Mass Effect: Andromeda Pre-Release Thread

That seems a bit farfetched... I don't know if we "which is probably a reference to Sally Ride, the first American woman in space"

Oh.. nvm

Gender is a social construct. ME Andromeda will feature genderless characters.

It would be counter productive for Bioware to force their players to be one gender. Their speech is based on tolerance and genderfluid shit. No, your character will be a "being", an "entity".
But seriously, I think it's really boring that your character has to be human. I mean, I can be a cute twilek girl in Jedi Academy, why can't I be an autistic salarian nerd in ME?

You laugh, but a Geth protagonist would actually incline a BW game to no end: no romances, no followers' daddy issues to resolve, no homotional engagements to cringe through. Just XTREME collar grabbing and logical dialogue options that always end in NPC getting shot in the face as the most effective solution to every problem.

 

[Kem0sabe]

No romances? Wrong... You will have even more romance companions, everything from computers, to starship, to toaster, to live aliens humans and assorted wildlife, if you invest in the cyber cock or pussy upgrade paths.

You will have to scan planets to find the cock upgrades.

Cause they should rewrite dialogues and the main plot in order to match different races.

Because fuck the actual first woman in space.

They probably did.

Unless the Colony ship left before the ending of ME3. And they weren't affected by the green shit wave, like the rest of the galaxy.

Yeah, that may well be the concept. Reapers were about to invade, no hope in sight, so humanity sent out a colony ship in the hopes of preserving their race. Makes sense and avoids them having to maintain any of the previous choices. Fits with the commander shepard voiceover in the trailer too.

 

[Irenaeus II]

So, they stole VD generation ship story?

Nah, Bioware, on twitter, confirmed earlier the existance of a wormhole to the Andromeda Galaxy. So they took a shortcut and didn't had to fly for decades/hundreds/thousands of years to the other Galaxy. Because you know that would be interesting concept and Bioware can't have those.

 

[Irenaeus II]

Good to know. I didn't want an actually interesting concept corrupted by these tards

 

[Lord Carlos Wafflebum]

Wouldn't reapers use the wormhole then?

I find it fascinating the way Bioware seemingly cannot write in their established setting without some game changer happening. Same shit happened in Dragon Age and than BAM, Fade Rifts and all that nonsense. It's as if they're creatively bankrupt without some McGuffin to kick off their new story because actually working with already existing elements is so beyond their abilities.

 

[Kem0sabe]

They are still capable of writing some interesting characters, Solas for example is a relatable villain, and the subtle hints at his deeper opinions are well done.

Agreed, but that makes me rage all the more because either they're all idiot savants or they actually know how to write good characters but refuse to do so consistently.

I think they have some competent writers there, nut nowhere near the decision positions.

It is indeed fascinating (given the amount of money they have) and explains why their games are considered by the monocled connaiser as so internally inconsistent as to be little more than Saturday Morning Cartoon level that should be marketed to sub12 yo kids.

 

[Oesophagus]

If a tree falls in a forest, and only Bioware is there to write itself into a corner, is the tree bisexual?

 

[Irenaeus II]

Excellent question.

You are aware this is being developed by an entire different division of BioWare right?

Anyone knows of any difference between their divisions? I was under the impression they were a solid monolith of suck.

 

[Kem0sabe]

No i was not, i thought that there the mass effect people were collaborating with the dragon age people and vice-versa.
