I don't think you could call it terrible.
It wasn't distracting, it never detracted from a scene or prevented me from hearing something important. It never took me out of the mood. Most of the time you don't even notice it.
That's not bad music, that's just subdued music. The music was there to fill it's purpose and it did. Unlike the trilogy it was never centre-stage, never the focus. In Afterlife, Virmire and throughout ME2 the music is centre stage, loud and designed to set the atmosphere. In Andromeda it's simply in the background. It's not good by any stretch, but I can't call it bad when it was never a focus and I can't even remember it. If it was terrible I'm sure I would remember it.

This game "really had to deliver" after the fiasco of ME3. Are you just going to keep moving the goalpost? Nothing is riding on MEA2. If it turns out to be better than 1 it'll be a happy accident. Why? Despite the controversy Mass Effect 3 was very financially successful. If I remember correctly, It's multiplayer in particular was a huge cash cow for the company.

Mass Effect Andromeda is the worst rated Bioware game by professional and user critical consensus. Across all three platforms it averages a 74 metascore, likewise its userscore is lower than DA2. Bioware seems finished. The "biggest" game they've ever made is a critical flop surpassing sonic. Moreover, it's been two weeks since launch and EA hasn't said a word of it being a success like they regularly do with games like Battlefield or other EA titles - I predict this game is also a commercial flop. I wonder if Bioware is going to be dissolved, if they do I won't be losing sleep tbqh. That just tells me that their older titles, particularly DA2, were over-scored by critics.

I'd keep the squad and crew but add some new characters as well. Two new squad mates and two new crew members should help the cast feel fresh while not destroying the family-like bonds formed over the last game.

I keep meaning to ask the people in the romance threads, PM's and such if they play multiplayer on PC. It would be nice to have some I know (kinda, at least) to play with. I played ME3 MP twice... was not that great at it even though I used to just absolutely murder people in Halo. Of course that was a long time ago. But not being able to pause in MEA I think has made me more reactive, which is good. Maybe I wouldn't be so bad at it? I don't have any interest in playing online with strangers though. That's why I'll only play if some of you guys want to join me and chat Just never enjoyed playing online with people I don't know. Prefer to play with friends, IRL or online. I actually got really into Mass Effect 3's multiplayer, before the ending killed my excitement for the game and franchise as a whole. I've enjoyed what I've played of Andromedas so far, but I haven't done much yet. I'll add you on Origin, at least. If you don't mind.

We should recruit more people into our BioWare skype cult. Just saying... I love cults! Actually I'd love to chat while playing MP. Preferably with people who are not very good at MP. So I don't get embarrassed... I keep meaning to ask the people in the romance thread, PM's and such if they play multiplayer on PC. It would be nice to have some people I know (kinda, at least) to play with.

I really like Avitus, but I'm not sold on the idea of another dead spouse / long term lover story.

A male quarian NPC who could become a squadmate in the second game sounds like the most realistic way to get what I want. God, I would love that so much. But I'm not holding my breath. Stop putting hopeful ideas in my head people!

Wow, all that hostility actually worked. I don't know if I should be happy or sad about that. Happy because they are working to improve m/m stuff, sad because of how it was demanded is being rewarded. To be fair, there was a huge range in how people criticized the m/m options and asked for feedback. Did they decide to make the changes because of the people who insulted them or because of the people who gave calm, reasonable feedback? Personally I'm just glad they mentioned it at all, and happy for the people who enjoy Gil and Reyes romances and wanted some of the issues with them fixed. It won't make me like the characters any more or make me want to try their romances, but I'm still happy they are doing something. Personally I'm more interested in seeing how they handle the next m/m romance they create, be it in a sequel or a DLC.

I don't think the news will be "Big". It'll probably just be an acknowledgement of the issues and a promise to fix the technical issues and some of the more serious animation bugs in upcoming patches.

As others have said, It's possible that the Jardaan created the scorge themselves. Or a splinter group.
What I find most interesting is how recently they were in Helius. If I remember right, It's implied / stated that they arrived, built their vaults, were hit by the scourge and left within the 600 years we were travelling to Andromeda.
I wonder why they built the vaults if the golden worlds were already golden when they arrived.

Wait what? bestiality? Are you fucking serious? I have read some pretty disturbing things on youtube and gamefaqs. The whiners find every reason to complain about the straight romances, outside of Cora being "ugly". I don't know if I should feel a sense of Schadenfreude that the people Bioware catered to now still hate them after taking a shit on a group that has often been vocal about supporting Bioware. There are rumours that not having a m/m LI in the squad was a deliberate decision because they were concerned about the response from certain players. If it's true then I can't help but laugh at the end result. Those people don't care and are still ragging on the game for including LGBT characters and calling it "SJW pandering", and meanwhile the people who enjoy m/m options are unhappy because their options are lacking. They managed to pleas neither group.

"Sorry guys, we screwed up (though we're happy with the specifics)! To address your concerns, we're introducing The Love DLC, which includes: - Lexi and Suvi romances for Scott, because every woman needs a penis in her life! - A mission for Gil, where Jill convinces him that the only way to maximise his breedablility is to transfer his consciousness into an Asari body. And also marry her. - New lines for your favourite companions, including "no homo," "I'm flattered but no," and "wow, Gil's so sexy now!" And much more content aimed at our desired audience! Boost your batter today!" "Why did you join the initiative?" "Back home, I was fixing engine cores in some dead-end job. People knew me as Gil. But that was never who I was. I knew what I could do and I knew who I wanted to do it as. 'Gilassaria T'Sexi, Andromeda Birth Queen'. That's me. Feels good. Feels right."

I had no idea who anyone were in Liam's mission and I already don't understand half of what Liam is saying when he talks so that didn't help matters. This is the one thing you've said in all of your threads that I actually agree with. Liam's way of speaking is really odd. I usually get the idea of what he's saying, but the actual lines often flew over my head. Particularly in his conversation with Jaal and the build up to his loyalty mission.

Thing is they'd have to get back ALL 6 other Squad members Voice Actors, AND both Ryders, to record banter for the Nomad I imagine that's pretty expensive compared to reusing some assets and a few no-name actors to voice a few new NPC's to drive some small story DLC's. They'd have to get back all of those voice actors for any story-driven DLC anyway.

For not trusting that doctor at Kadara over Oblivion drug research. That bitch of an asari tricked me. Calling her bluff was one of the more satisfying moments in the game. "Are you really willing to bet my life on this?" "Yes." "Fuck you."

Having a shoulders- up photoshopped stock photo and a full body model are two very different things. I've seen fanart that uses the canon design along with the more alien body structure that look really good.
I'm confident that if they ever do show them in-game they will look decent enough. But with all of the facial animation controversy it's the perfect excuse to make a DLC where the characters don't need facial animations at all.

What exactly happens if u spare the cardinal? Also, does taking primus deal affect the ending? Was wondering on that one quite long I think Primus's deal was bugged in my game. She offered me the help, Vetra said "take it, we need the help" and that was it. I was never actually presented a choice.

Mass Effect 3 already somewhat contradicted itself on Asari gender when Liara called one of the ancient Asari gods, a messenger from Athame, "he". If their ancient and predominant religion had male figures, presumably based on the protheans who uplifted them, they should always have had a concept of gender. That dude was a Prothean, not an Asari. Why does that matter? It shows that the Asari should always have been aware of gender as a concept, even before encountering other species, and that contradicts previously established lore about the Asari in ME1/ME2. So there has been contradictory information about this ever since ME3.

They are going to talk about the immediate problems, like the technical faults and the questionable animations. Those are the things that need to be addressed and resolved in the immediate. Anything m/m related will have to be in the forum of new content, which we won't be seeing for awhile. It's fine for them to put m/m stuff on hold for now. I know that a lot of people here care more about it than the other stuff, but they aren't going conjure up a decent solution to something so resource-intensive in a week or two, while the bugs and animations are both more important problems and much easier to address. I am hoping they will address the character creator though. whats wrong with CC? i've seen a lot of hot ryders, esp female ones. What isn't wrong with the CC?

Tali has an appearance? I even romanced her in one of my play throughs and I never recall seeing her face. Tali gives Shepard a picture of herself. Look it up. People were dissatisfied because it was a stock photo of a model with some photoshopping done to it. I don't know what you're talking about. There's no photo. :poker:
