New Mass Effect Teaser Trailer

Pretty much the same here. Between four possible dead or alive species and three endings, it is inevitable if they want to move on with the story in the Milky Way.

It's weird how many people don't see that.

It is not the question of seeing the wrinkles its the confidence that they are supposed to mean hundreds of years have passed. My Ryder has 3 times the crows feet and smile creases she is showing in that image and hes like 24. It very well could be age, and given the tying into Andromeda it is likely.  But it could just be a hi-rez depiction by an artist of a smile.

But then you said it backwards. The issue isn't that they don't care, it's that they care too much. Their caring is distorting their perception. I'm guessing from context that you're talking about Shepard fans again; surely an old Liara is a direct threat to that, which is something they should care about if they weren't being fools.

That's a weird way to use "not caring." They care enough to deny the evidence of their eyes, don't they?

I never thought I’d be so optimistic about one of my old PC’s being dead. 

Can't argue with that.

I just had a thought, if they are canonising the destroy ending, Shepard could still be alive but they could still also introduce a new protagonist, tasked with finding out what happened to Shepard after the final battle. Liara could be the director/advisor of the entire game.

Maybe the reapers decided to save Shepard from the aftermath after they broke free from their thrall and subsequently withdrew their forces, leaving the milky way in shambles in the process. A dark age throughout the milky way follows. Meanwhile, Liara uses her resources to track down Shepard's location, maybe the reapers even brought them some place in Andromeda.

The snowy scene in the trailer honestly looks like a reaper graveyard. I mean we already know reapers don't exactly 'die' easily so it is weird that Shep's armour is at the very top of one. Maybe they were trying to bury evidence on this planet or they evolved beyond their purpose and are now working towards goals of their own. That's the only reasonable explanation I can come up with anyway.

Part of me wonder if they released this trailer so they could trawl through people's ideas and brainstorm how to continue this franchise...

"The fact that her face can be seen with fine lines of a more mature Matriarch, the years lend themselves to my theory that we're going back to Andromeda but it will be more integrated with the trilogy than previously planned. "

Curious.

I agree that she is most likely old. But its hard to know when she starts to smile as her face is covered for so long.  Smiles can start in the cheeks, so in theory the smile could be starting before the face is even revealed.
