As long as they don't take away pausing for the player, I'm ok. I love pausing, not just to plan my next move but to just admire the scenery.

I find "precursor technology we barely understand and cannot easily replicate" superior to "we figured out how to make tech on par with the Reapers in less than a decade without even knowing there were Reapers"

Could be nothing about ME, but posting it anyways

Edit: looks like it's another va work not related to Mass effect, if anyone thought that. Jennifer Hale also replied to one of the comments with the nda va stuff saying that she's not involved on the NME.

The Mudskipper is our terrain exploration vehicle. We are supposed to "skip mud" with it. Shocking, I know. So it's going to hover close to the ground. Not the kind of ATV that the Mako was, greater freedom of movement than the Nomad. Jetpacks will be used to reach remote/high locations and potentially maneuver through dungeons, kind of like the dungeons in Anthem. Seems like we're going to be grinding for gear drops and I really hope that works better than Anthem. Maybe Christian's work on Anthem Next paints the way for a properly good loot system. Even so, they have the time till 2023, when the prototyping will be over*, to get it right. *God willing So it's a new Hammerhead? I wouldn't be against that. I'm one of those weird people who preferred the Mako to the Hammerhead but I liked the Nomad more than both of them because it seemed to have the best of both. I liked the Hammerhead's speed and maneuverability but hated that it would explode if you so much as glared at it. If this Mud Skipper is the-Mako-but-hovering like the Hammerhead, I actually like that prospect. I thought both the Hammerhead and the Nomad were dumb The games they're in we have flying shuttlecraft that are superior in every way to a hovercar and a dune buggy. It's the same as the problem with the stupid dune buggy chase in Star Trek: Nemesis all over again. Who invented this pointless vehicle and why? Mako is fine because it's a heavy armored tank/APC and covers tactical purposes that a lightly armed and armored shuttle doesn't. Also because they simply didn't make shuttles yet in ME1. but yeah, if they put another vehicle in the next ME game it should actually serve a purpose that the shuttle doesn't.

Also because they simply didn't make shuttles yet in ME1. but yeah, if they put another vehicle in the next ME game it should actually serve a purpose that the shuttle doesn't. I think it does. You'll probably fly it low in forested areas that you won't be able to reach them with a shuttle, due to foliage and to handle ground troops, which shuttles aren't equipped to handle, or volcanic areas that have thick smoke clouds and prevent flight in higher altitudes, due to limited visibility. Or planets with heavy winds in higher altitudes. etc. etc.
Again, extrapolating from what has been relayed to me.

So, this is the thread where we can muse upon we think the next ME could be?
Maybe they jump the setting forward a millenium or so. That allows Andromeda to happen and be rolled into the Milky Way without creating a direct sequel to MEA.
This allows Krogan, Quarians, Geth and even Batarians to be alive, regardless of the assumed ending, since they all went to Andromeda. (Yes, the Geth went. They supplied the crazy, long-range visuals and bank-rolled the Ai. They are the Benefactor, and are present in Andromeda sans hardware platforms.)
Jumping more than a few decades ahead effectively turns the focus of the setting on its head. The OT was not just about Reapers, but about humanity, our rise, and our finding our place. That story is told, more or less, by the end of the OT.
With humanity no longer the focus by default, this might be the game in which they finally please the crowd calling for non-human protagonists. It won't please all of them, since there must be limits. At the very least, I'd expect the four "Council Species" to be playable. If it were feasible, they could make a fortune selling us additional species; but something like that is way beyond the reach of DLC packs.
I really have no idea what they're planning. As long as it's a single-player Action RPG built upon what came before it, I'll be eager to see what they do.

I don't think that's viable, on its own. Not saying they won't do it, which they won't, but this is a game for, effectively, nobody.

I didn't really pitch any sort of story, though, that I'd need to sell. I said, "I don't know what they will do." I just described a world state that would jive with that trailer and allow them to either ignore (timeline advance) or undo (look, X species is back) some of the damage inflicted by poor planning in the OT. It's up to them to devise a story. I might enjoy imagining possibilities, but I'm not really interested in writing up a long "what if" here and now. I'd rather be playing MELE or hanging with my dog. (It's the latter right now. )

Which reminds me something Luke Barrett told me a while ago in a different thread.

It's kinda funny in a way though, and bear with me if I'm misremembering the plot of MEA (haven't played it in years), but it's kinda funny that both the OG trilogy and MEA was about a race of species that were trying to "uplift" or "evolve" other species. The Reapers used the genetic materials of the races they conquered to make things like the Keepers or the Collectors, meanwhile the Kett also used some kind of genetical engineering to make other races into Kett. Is it just the story of the OG trilogy being retold again but in a different setting (kinda like how episode VII of Star Wars is basically a retelling of episode IV) or is there an actual connection between the Kett and the Reapers? Can't see how it would be possible, but who knows.

Can't see how it would be possible, but who knows. I remember a theory that the Reapers tried a different solution in each galaxy they reached to see which would work. In the Milky Way, it's the harvests. In Andromeda, all the races are preserved in a single mix that being the Kett.
