Remember when ME was great?

The game had issues.  You "sjw" ideas are just bullshit.  You think that FemShep/Liara didn't come across the same way to people?  Wait, no, because they were sexy women so it was okay.  Which is why FemShep/Kelly was also fine with people.  BroShep/Kaidan did get some complaints because it stopped giving you titillation and appealed to some other people - even though it took nothing away from you.

You're just another "snowflake" who got butthurt due to being exposed to stuff that could happen in real life - even though it took nothing away from your own romance options.

Wrong board OP. Everyone around here thinks Andromeda is great for some reason.

Primarily the franchise was ruined by a bad writer. One in particular who should not have taken the helm.
Secondarily it was ruined by SJWs but not due to politics or due to the inclusion of non-hetero characters, but due to friendliness. Yes, that's right, BioWare cucked themselves in the writer's- designer's- and their every room allowing their newfound "inclusive culture" to govern how they actually treat each other and their work at work. They got too lenient and friendly and started doing shittier work because everyone's too "friendly" to hit the shit with the fan when it is necessary. Game dev isn't supposed to be "nice", not for the sake of being a dick but for the sake of being honest and candid in a brutal way if need be if it means a couple of smart leaders guide their fellow devs through a plan and then those fellow devs can hold them up to scrutiny. They still do this but from recent interviews with Alexis Kennedy and Mike Laidlaw to the actual output in their last 5 years -- and its sheer regression in quality, I'm pretty sure they used to be more dickish and straightforward about getting to the point of a critique rather than avoiding it in the past -- actually doubling down "Hey, this works but it's not impressive, fix it!".

Ever since DA2 and ME3 BioWare has seemed like a developer that too often goes "Is it good enough? Yeah it'll have to do." and that mentality was no more apparent than with Andromeda where it actually turned into a product even the sometimes complacent journalists reacted negatively towards.

I'm also against that stuff.  I hate, as a gay guy, being lumped in as the reason for "SJW propaganda".  For the record, the trans people I know want to identify as the sex opposite of what they were born, not the genderfuck stuff that seems to have overtaken it all.  Even Hainley Abrams wasn't such a problem being trans so much as her desire to run around telling everyone.  If you're going with that storyline, it needs to come out more organically.  As an infodump, it failed.  However, that's a writing issue, not a propaganda problem.

Apparently talk that that is heresy now...

I’m indifferent about the power wheel but I won’t be against its return. Better to have it and not use it than not have it and want it. I personally liked the flow of combat so if can use the left and right d-pad to assign a power instead of a spot (which I never did), that would work better but I have no desire to stop/start combat.

The lack of the powerwheel and only three assignable powers certainly wasn't at the top of list of favorite features either.  If you are going to make it so Biotics, Tech, and Combat powers can be accessed regardless of starting build, set aside a powerwheel with 6 to 7 assignable slots and let people go nuts.  Imagine having Pull, Throw, Invasion, Flamethrower, Concussive Shot and POC accessible during a fight and your only limitations are cool downs.  Now add on being able to control companion weapons (that you also build with resources), armor (that you could also build with resources), and powers with itself 6 assigned specific to that character.  I'd be pretty happy with that...  

yeah it's one of my faves too along with the Archon's ship.

The OP specified "lgbt" so had a specific target group.

True enough. I doubt they can explain what the actual problem is though.

It's still great, it's just aging now. It's getting a find mold over it to be opened at a later date.

I wonder if whoever came up with the rule that whomever brings up Hitler in an argument first loses, if he/she hadn't come up with that rule, would we still be in this mess today?

I'm guessing not.


Because forcing me to say words like Zhe and Zher is no more appropriate than Jews wearing tattoos on their arm and big Stars of David.
