Mass Effect Andromeda survey results

Some of these are not surprising at all, but some of them are so evenly divided. It's a nice insight into how other played the game.

I like the near-even split between male and female Ryder. It comes to 54-46 or so. Default Sara not very popular though.

Another interesting one: Reyes much more popular than Sloane, but a much closer race between who was picked for Kadara.

I don't believe anymore.

I was surprised how popular PeeBee was as a romance choice TBH given how much negativity I had seen on the forum re her and also how popular Alec was as "non-Ryder pathfinder" ????

I'm not surprised by how many people picked PeeBee. The results show that this analysis was right on the money back when the author posted it a couple weeks after the game came out.

I just found I so often had to stand up for her and her romance I was genuinely surprised that she was the most popular romance.

Keep in mind that the people who actively discuss a game online will always be a vocal minority compared to the rest of the playerbase, regardless of their opinions. When you get to a small, dedicated community like this one, that's where the people who are truly passionate will be - and the more passionate people are, the more vigor they have when they talk about it (remember how tribalistic the romance forum was on old BSN before it got nuked?). This inevitably leads to people getting into fairly heated arguments, and more arguments in general than they might have otherwise.

Thing is, you could chose Sloane, but Reyes still gets to live. If you chose Reyes, Sloane has to die. For folks like me, who don't like the murder aspect of the duel, that might throw a few more folks over to Sloane (although I've gone both ways, even though I don't like Sloane getting killed the way she does).

I just hated how you get forced into the situation as well. I hated Sloane even after reading the book and have only ever chosen her once over Reyes but its the fact that you have no choice but to go along with her supposedly to "have her back" even when that's not what I'd choose to do ever that annoys me most.

It can be interesting to see how the general gaming public can view a game compared to the stalwart internet crowd. I bet most MEA players don't even know about the memes or the fuss over Sara's face.

Btw, your avatar...is Captain Jack Harkness?

Not surprised by most of the results of the survey but I am surprised that Jaal isn't in the top three for favorite romance. Cora actually managed to beat him? That wasn't expected.

On a side note, I shouldn't be surprised about Liam receiving the least votes for almost every category. Poor Liam.

I am surprised that 36.4% combined picked a default Ryder since for me personally I always create my own character if the game lets me. I wonder what the default to create ratio would be for the OG trilogy? For some reason, I didn't ask that question when I did that survey, probably because it didn't cross my mind.

I don't know if that means they did a great job with Alec considering his screen time or if the rest of the Pathfinders underwhelmed some people (or both)?

For the 'Who did you romance' it was a multi-option question, so if you romanced Peebee in one playthrough and Cora in another you would have checked both them off. So while Peebee could have been a popular second romance option for some, that still wouldn't account for her being 10.8 and 11.1% more popular then the next most popular romance options in Cora and Vetra.

I was actually expecting the Reyes/Sloane Kadara choice divide to be huge. I got the impression that hardly anyone but me chose to save her. I didn't approve of everything she did, but the same was true of everyone, and Reyes was A) a creep

a liar and C) I fully expect him to stab me in the back. I don't think that decision could come down to a simple popularity contest, Reyes really made it hard to chooce him. I imagine him using Ryder to assassinate Sloane would have irked even his biggest fans. No one linkes to be tricked into murder.

Much like with Jacob when I did my OT Mass Effect survey two years ago this was probably one of (if not the least) surprising things.

Well, for me, I went with the default options during the 10 hr trial period so I could just get to playing right away. Then when the game was released I continued with those 2 chars. I've only done 1 custom each for Scott and Sara, but played default Scott 3 times and default Sara once.

I don't believe anymore.
