Is Mass Effect Andromeda Dragon Age in Space?

I like to know this as well

There isnt going to be more than one protagonist; there's going to be two distinct characters that exist in the setting and you simply play one, like in FO4. As for being able to directly control squaddies, I don't see any issue really, so long as the AI isn't trash and followers actually stick to commands ( I said HOLD dammit).

The only game i'm aware that has more than one "protagonist" is Agents of Mayhem, where you tag-team with three characters. *shrug*

There are plenty of shooters where you can switch between characters, Clive Barker's Jericho and State of Decay comes to mind, but no, I think it's unlikely for ME:A. ME series has been traditionally dating simulators with mediocre cover shooter mechanics beneath.

And Divinity Orignal Sin

Imo, one of Dragon age's biggest faults is switching characters every game. So please don't ever ever do that in my beloved Mass Effect !

I don't think we will be able to switch between the siblings but i'm making a wild guess that in some missions we might be playing as the N7 Father.
Also i am almost certain that we will be able to customize the appearance of both brother and sister regardless of who we choose to play as.

It hasn't. I think it's pretty clear there is an implied "if" to my response. Also given that the OP started the thread comparing ME to DA it should be even more obvious.

I don't think it was "pretty clear" at all.  And as Bioware itself has said they don't think of the three Dragon Age games as a trilogy, the comparison to DA doesn't do a lot to make it obvious.

But anyway, my reply was a tongue-in-cheek response a la poster #2.

"I told you to attack that guy. Why you're not attacking that guy? I know I'm weaker, ranged character and you're mighty melee... BUT FOR MAKER'S SAKE STOP THAT STRANGE DANCE BETWEEN ME AND YOUR (supposed) TARGET! FINE! STAY HERE!

...
Wait, where are you going?"

Oh, and don't forget enemy AI, which wasn't that much smarter. -special mention: wolves and hyenas getting stuck in walls during MP matches-





Please, no repeat

So the first part that ISN'T the OP question - we do not switch protagonist in MEA. At the 'start' we choose either the brother or the sister. So they are, technically, two generally distinct people in the world but we don't swap between them in the game. Tweet made that more clear (even though it was kinda clear originally) when people asked few days ago.

As far as the actual question (opposed to the misinformation) I doubt it? But it's possible. Original ME1 designs had us not really having control over party members like that but there was a tactical cam similar to DAI. Least that's what they showcased originally. It kinda let you drive around away from Shepard and tell squadies to move to locations and whatnot - they dropped that idea obviously. Kinda like they dropped it on console for DAO and entirely in DA2. But for DA that was because they 'didn't think they could do it right' so considering thats changed maybe?

Either way, doubt we'll control squadmates directly. Not really that kind of game. Unless they decide to make actual 'tanks', dps'ers and healers then theres very little point to it. What're you gonna do, swap characters so you can shoot guns instead of what your currently doing, shooting guns? The ability to pause and call out a specific ability from squadmates (which we could already do) is all you actually need in that style of game.
