The thought struck me watching the gameplay video in particular the charge segments and the blink and you'll miss it moment with the sword
Sword
Wielding
Vanguard
Mass Effect meets ninja gaiden
I am loving the idea the more I think about it

This already existed in me3mp with the slayer.
That being said, it is a lot of fun and should be in andromeda

swords...swords make everything better  Doesn't matter if it's sword wielding vanguard, infiltrator or engineer, if it has sword it's significantly more awesome  (and I really don't care that swords in this setting "don't make sense") |

And there's a shield too. I'll be able to launch myself wildly about like a human cannonball with sword and shield to hand. This makes me very happy.

And I disagree with those that say swords in the setting don't make sense since you can make a good argument for why they do. |

As said - N7 Slayer. Actually quite a few Vanguards were fun as melee builds - asariguard, kroguard, Cabal... Personally I'm looking forward to melee infiltrator like the N7 Shadow, especially if we can also take AI hacking or Domination with the same kit.  |

The interesting thing about the sword in the trailer was that just after the character dodged she immediatally used the sword against a dog, like it was an automated response. It might be a skill, which would point to the very fair assessment that the melee system will be more developed compared to ME3MP.
Which will all be irrelevant if we do not have a Sharpened Helicopter Blade in Andromeda.

I do hope we have some more in depth branching skill evolutions for melee, compared with the very simplistic "Fitness" line in me3mp. But that observation does sound promising. |
