BioWare Blog - N7 Day 2022

SFX-5 mmmmm?

I think the point about the interception was the cloaked device in the video what seems to be like a cloaked ship which passes the construction of the relay - is it a reaper shape?

I think the n7 message which was about the surveillance outpost intercepting something strange lends credence to this - that it could be nothing but…leading towards the cloaked device when the transmission kind of stutters -

The post about it being 7 11 2190 is probably correct too as the post credits scene in me3 already showed construction has commenced on some relays - that doesn’t mean to suggest the game will be set then but it does point to a something - I hope the game is set closer to the original trilogy myself but either way I think this vid has significance - it could be like a first contact moment post reaper war with another species whether that be another reaper or something else

I love the vid though, the aesthetic already feels more ME to me then andromeda



Ps if you watch the clip on a television the cloaked device is more visible albeit it’s very fast

Geth and Liara partnership?

Now this is interesting...

Wow, people are good at this stuff!

Sounded like Liara saying:

"Exactly, the Council will be furious. Although they should know by now not to underestimate human defiance."

While Geth speaking over top.

Also someone saying "I can see it. How did we miss this?" Not sure who was speaking there.

Wild guess: it's not a relay per se, but something that behaves like a Relay.

See how the file has the "Vacuum-dock Relay Construction Record?" It could be a space dock that acts as a relay, so ships or entire fleets are transported between clusters at the same time(or even galaxies, if we're getting Andromeda into the mix)

The codename was when the teaser released.

If we take into effect how gravity dilation could in theory explain how a crew could reach Andromeda in time, I don't know how it'd be the same in reverse.
Unless the relay is, in itself, a ship, or part of a pair, I don't think it'd likely work.

If anything I think the "Timey Wimey" part will be only applicable once both sides have been established, to have instant (or near instant) travel between the Galaxies. In Galactic terms a trip of a year is still instantaneous, lol!

We're deep in space magic here! Get your waders on! 

So I'm trying to look at it from a game POV, rather than scientific plausibility.

They may even try to roll in multiple timeliness/ME multiverse in order to explain this canon state for the MW. (Eg. The same thing is being tried in other timelines, but -this- one is the one we'll play).

I'd sa yit looks like a reall ybased of wha tew've seen of them a broken rela yprehaps but still a ME relay prehaps one tha tgo tdamaged by the red green or blue action that got taken.

Multiple Timelines is a BIG ask for it. Would get really, really, convoluted with the permutations of the endings (which is already a mountain to climb). As cool as it to see I think it might be asking the devs a little too much.
But I do feel that there will be a linking of the galaxies, it makes all the sense, even if it is just a "bit of a time jump and tech's moved ahead".
What I definitely DON'T think is going to happen is that they'll be doing a simultaneous story where we "hop" between the both but the two never actually merge. Even if it's more likely as a narrative I think that it's really going to be more physical merge.
