Has BioWare abandoned Andromeda completely?

Story, companions, and enemies aren't gameplay systems. Writing is usually what flesh out these things. But I agree with you Andromeda writing is bad lol. 

I agree. I'm not against a new protagonist at all. But if they're anything like Ryder, then no. Ryder was just awful. I personally wish we could have played Cora. 

I tma yhav esomething t od owi thhow Prtotheans can read people and the phremones and suc hthe ygiv eoff Javik did also asy the yincforporated this a lot into their tech at the time durinmg the Prothean cycle I've always jus tassumed aftre playing ME3 that it was just that.

It may no thave given them all the information but I' dbe surprised if they didn't get some It's likely a Prothean for example touched a keepe rfor example and managed t ored it's physiology and how i tworked and ther froer used tha tfor example t ocome up wit ha way to disrupt the signasl the Reapers use t obegin the invasion. Which was why Sovereign had to atempt to do it manually. It does look like t om ethat those things on the backs of Keepers look like radio boxes which I assume they use for communication with each other and the Reapers after all.

This I do agree with. Bioware's fixation on "Iconic" looks that cannot be altered. What's amusing is how relatively easy the middle ground is to achieve. THeir so close it's hilarious. Just give everyone SEALED ARMOR when deployed on Missions. Period. Unless you're implying our companions are so stupid they're more worried about looking stylish for the people shooting at them.


Then ofc, here's a really novel idea. GIVE US BACK THE EFFING HELMET TOGGLE FROM ME1. WHY is the armor and helmet one piece!?! It makes no sense man! ME1's Armor situation was reasonable and acceptable, it's only flaw was it was bland and boring to look at. 

What's really crazy about this, is Dragon Age Inquisition still maintained "Iconic" looks while letting us make them still have realistic gear for them, Like Cassandra wearing a plate helmet for example. It wasn't perfect by any means, but it was light years ahead of what ME is doing in terms of companion gear. 

Honestly, Bioware, I know you guys lurk here. Just do the ME1 armor setup, with toggleable helmets for each companion armor set, and Rebreathers that they attach or detach from their combat helmets depending on environment, because guess what Bioware. You can still show your companions faces AND let them wear helmets. YOU CAN DO BOTH GUYS! YOU DID IT BEFORE! I shouldn't have to turn off the helmets in order for them to not walk around in Zero Atmo equipment!

They were already working on the next new game before MELE was released, so you're wrong. 

And from the looks of it, DA4 is following that trend.

Makes me wonder if Bio can survive another failure. Cause I don't think that EA will give them another chance.

How exactly is BioWare to change if they keep allowing people to make the same mistakes over and over again? If people are unwilling or unable to change what they are doing and keep making the same mistakes that made the previous game bad why should it be a concern that they are leaving? Management is being held accountable for their choices so to me this is the first step to try and fix the direction BioWare is going in because they are trying to make some kind of change even if it requires people to leave.

We shall see come DA4. If it flops harder then Bio's last two failures then Bio's fans should start to worry about Bio's future.

There does seem to be a persistent trend of devs only ever failing upwards. More so with ME’s team than DA’s.

Hopefully BioWare hiring more new developers and people to their teams can help to genuinely change things, but if it’s a culture thing that is rooted deeper than realised I don’t know if things could ever swing back round again. Previous devs quitting, rejoining, then quitting again certainly seem to point to this.
