This game should've never released / should pretend it never happened

Let me put it this way. METs system was concerned with morality, Andromeda s was concerned with personality.

If all you want is a baseline neutrality, you might as well be playing a story on rails where you just click through dialogue to get to the next battle.  All the roleplaying that’s currently happening is made up in the player’s head - as the consequences are all basically the same (military vs science = who cares / they’re just placeholders that do nothing).  

The personality system is just smoke and mirrors - the illusion of choice by a lazy dev team that no longer have to connect loose threads because all the threads are connected to the same result.  Yeah, you can choose science or military for example, but the difference between these two... is essentially identical to picking different colours at the end of ME3.  It doesn’t matter.

To me the personality/dialog system was not well developed. There's no progression mecanism of Casual/Emotional/Logical and Professional traits, there's no a count mether in this such options, that will reward you if you developer such trait, and THIS is the most flaw for reduct the replay factor to me. And this is why you don't fell the progression in game.

I quite liked the dialogue system in Andromeda as well.  It let me roleplay Ryder in several different ways, and I wasn't forced or punished for choosing one dialogue option over the other and could switch between personality of lines.  In the OT, which I loved the Paragon/Renegade system, I always played a Paragon Shepard, but there were times and situations where despite that, the Renegade response or interrupt was called for based on the personality of my own Shepard... however I always felt like the game was punishing me for doing that and that is absolutely silly.

In Andromeda, my Ryder is sarcastic and a jokester.  He likes to lighten a tense mood and doesn't take things overly seriously.  However, he was in the Alliance and grew up with a strict father so he knows when to be serious.  When I talked to my crew or most people, I used sarcastic or emotional dialogue choices.  When I spoke with Tann in the beginning, when I met the Angara, talking to Archon or in other scenarios, I was very professional and serious.  I was never penalized in game because of that switch in personality, which is how it always should be.

I also realize having a voiced protagonist puts limitations on what the dialogue system can be and I think Andromeda found a fantastic balance for that.  Honestly, I'd love if ALL role-playing games could have dialogue like Fallout: New Vegas as an example where there is a large plethora of things to say at any given conversation ranging from optimistic, inquisitory, rude, forceful and downright sadistic.  I thought that game's variety of options for the protagonist was superb.. however your character isn't voiced.  It had that flexibility.  Andromeda found a way to maximize dialogue options and variety of responses all while having a voiced protagonist.  Some options weren't there that some people wanted, but I found it to be pretty good.

FO NV has great dialogue choices, agreed -- wish we had a bit more variety in these new VA RPGs. Like, just one more option that is a little meaner or rude or whatever. Doesn't have to be sadistic.

I also recommend using the casual/sarcastic options in "professional" situations bc some of those were I think the best Ryder sasses a bit.

Spending their time cutting people off in traffic. 

Hehe, they have no problem doing both.  :sure:

Aw, sounds like someone is mad.
