CERBERUS role in Andromeda Initiative

Actually i am surprised that there haven't been many questions about it....I hope that Bioware planned sth Cerberus connected in the AI. Even the smallest thing.

On the official forum there were discussion about Cerberus' involvement. If you mean as questions to the devs, I guess it's because people know they aren't going to answer.

Hopefully none, but there is already a thread discussing Cerberus and the AI: bsn.boards.net/thread/2119/andromeda-initiative-cerberus-unapologetically-storytelling

BTW: Cerberus goal was to lift humanity to the top of the chain among milky way races, ultimately trying to control the Reapers to do so. So why should the illusive man be interest in leaving the Milky Way to get himself back into the unknown? So I wouldn't expect any involvement. Doesn't mean that there can't be Cerberus supporters on the mission to Andromeda, but Cerberus operatives should have their hands full in the Milky Way.

Another BTW: If the writing team has learned a lesson from the trilogy it is that the focus on Cerberus in the third game was a mistake. A secret organization shouldn't be visible everywhere, instead it could've been interesting if they weren't prominently throughout every stage of the game but sneaked in at the last second.

If Walters wants it, Cerberus will be there.

From a logic stand point, it's obvious Cerberus would want a piece of the Arks. Maybe something subtle, but they would be there for sure.

or maybe Cerberus would try to sabotage other than human Arks....

oh come on....this a mass effect game. Wouldn't be a mass effect without some links to the lore...

I do not want to see or hear about Cerberus on AI, it doesn't always have to be about TIM and his Cerberus and it doesn't have to be him and Cerberus helping to build the ships for AI. I so hope that Cerberus and TIM is not involved please for the love of god

Actually, TIM states Cerberus is bigger than him. That even with Cerberus shattered the idea would go on. So trying to influence the civilization in Andromeda is well in character for him. 

And who knows, maybe in his mind he would even be alive 600 years from ME3. 

I agree - I don't want to see Cerberus in the AI project.

But - given TIM's obsessive penchant to advance humanity above all other galaxy races, he's certainly not a 1-trick pony who's only focus was on the Reapers. Cerberus had lots of other things going on that Shepard would never have known about, as TIM only told him/her what was needed to complete the mission against the reapers. Certainly TIM would have Cerberus members planted in the Hyperion and the Nexus Arks. I just don't want to see them; at all.

Didn't TIM tell Shepard directly that he had "other plans"?  TIM's awareness of the reaper threat would cause him to think of several plans:  Plan A - Destroy the Reapers/Protect Humanity, and B) find an escape route for some of humanity. The AI project is too tempting for TIM to ignore such an opportunity to advance the human race, and most especially since several other key races had their own arks. Placing a few high-level operatives (similar to Miranda) and Cerberus scientists would make a lot of logical sense (to me, at least). I just don't want to see them; a rotten apple spoils the whole bunch, so to speak. I want to get them out of my mind!

Perhaps TIM and Cerberus will be included in the ME:A Initiation novel to set the stage for their minor/background involvement in the AI project.

EDIT:

BTW - Martin Sheen is still alive and able to do more voice-acting - like setting the stage early on for his plans for the AI project?

If Cerberus has to be involved I doubt they would start any of the plans that they had and they most definitely wouldn't start infighting with other members of the AI when there is no safe place yet and no stable infrastructure/stable foothold yet and can't afford infighting just yet. They most definitely would wait till they had the chance to assess the current situation ie the natives etc in the Andromeda Galaxy


the whole thing about Cerberus and involved in the AI, I just have to say this enough is enough I say Cerberus has been in 3 games. Can't we just have a game with no Cerberus what so ever at all, I see Andromeda as a new start where nothing and no one even groups are included because it is a new start and no baggage ie Cerberus etc coming along and or getting involved in any sort of way
