70 hours in, i cannot get most of the complaints. At all. UPDATED OP#2

70 hours in i cannot get most of the complaints. At all. 

Some thoughts not coherently written as i am on work and i am stealing time to write this wall of text. 

Been taking my time as i am about to go to kadara port but i only have eos 98%  and in havarl i did the vault yesterday.
My feelings as of now are that Andromeda is one of the best games this gen, next to witcher3 and Inquisition .
(mind you i ve played almost all AAA games and exclusives on my ps4, NOTHING compares to an rpg for me.)

This game sure it is different than previous Mass effects to the point it s not tightly story driven, but no open world is.
Taks are fetch quests named taks but at least all of the have something to say however ireelevant. there is some dialogue in them. This is an improvement since inquisition.

All other quests are on a high point from bioware for me. Especially Vault assignement on Havarl was a fantastic quest. Huge, complicate and made sense. It lietterally led me through the whole planet. i had a purpose. There is definitely improvement than Inquisition where the main story missions were all not tied to the various zones. 

I simply cannot hear any bad dialogue or bad deliveries (sure there are some but this game has endless dialogue everywhere in 
The dialogue is on par with Bioware;s consistency. I do nt hear so far any cringy lines. 
The delivery of the dialogue is greatly done although i can hear Vivienne and Cassandra's voice actor ( ) and mother Giselle in many npcs
The infamous Addison tired face was so blown out of proportions. Such a fuss was made from the content of the phrase " my face is tired" when in reality it 's just a line. When i first saw that scene i said " that was it??  that was it??  
this is nothing to whine about ". The facial animations although not perfect are not something to whine about. In e32017 all conferences i saw many AAA games with worse facial animations: State of decay, Assassins creed Egypt to name a few. Yet i bet my ass noone bothers to mention them.

I initialy did not like the Angara as the whole first contact with them was rushed but after a while i really like them, They are distict, they gave personality and they fit Mass effect.

The animations are on par with inquisition and this is not a bad thing. My ryder (a custom one whose face i really dig with the limited CC) takes some classic bioware cowboy epic poses whcih i cannot get enough. They are not fluid like lets say uncharted but these are games with different focus. Even witcher had similar quality animations in my eyes.

The companions: I like all of them, still i want to give them time in the future installments ( i want to believe theere will be).
In retrospec past trilogy characters grew as games passed by.
Still:
Vetra has all the caliber(no pun intended)  to be a next garrus. I really dig her. Love here voice actor - her voice - her reaction to romance is priceless
Peebee is great. She is NOT another Sera (nothing wrong sera imo). FANTASTIC VOICE OVER.
Suvi and Kalo are great.
Liam, i cannot see why people dislike him, is it the accent? He has his moments.
I like all the companion to the point i really want to know them. 

Update#1: Holy amazeballs! i am on voeld doing the quests and it feels great. There is a huge backlog of quests there but it is really manageable to tack them on if you roleplay ,which i do all the time. I don t get lost in the quest log at all. In fact i find the quest log to be an improvement to Me3 and inquisition. So far all the companions make pretty interesting dialogue. they give me the impression they get to know each other. i dont find anyone bad or boring companion so far.  

update #2 :some thoughts:

One thing Andromeda fails is the geography, map design, landmark design. I kinda like the planets (the themes) ive been so far but something is missing in all of them. the geography is boring. the level-map design is boring. The vistas are not there. the landmarks are not there. it is not that they are barren cause Hissing waste and Western approach were barren but also very beautiful.

Also a big fail immersion breaking for me is the flaura and fauna. There are boring as well. The fauna... consists of what??? a jerky moving raptor and some huge ass beetles?

Storm coase on inquisition did not had any meaningful questline but it was a beast to look and roam at! too many landmarks, too many steeps but interesting ones! i remember the river that poured into the sea. I remember the views from above. everything.

This alone made storm caose one of my favorite zones in inquisition. i always was eager to go there.
