the focus. So real flashy with a lot of feedback of flying bodies/dead mooks everywhere.

I'm randomly pissed off that 90% of posters think that rich folks wouldn't fund space exploration even then it has no possible payoff within their lifetime. That's not just demonstrably wrong but really frickin cynical.

The smarter you are, the more likely you are to care about alien life and space travel. It's magical and awesome, and it has nothing to do with payoff at all.

Peter Thiel would fund it just for the chance to get some of that sweet sweet alien blood and live forever.

So that trailer said the Kett are "visitors, just like us," so either they were talking about a particular planet the Kett aren't native to or the Kett came from outside Andromeda.
