New Mass Effect Teaser Trailer

Well as you said, unless BIoware is wholly incompetent, them using a Liara model with face wrinkles is going to tell people she's old as hell. They should absolutely see that response coming, and since you're convinced they hinted at Shepard on purpose...somehow...they clearly showed that Liara was old on purpose. You cannot cherry pick your argument.  

Sure. But I think no one should expect Shepard to be back. Especially not because of the N7 logo. BioWare thinks that that logo stands for Mass Effect (not for Shepard), so it'll be included in every trailer from here on until Mass Effect is no more.   What I mean by that is, of course the logo was designed for Shep's armor, but got bigger and bigger and outlived him.

I mean it was even in the Andromeda reveal on a character looking much like Shepard, even though N7 has no real place to mean anything in Andromeda. 

Here a recent vid about what some devs think about N7:

Right, so 80% of the gaming community clamoring for a different ending 9 years ago totally got what they wanted, right? Since as you said, they'll find a way. 

The problem is that you can see the laugh lines are noticeable even before she smiles.

Or maybe they wanted to show an N7 because it is ME's de facto symbol.

Shepard was on the Citadel, above London, on Earth.

Anyone who bothers to stop and think about it will figure out that it's obvious Shepard isn't meant to come back. Their story is over.

Not the Milky Way's.

Team artistic integrity is gone. They already canonized some things such as Liara being alive, which goes against their claims from 9 years ago. And they seem to have received a directive to figure out what the fans want and deliver it.

Like many think shepard will somehow be back, i did too when i saw it for the first time. The n7 helmet piece could mean something or most likely nothing. N7 is the symbol of mass effect after all, andromeda had teasers like that too with it. Liara smiling could be her remembering shepard and for the hope of a better future (not because it's shepard in the background, most likely it's ryder but we'll see)... I feel something's happening in the milky way. After reading everything from people here and on twitter, it seems they want to connect both galaxies. If we think logically and based on this, this is what they have to do. Michael Gamble sounds excited and i really hope that's his plan but atm i have no excitement.

I read something from the gameinformer article that is interesting:

"At the end of the trilogy, there were three options meant to reflect the three major paths in-game: paragon, paragade, and renegade. Some of these options evolved the world into further tech advancement, while others destroyed the relays and set civilization back. The appearance of the broken relays speak volumes."

Imagine if we are 600 years in the future, and based from Liara's appearance she seems old, and i don't think her wrinkles are for artistic integrity. They have a reason showing her face in this specific frame with the sun pointing at her features and then as we see her wrinkles, and that is to show many years have passed. Her clothes seem a lot different too from what we have seen of her before. Some say she might be a cerberus agent or that she is cerberus (but i really don't think so). Most possible it might indicate of her being a matriarch. The cold environment adds for her to be dressed like that too..

So, what i want to say about the bold part is that the choices from the ot will play a role (don't know about the ending ones though). We could see further advancement in some places, while in others don't. The trailer gives me a feeling of that, the mw is in a kinda difficult situation, communications are dead between them and andromeda. Also gamble said he took inspiration from blade runner 2049. The teaser has a similar feel with the movie (again what is mentioned in the bold parts). In the movie there were big technological advancements (this can be both mw and andromeda, and places turned to wastelands (mw). There's some cloning stuff happening in the movie too, but i don't think they are gonna clone shepard...

I think a post reaper mw where everything i mentioned in the last paragraph are gonna be interesting, at least to me and if they bridge Andromeda along with ryder and crew (no new protagonist crap), then it'll be awesome. They just have to write/execute it good and most of all take their time and have a better management.

I always find this statement funny.
GameInformer wants me to believe that Control, the ending with a supercomputer-brained, not understanding of their previous life as an organic, constantly watching, Big Brother Shepard-who's-not-Shepard-anymore is Paragon?   Based on the fact it's blue, of course, also based on the fact that Renegade was 90% punch or shoot someone.

Didn't he say he took inspiration from it for the music only? I don't have the tweet on hand, sorry.

Well, after "Cure for death" "Giant Space Magic Wand" and "AI in your brain turns you into a super soldier that can interface with tech from another galaxy" I don't think logic really applies to anything Mass Effect related anymore... 

When did it even begin? 😆
