The archon so far feels almost beat for beat like the Didact from Halo 4. He has a booming voice, he's seen in the middle of some strange... thing and the remnants remind me oh so much of the prometheans. I'm not saying it'll be 1:1, just that I sense a bit of Schlerf reusing his ideas. That is a good catch! I agree.

Oh yeah...That awesome Collector's item I can't afford. Actually don't mind me, I'm still quite salty the we don't actually get a proper Collector's Edition.But anyway... Even if I could afford a luxury like that, I am not even sure it is available in my country. Judging by how the Bioware Store casually excludes Greece from its shipping list. I doubt I'd be able to get it so...Whoever buys it , have fun and take it out for a spin for me too

The debates between fanboys are the main reason to go to the character forums. Didn't the Miranda fanboys end up getting the character forum closed for a few years on the old BSN? But off the topic of debates here, scrolling through I see a lot of talk about the Salarian pilot perhaps being an option of sorts. I didn't think Salarians entered romantic relationships? They only live for ~30 years and their processes are on overdrive, if Kallo was to fall in love with Ryder, he'd be out of love by morning, they just aren't wired for that sort of thing. All they care about is getting a good breeding contract so that their next generation is smarter than they are. ...and that is PRECISELY WHY a Kallo romance would be awesome! Because it would be a totally new experience that would defy the whole way his species works.

I would love to experience it as a Human. Spend a month touring the Citadel, having a great time, go sightseeing,socializing with all the species I could ,see Shakespeare with the elcor cast, enjoy movies (Blasto marathon, Vaenia, Fleet & Flottila etc), I'd visit Sha'ira for counsel , a Biotic Spa for pampering and I would flirt with every male Turian I could

It 's one of those necessary plot holes in all sci_fi I guess. At first , it bugged me too but then I realized it's for the better . The answer to why every species almost is biped is actually easier to explain and accept. Panspermia. Voila. It just makes sense that since the laws of physics, chemistry etc are universal, the circumstances for the evolution of bipedal life forms are similar. If there are similar planets to Earth ,similar life forms may emerge.
The language thing? I mean to an extent the Universal Translator works very well as a theory. The alien speaks, the human receives in real time the spoken word in their language.Which means there are two voices being heard simultaneously. In the game, it would be very annoying. Anyone ever watched Vikings? If anyone has ever watched that show , we see everyone speaks English but IRL they speak scandinavian, old english and old french etc... But for the viewer, when new characters are introduced ,scenes sometimes start with the actors speaking their real language and few seconds later it transitions to modern english. It would be cool if we got the Vikings deal. Like first time we saw an Angaran we d hear them speak their language and later transition into english.

Possible? Yep. In this game though? Probably not. Maybe in a sequel. I 'd love for the franchise to return to where it was actually "born" , I know now it is messy and counter productive for Bioware to go anywhere near the MW right now but... I just cannot imagine this franchise NEVER returning EVER to its origins. It 's sad.Just as sad it will be for all the individuals on the Arks leaving their homes and knowing everyone and everything they ever knew is dead because it s been 600 years .Well unless we re talking about Asari or Krogans Anyway, you get the gist of what I 'm trying to say. What can Bioware do from now on? -It's either continue going anywhere else apart from the MW. -Just end the franchise sooner. -Or finally return somehow narratively to the MW.

That is a very interesting notion.
I would like to see what the Scourge really is. At first I thought it would be a natural phenomenon,now I am not so sure. Neither do I think it is "made". Rather a a very dangerous natural phenomenon that CAN be manipulated into a ...weapon? I dunno... Just pure speculation .

Where do you live... lesbian land or something? Clearly Cora isn't a lesbian....... "Lesbian land"...lol No. I actually live in a pretty conservative area and I have probably seen like one openly lesbian woman. But short hair cuts in women are pretty common ,from young to old.It 's just trendy I suppose. The women with those hair cuts are usually very well dressed. Actually a girl in a store accross the street has exactly Cora 's haircut and it looks cool on her. Men with long hair are not considered "gay" by the public so I don't see why the opposite is an issue. Edit : I saw it was just sarcasm hahahah

Ironically the BEST party banter I remember and still laugh my ass off was taking place in DA2. One reason I loved the game despite bit being very mediocre was the banterand character interactions. Due to the nature of the ME games,there was never much banter going onlike it does in the DA series but I would LOVE to have rabdom banter .It seems more suitable since we will be spending time exploring planets and vaults. I'd hate it if it was done in silence.

The negativity over Cora 's hair I see almost everywhere is just way much of an overreaction. It's funny how brain works ,if u guys think about it it's all about the hair. If someone hates a haircut or associates a certain haircut with things the don't like,then the person with the haircut becomes aitomatically ugly. I bet if Cora had a blonde ponytail like Sarah, a bun like Ashley which implies she has long hair or the same side part but longer than the shoulders then NO ONE would complain. They'd say she is one of the hottest squadmates ever. And they keep saying it is boyish...When was the last time anyone stepped out the house and actually saw a guy sporting that haircut? I have seen some but they were mostly alternative looking (goth for example or ...a football player? ) but it is certainly not an average boyish haircut. On the other hand , I see plenty of women with similar haircuts everyday almost. It's way more common in women and than in men. Edit:Added comment.

I think it kind of defeats the purpose of Bio changing the setting to Andromeda. They have stated time and again that Shepard's story is done...and his/her story was inextricably tied to the Reapers. There's just no benefit to rehashing the old. Who said anything about Shepard and his/her story? Yes the Reapers are part of the MW but the MW is still a place that exists even 600 years later no matter what the fate of its worlds and inhabitants. This thread has absolutely nothing to do with Shepard and anything and anyone related to Shepard. Only about ancient Milky Way races existing hundreds of thousands of years before Shepard's time. You can't rehash that which hasn't been there in the first place. Protheans wpuld definitely be a rehash because we already know them well enough ,but what do we really know about the arthenn,zeioph,inusannon,densorin,oravores etc.? They are just as much as a mystery as the aliens of another Galaxy. Calm down my beautiful people,it is just a theory The Milky Way isn't the boogeyman who will magically tarnish and spoil Andromeda's story.

Well one reason is obvious. The writers wanted krogans in ...The games has krogans. Another reason is that I actually haven't seen anywhere that races other than the Ark specific ones are actually banned from the AI. So there should be some random individuals around.

I think I laughed more than I should with that Def Leppard reference Anyhoo, maybe a trilogy like ME would be cool to happen at some point. Just like ME seems to be taking a more DA route this time . A simple switch just for change.

Sounds legit, I can't see why the odd cheeky comet couldn't get flung between galaxies carrying the seed of humanity about. I also think the Archon referring to us as 'special' has something to do with vault tech and it's dna coded locks and mechanisms, then again, I could be (and probably am) way off the mark and am theorycrafting a very wrong scenario here lol. As long as it's not like the Reapers seeing humans as special and using their body fluid to power-up a Reaper. If The Archon needs us for that, then it's just Reapers 2.0. I highly doubt it, but maybe SAM is part of the reason the Pathfinder is special? Maybe us humans being always special somehow has to do with our genetic diversity as it has been mentioned in the games before.

I am.
This is actually the first time a game I have been waiting for years is coming out and the first time I am playing a game on release and I' m aboard the pre-release hype train.
I usually play games years after release. Well ,that is because I stopped playing video games in 2003 and started playing again in 2010 and more seriously in 2013 so you can understand I missed the release of most awesome games and ended uo playing them later .
I only played ME for the first time in late 2013.
This release is actually a HUGE freakin event for me. Honestly, there will be champagnes on March 21st haha and maybe a cake to celebrate!

In the latest cycle ,the one in the Trilogy, a Reaper invasion is imminent, Sovereign was the one left behind to observe yet somehow the Andromeda Initiative has been in progress for almost 10 years and not only that , it actually manages to leave the Milky Way despite that. I know it launched after Sovereign but it was under progress for years. Also about my "facts" statement. I was referring to the Milky Way's existence ,not that my theory is fact. I didn't make that clear. I wanted to say that, no matter how behind some fans are eager to leave the MW behind ,it is still there as is its history which will be available to every one visiting or living in the Nexus. In Mass Effect aka space magic where things like Synthesis,the Reapers,the resurrection of a dead person are possible , it is VERY possible that MAYBE an ancient spacefaring civilization,before the Protheans managed to reach the point of being able to also send an exploration team outside the Milky Way. Never said there "are" any civilizations in 2180s capable of intergalactic travel who would meet us there. Only proposing there could be remnants of ancient MW explorers (e.g. the arthenn who I think were extinct like 300,000 years before the events of the games) and went to Andromeda long ago and are long gone by the time we get there and that those "remnants" are either The Remnants themselves or have had an influence upon them. Taken from the Wiki: "The arthenn flourished across multiple worlds in the Zelene system some 300,000 years ago. Their homeworld appears to have been Helyme, a dead planet where all complex life was wiped out in an unknown cataclysm. The third planet in the system, Epho, was mined or otherwise settled before these settlements were wiped out by kinetic impacts. The system's outer gas giant, Gaelon, was the location of a complex helium-3 mining infrastructure. Material debris suggests arthenni technology was equal to the current galactic state-of-the-art." When the lore is based on "space magic' and breaks itself most of the times,anything is possible. Only a writers decision away.It was under progress because Sovereign lacked any means to bring it's brethren from dark space. It was trying for decades, maybe centuries, as Vigil tell us. And yes, space magic breaks itself, and it has many times on Mass Effect. And that's why I said I want to forget it, because putting the species you mentioned on this game will just make things worse. And that means, if you have a whole new galaxy to explore, with a lot of new cool aliens, why revisit old ones we've heard about? The writers, as you yourself said: wants to leave behind the story arcs and characters of the ME behind , not the lore itself.We already have a great deal of lore carrying on. Why would they give themselves this extra work to put an Milky Way species there and bother explaining why they are there in the first place if they can just ignore and put new and interesting alien mysteries? Why complicate if you can start anew? And if they don't bother explaining why they are there, then what's the point? How would we even know, as characters? And that's precisely because it would be an even more ridiculous moment to contradict the Reapers and their threat that they should stay away from this. Start anew. Create Andromeda with their own stories and let the Milky Way behind. Same thing with Cerberus, for those still clinging to it. There are a lot of cool things they can do in the game, new aliens, new stories, new civilizations. I don't want to explore what has already been mentioned or show. I want to see where Mass Effect can go and grow from there. I fully understand what you are saying and where you're coming from. You're trying to say that bringing anything from MW to a new galaxy is complicating things. To an extent I agree, since they left the trilogy behind anything reffering to Shepard n' squad and Reapers should be left behind. Well it is in a way , Andromeda departs before the sh$t truly hits the fan but everything up until the departure still is as we knew it. Bringing back an mysterious extinct alien race that lived almost 1/4 of a million years ago for which we literally only have 10 lines of text and no other info will not complicate things just because it comes from the Milky Way. Just because something in the story may appear that is related to the MW doesn't make Andromeda s story complicated or less mysterious.To me those very ancient Milky Way races are just as mysterious as the new races in the galaxy we're going to. They are all unknown races so equally interesting.But that is just my opinion.

Another interesting tidbit from the wiki about the Zeoph .Another ancient MW race. "The zeioph were an ancient spacefaring race that built millions of elaborate crypts on the surface of the planet Armeni" Millions of... elaborate ...crypts. Like those Remnant vaults we 'll be exploring Just wanted to clarify ,I don't accept as fact that Remnants are an ancient MW race. I just put it amongst the many possibilities.Just that.

This is not about what people want or don't want to forget. It is about facts.As someone else wrote earlier, Bioware wants to leave behind the story arcs and characters of the ME behind ,not the lore itself. That lore is history and it will be available as knowledge on the Nexus hologram libraries so the later generations know where they came from. Some people are taking the moving away from MW a bit too seriously. Even though the events will take place in the 2780s and in the MW one of the 4 endings has taken place ,the MW still exists , all or some species still exist in some capacity depending the ending we choose. Shepard and his squad may be "ghosts" but that 's it. Even if you headcannon that the Reapers exterminated every space faring civilization ,the MW was still 99% unexplored and I presume therenwere many primitive and pre spaceflight species that the Reapers left alone. Point is , the Milky Way will always be there should Bioware ever want to go back and it wouldn't hurt anyone if that happened. Back to the topic , there is another potential ancient race I forgot to mention, the tho'ian or thoi'an. To be honest, there could be a huge number of races that might have gone to another Galaxy between any Reaper cycle. In a 50,000 period anything could be possible since the Reapers avoided harvesting speciea that weren't advanced. Ok, then tell me how anything lorewise, as you put it, in a period of 50.000, with a reaper left behind watching for advancement of space faring species could have left the Milky Way to go to Andromeda? Where are these facts, then? What is the most logical conclusion? We were a special case because the protheans stopped the Reaper invasion through the Citadel relay, and Sovereign got destroyed trying to reactivate it. And only after that, the Andromeda Initiative launched. It's pretty much very implausible that there are other galactic civilizations in the Milky Way with enough technology to do this trip and meet us there without anyone knowing. In fact, even the Ai is cutting edge technology, never heard of before, with their ODSY drive cores, and we, humans, of course, because we are special. And yet, if you're so inclined to believe that, nothing is stopping any other spacefaring species from other galaxies from showing up in Andromeda as well. In the latest cycle ,the one in the Trilogy, a Reaper invasion is imminent, Sovereign was the one left behind to observe yet somehow the Andromeda Initiative has been in progress for almost 10 years and not only that , it actually manages to leave the Milky Way despite that. I know it launched after Sovereign but it was under progress for years. Also about my "facts" statement. I was referring to the Milky Way's existence ,not that my theory is fact. I didn't make that clear. I wanted to say that, no matter how behind some fans are eager to leave the MW behind ,it is still there as is its history which will be available to every one visiting or living in the Nexus. In Mass Effect aka space magic where things like Synthesis,the Reapers,the resurrection of a dead person are possible , it is VERY possible that MAYBE an ancient spacefaring civilization,before the Protheans managed to reach the point of being able to also send an exploration team outside the Milky Way. Never said there "are" any civilizations in 2180s capable of intergalactic travel who would meet us there. Only proposing there could be remnants of ancient MW explorers (e.g. the arthenn who I think were extinct like 300,000 years before the events of the games) and went to Andromeda long ago and are long gone by the time we get there and that those "remnants" are either The Remnants themselves or have had an influence upon them. Taken from the Wiki: "The arthenn flourished across multiple worlds in the Zelene system some 300,000 years ago. Their homeworld appears to have been Helyme, a dead planet where all complex life was wiped out in an unknown cataclysm. The third planet in the system, Epho, was mined or otherwise settled before these settlements were wiped out by kinetic impacts. The system's outer gas giant, Gaelon, was the location of a complex helium-3 mining infrastructure. Material debris suggests arthenni technology was equal to the current galactic state-of-the-art." When the lore is based on "space magic' and breaks itself most of the times,anything is possible. Only a writers decision away.

No, I want to forget the Milky Way. In fact, I will roleplay as if the Reapers wiped out everyone again. Let old ghosts rest. This is not about what people want or don't want to forget. It is about facts.As someone else wrote earlier, Bioware wants to leave behind the story arcs and characters of the ME behind ,not the lore itself. That lore is history and it will be available as knowledge on the Nexus hologram libraries so the later generations know where they came from. Some people are taking the moving away from MW a bit too seriously. Even though the events will take place in the 2780s and in the MW one of the 4 endings has taken place ,the MW still exists , all or some species still exist in some capacity depending the ending we choose. Shepard and his squad may be "ghosts" but that 's it. Even if you headcannon that the Reapers exterminated every space faring civilization ,the MW was still 99% unexplored and I presume therenwere many primitive and pre spaceflight species that the Reapers left alone. Point is , the Milky Way will always be there should Bioware ever want to go back and it wouldn't hurt anyone if that happened. Back to the topic , there is another potential ancient race I forgot to mention, the tho'ian or thoi'an. To be honest, there could be a huge number of races that might have gone to another Galaxy between any Reaper cycle. In a 50,000 period anything could be possible since the Reapers avoided harvesting speciea that weren't advanced.

I know they want to move as far away as possible from the MW but let us all admit it.They cannot truly escape. The title itself of this game is based on the MW, and they said there will be nods and references.Our heros are from the ME,the cannot automatically delete that from peoples minds like that.
Also linking MW with Andromeda using a very ancient,obscure species for which we literally have no info on isn't something to hard to achieve,nor complicates things much. Also, MW species being in Andromeda doesn't strictly mean they were refugees of the some previous Reaper cycle, just like the Andromeda Initiative . They are supposed to be explorers with no knowledge of a Reaper Invasion.
Think about it. Protheans are recent so it may be far fetched...But Arthenn and Inusannon ,could be very possible.
To sum up , I think that ancient MW species migrating to nearby Galaxies is not that far fetched. If Council species could realize such a huge plan for exploration in just 9 years. Who is to say an older civilization didn't achieve it before the Reapers eliminated their cycle and set the tech back to primitive?

We know Bioware really chose Andromeda as a narrative easy way out but at the end of the day...Is it?
Trying to explain and shoehorn the AI into the ME lore and narrative to me is just as hard or maybe even harder than simply continuing after ME3 bu picking a cannon ending or just figuring another way to possibly undo the of wear off the effects of the Destroy,Control, Synthesis endings.
If you think about it , AI creates more possible futures holes . I am hoping to dear life , the game and other media(books) does a decent job to explain a few things in a way that makes sense.
