Andromeda Initiative briefings (6/6 Golden Worlds and Settlements)

I guess I'll just copy + past what I posted in the video's comments:

Thoughts: This was a nice and unexpected teaser, good to get confirmation that Ryder Dad is Lex Luthor.

Noticed: Maybe we'll have modular armor like in ME 2-3, since femRyder has a armor over her wetsuit outfit we saw her wake up in, namely the chest piece. I do want to say that the Andromeda Initiative uniform has the same color scheme as the Explorer armor from Mass Effect 1, which was my favorite armor coloring from that game. Also why is there only 1 Ark ship in this trailer, is this the human Ark ship with the other races building similar ones over their home planets?

For N7 day I'd like to see Gameplay. loads and loads of Gameplay. A look at the character creator, a story trailer, trailer for the Ryder family, trailers for the companions, something that explains who was in charge of the Andromeda Initiative and why they want to go to Andromeda, a trailer for which races are going to Andromeda, a look at armor customization, a look inside the Ark ships, a look inside the Tempest. Hopefully all that and more, but spaced out from N7 day onward.

Those in armour may well be wearing armour because they are the ones trained with and capable of wearing it. They are also the ones whose role it is to take on the bulk of the combat role.

Like I said, this very probably is not a military expedition. Unlike ME, the party isn't necessarily a combat party deliberately going into front-line hostile shoot outs.

It isn't reasonable to assume that there is sufficient arms and armour available to the expedition to allow them to be giving out battle armour to scientists and other non-combat personnel.  The fact that such armour is capable of surviving in a vacuum or hostile environmental conditions does not mean that there is any expectation of such things in the area where we see the Asari.

It's like saying it makes no sense for Indiana Jones to have gone exploring without a gas mask and kevlar due to all the gas and dart traps he might accidentally be tripping in these abandoned tombs. He's an explorer not the SAS!

Same thing here.  I have no problem with what she's wearing.

Don't expect too much from November 7th. A trailer is more likely to be the only info to happen on that day. However i believe we will see some of those things you said in the coming weeks and months after N7Day.

The second I saw the "Andromeda Initiative" logo I've concluded they probably just changed it from "Pathfinder" and maybe they call you something else and thank god for that. I don't want to hear characters go "Hey, pathfinder, I've found something". They will say "Ryder" instead, but I wonder what "Pathfinder" will be replaced with. Maybe "Initiator"? xD

I disagree. She could still wear a full space suit/armor and still be iconic. Bioware has done it before. Characters like Garrus, Tali, James, and the other companions who had a full suit/armor still had it be unique to them and capture their character. Even in MEA we see that with the unnamed Krogan, who has decorated their armor with what appear to be bones or something like that. They's be able to do the same for this Asari. 

Depends if the moon is at its apogee or perigee in its orbit around the Earth. At its apogee, its 405 400 km away, at its perigee, only 362 600 km. Earth looks pretty big when the moon is at its perigee. 

But, given past Bio history, I would be surprised if out beloved Ascoon gets a different armour/Outfit/Suit from Bio when we go exploring in desolated moons. That would make it too real, I guess. And, if are allowed to change her outfit, say with a helmet and combat armour, then the Ascoon would not be the Ascoon as we know her and changes what Bio writers+artists want to project about her character. I mean, she just becomes anonymous, yes?

Ejem, ejem...
