Bioware said that there will be further interaction between the two siblings during the game. And about characters past, BW did emphesize that they want the character to be a pretty clean slate. Shepard was already an experienced soldier at the start of the saga, but this time they want the character to be an unexperienced one. This does not prevent the character to have a past and a story. Although I have a feeling that we will find the characters pre expedition background mostly through the books... It would be great if they let us decide three possible backgrounds of your family relantionship. Such as: 1) If we have a great family relationship. You and your sibling entered in the Alliance first, and after completing the training, you two were asignated to Andromeda Iniciative or you two chose to be in the Iniciative following your father's indications 2) If we only have a good relationship with our sibling. You got separated from your family for a while, living as merc or as a security officer in a colony. You kept the relationship with your sibling. Your sibling convinced you to apply for AI. 3) If we broke the relationship with our family completely. You went on your own. Maybe you got mixed to criminal actions. You got caught and you were sent to prison. Then, your father used his influence to put you in AI.

Cool thread. I was originally hoping dear old Dad Ryder would bite the dust early on (no daddy issues plz) but all these funny ideas (horrifying Alec with your alien waifu, shipping him and Jien, etc...) have changed my mind. Bioware must simply show Captain Hadley/Mr.Krabs reacting to Scott's new Turians girlfriend. Alec Ryder against love insterests: -Human LI squadmate: "You can't romance a member of your team, Scott/Sara. That's wrong!". -Salarian LI: "So... how much time that Salarian has left? Have you thought about that?". -Turian LI: "I have friends who got kill because of the Turians. I almost got killed because of the Turians! First Contact War, remember?". -Asari LI: "So... how much time YOU have left?" -Synthetic LI: "... you are dating SAM??? Now you say that, I'm dating my OMNITOOL, duh!" -Krogan LI: ".... you are dating WHAT?" -Andromeda LI: "We've just arrived here! WHEN you got married and who is that alien in your ship?!" -Quarian LI: "Oh, do you know what an Ardat-Yaksi is? Lexa told me. They are Asari who kill with sex. I guess you are the Human version". -Sibling LI: "NO. STOP. NO JOKES ABOUT THAT. NO".

The liir are a dolphin-like people am i right? It appears to me that their so called feminine side equates to nothing more than pregnancy, giving birth, and nursing while their so called masculine side equates to mere impregnation. Far different from us humans who equate femininity with softness and masculinity with strength. That would be taking a very broad stroke to the Liir and their depiction in the setting. Whatever role the Liir take up determines their use of pronouns and which gender they identify as. The caretakers, and other 'soft' roles, as you put it, are associated with females while those that involve the use of force or the taking of a life and other 'strength' are associated with a male gender. The Liir are of course fluid in their identities, and their chosen role changes depending on their role in society. That sounds pretty Qunari to me. However, why we tend to equal softness with females and strenght with males? I don't recall that is a pattern in Mother Nature, I mean... I wouldn't call Lionesses, female bears and such "soft".

You know you've entered the Twilight Zone when Bethesda is now making sexier companions than Bio. As for Inquisition wasn't a big fan. I was told the artist wanted to make them seem realistic? but I never got that impression. To me character models in the Mass Effect series looked far more realistic, could've had something to do with the fact a lot of them were based on real people, but yea they looked more realistic. Inquisition characters something about them seemed cartoony. Dorian especially looked like he walked out of a Monty Python skit or the British villain from a Disney movie, and I couldn't help but giggle everytime I saw that face in that outfit. I romanced Bull instead. The Advisors and Blackwall looked alright though. Viv looked ok, until you took off her Maleficent horns, the way her head was shaped like a peanut combined with her widened jawline, yeah more cartoon-like exaggerated features than realistic. Advisors were the best looking defo. Well... that is subjective. I mean... my sexy companions are a Ghoul who cosplay like a historic figure , a synthetic noir detective and... yeah, Paige (finally someone laughing with my horrible jokes!! ). Altough, I agree with you there is something more realistic in ME character models than in Inquisition's, but I think it's more about the engine than the character design. For instance: I feel ME1 and ME2 are more "real" than ME3, even when the models and the engine of ME3 is vastly superior. Why? Because in ME1-2 I don't see something too realistic. So my head rapidly adapts to the medium I using. Like it happens with cartoons in TV series or movies. However, in ME3, Bioware wanted to be more realistic. The use of lights, the design of the background, the details... are much better. The models look better. But sometimes, when they don't look that great, that immersions breaks easier to me. Like watching that Final Fantasy movie or the CGI in Star Wars Rogue One movie: it's easier to mix that image with the looking of real things so when that imitation is not perfect it's more obvious than other ways.

There is a benefit to having the same core cast of characters through multiple games. It provides more opportunities for the writers to develop the characters and their relationships to each other, and more opportunities to get the player invested in their stories. I know I'm not alone in being a bigger fan of the Mass Effect squadquates than any cast of a DA game. The only comparable characters from the DA series, although not entirely so, are Leliana & Varric. On the other hand I'd hate to be stuck for three games with a cast full of characters I dislike. If Peebee for example really is Sera-in-Space, I'm not sure I'm up for seeing her in more than one game. In my case, at the end it doesn't matter because even if you dislike the character, s/he is your squadmate. I have a Shepard who truly didn't like Liara. From ME1 to ME3 (even the beautiful gift of the space-time-capsule, she was kinda of "meh"). But at the end Shepard felt Liara was "ok" and she would have killed anyone who hurt her because only Shepard could be an ass with that Asari. So I basically created a Human Javik now I think about it...

Not gonna mention ME3 because that's too on the nose. Clementine (a 12 year old girl) having to stitch her own arm up after a dog bite in The Walking Dead Season Two. The ADULTS locked her in a shed because they were afraid it was a walker bite. You gotta run the needle and thread yourself via QTE I was about to say that!!! Followed by the most badass sentence: Still. Not. Bitten.

I don't know, man. It will feel like Final Destiny kind of thing. Don't know anything about that.Before getting to the Citadel, Anderson tells Shepard that Jenkins has been reassigned to another unit. The next time he is seen is on the Citadel in ME3. He tells Shepard he will be handling security for Udina. Ashley/Kaidan remain on the Normandy instead of being in the hospital. Shepard encounters Jenkins during the coup Edited: Final Destination, the movie(s) Hrungr : Exactly! The hardest secondary mission of all three games! Bringing Saren down is nothing in comparison. There are the Reapers. And there is THE Reaper...

I can just imagine that moment, 10 minutes into the game: 'oh... bummer...'When they remake the trilogy, hint, hint, he doesn't have to die. Just heads back to a rendezvous point for the Normandy to pick him up after meeting Ashley. I don't know, man. It will feel like Final Destination kind of thing. Being worried about Jenkins in every cutscene. In every secondary mission. And then, finally, at the end, when Sovereign attacks the Citadel, a piece of debris smash him... or maybe at the beginning of ME2, when the Collectors hit the Normandy SSV 1 Now I think about it, it will be great if Jenkins inevitable death was something randomized in the trilogy. You know it will happen, but you don't know WHEN

Well, now we have to wait for the reveal and see wthether they choose poorly, or done the scan job poorly, because I seriously doubt any underwear model would look that plain. Anyway, I won't be playing Sara, but I'm sure lesbians will and I bet they'll be oh so happy to have some average looking female scan of MC when compared to very handsome male MC scan. All we need then is reveal that all female human LIs are ugly and we have DA: Inquisition Against Hetero Men and Lesbians 2. I sincerly hope it won't happen, but you never know with BW. You mean women in general, women who likes women in particular, or men who will play Sara preset are also included? We all are lesbians? I'm confused I missed this thread SO MUCH...

He needs some hair on his chest. I don't get the whole man-scaping thing. I mean, is he hot stuff? Oh yeah. But....the bare-ness of him is turning me off for some reason. Also, he's going to be my brother I don't like the guy either, but I liked Scott in the last trailer a lot, and yes, BROTHER, it coud be so wrong if I don't get fast the sibling-feeling , I hope as soon as he opens his mouth he tells sara something "brother-ish" enough to insta-kill every possible sex-appeal Or at least that there's someone hotter than him around... what's the point in making super hot brothers and sisters, really? Amen. I hope the first time he speaks I would have the urgent necessity of punch him in the shoulder while stealing his equipment the same way Sara did it when they were kids with that volus toy. "Sara, that was my toy!" "Suck it, I'm older and that toy is mine". "Sara, that is my sniper rifle", "Suck it, I'm older and that sniper is now mine!".

So... the next briefing will be about the Nomad and the Tempest, won't be? Jien Garson's briefing: 1) Nexus and Arks (checked) (around the 7 of December I recall?) 2) Ships and Ground Vehicles (maybe around the 7 or 9 of January) 3)Colony Guide (maybe around the 7 to 9 of February) 4)First Contact Protocol (7-9 March) + 5) "In addition, the ones accepted in Pathfinder program will receive special trainning in guns and biotics" (so maybe a couple of weeks later, the ending of march? The same way we have the mini trailer with dad Ryder)

Bioware people already said that Andromeda is not a trilogy or series, every game's story starts and ends and so the protagnist's story starts and ends so they won't keep the same protagonist That's not what they meant, exactly. They talked about story arcs. They said we will have a complete story arc each games. You can do that with the same protagonist or not. Think about a TV series with that pattern. All I can remember is Fringe: Each season of Fringe was planned with a season mystery revealed at the end of the season. In addition, the end of the season planted some other new mysteries. If the show was cancel, you could have thought the series have an end. If the show would have keep for another season, you have the new mysteries planted before. Edit: Of course, by the end of the season 3 we have a consistent mythology of the show, the characters and their backstories. No season was isolated from the others. The key part is having something autoconclusive just in case.

This thread Nothing wrong with a brothel conceptually, though it sits more easily in the Dragon Age setting in my view. Logically, a 'frontier' port, as seen on Kadara may have one or more. Whether the plot takes Ryder in there, or whether any brothel has prime 'street front' is a matter of writing and is neither necessary nor unnecessary. If there is a brothel I would expect it to cater for all requirements. But given that Ryder is hardly going to be short of companionship, it may simply not be 'needed'. Has to be said, the 'nug option' was my favorite in the Pearl... Brothers don't suit Mass Effect any worse than Dragon Age. Where you have people, you have people having sex. Where you have people having sex, you have people with needs and fetishes they're uncomfortable with sharing with every day people, in and out of relationships. When you have people with out of the ordinary needs and fetishes that need to be fulfilled, you will have people who're willing to accommodate for a fee. When you have people who want sex for the least amount of hassle possible, you will have those willing to accommodate for a fee. When you have people with varying levels of anxiety wanting to have sex, you will have someone to accommodate them and their feelings for a fee. You don't need to be a frontier space to have a brothel. Swingers clubs and swingers parties are everywhere. Prostitution, legal and illegal, is everywhere. Any setting revolving around people and social interactions, be it Middle Earth,modern Earth, or space, it'd fit unless it's one of those settings where everyone has evolved beyond baser needs and urges. Edit: Don't worry, Scott, you are safe, bro.

I only realised that Franz Drameh was a fellow Brit when watching Residue on Netflix. Far more used to seeing him with an American accent in Flash/Legends of Tomorrow. Completely forgot he was once of the characters in Attack the Block (coincidentally along with John Boyega). Of course, this assumes Liam's voice actor even shares the same ethnicity as the character, which might not be the case at all? Stever Cortez's VA was a white guy, I believe. I think he is Latino descendent? (Matthew Del Negro) source: www.behindthevoiceactors.com/video-games/Mass-Effect-3/Steve-Cortez/ But I agree we don't have to assume anything; Ash was white and her voice actor, Kimberly Brooks, is black: www.behindthevoiceactors.com/video-games/Mass-Effect-2/Ashley-Williams/

So, are we going to be the master of all four elements six classes? Are we the chosen one? Pathfinder, the Last Ghostryder? Also, I didn't like the fact things will be different depending on if you play with the bro or if you play with the sis. 1) As others have pointed out, I don't like the fact we are going to have a preset personality for your PC. I could understand that with your NPC sibling, but with the protagonist? I don't know, maybe that will turn to be great. We will see. However... 2) I'm afraid when a game developer says they want to make different experiences between male/female protagonist, that tends to be reduced to "sexual harassment for female protagonist" (there are very few examples of that with FShep. They are very scarce, but there are). 3) I want to have sense of humour. I hope they don't use the card of "one sibling is more stoic while the other one is the witty and funny one", especially with the protagonist. If Sara is stoic as NPC while Scott is more sarcastic as NPC, that's OK, but with the PC...
