And just to have a record of Jo's tweets...

Happy #N7Day! For #teN7, here are ten fun tidbits from Mass Effect Andromeda's Codex (and elsewhere):

1. The kett in Heleus speak a dialect called Tonaizhet, "speaking correctly." It's derived from 'tonired' ("speech and mind as one").
2. During his early iterations, SAM created artwork to help him learn facial recognition. One of his pieces can be found on the Tempest.
3. The Movie Night quest was inspired by "stone soup" fairy tales.
4. As the angara rebuild their star charts, rediscovered planets are given a number and the prefix "Pas", Shelesh for "find / discovery".
5. The black hole at the centre of the Heleus Cluster, H-012 Ketos, is believed to be the source of the cluster's abundant element zero.
6. No one knows exactly how the Tempest's laundry works. Suvi once dropped a survey probe down there for a lark. It came back clean and dry.
7. According to sources, the kett homeworld is called Sarhesen. The name appears to literally translate as "centre of gravity".
8. A number of Heleus systems are named after explorers. Tecunis is named after the first salarian expedition to reach the Citadel.
9. The director's cut of "Last of the Legion" was banned by the Palaven censorship board for "multiple scenes of poor trigger discipline".
10. As SAM records, the Nexus leadership has heard rumours of "some giant Remnant construct burrowing through Elaaden's desert"...
... but they've dismissed those claims. 🙂

I don’t have the kind of armory that I used to, but it felt appropriate for the day

Happy #N7Day, everyone. It's crazy to think I started helping to blow up the Normandy SR-1 about 9 years ago now.

That would be my guess, since I remember Bioware talking about all the problems that came with save imports and how the Dragon Age Keep fixed all of that so were considering making something similar for Mass Effect. 

Even if not used for that, I guess it allows players to show others who their protagonists were and what they did.

I asked Fernando this and he replied:

Similar to DA's Keep, even if some/none is used in game, it should be a faithful record of key choices & fun way to explore other options
