Eurogamer: Why small choices matter when it comes to character creation in RPGswww.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-05-26-why-small-choices-matter-when-it-comes-to-character-creation-in-rpgsNarrative RPGs are arguably all about choices and your power over choices. Choosing a class and a background lays the groundwork for the whole experience of a game and provides a springboard for roleplaying. In the first Mass Effect, for example, you're given two key choices at the beginning of the game that effectively select which version of Commander Shepard you want to inhabit. You decide the personal history and the psychology of Shepard. You decide whether they grew up as the nomadic child of navy officers or on the streets, and whether they matured into a scarred survivor, renowned war hero or a ruthlessly efficient commander.
Each of these choices does have an impact on how characters initially relate to Shepard. Yet for all the backstory, it's hard not to shake the feeling that Shepard might as well have been dropped into the world at the moment you start the game. It's hard not to feel like you're merely guiding Shepard through a world, rather than truly inhabiting the character. The choices are big and can be incredibly satisfying prompts in the hands of a dedicated roleplayer, but the apparent scope of the choices - what was your entire childhood like? - compared to the minimal impact they have on what might be a 100 hour adventure means they can feel a little hollow.
...[HASH]MET I absolutely disagree with that characterization. My ruthless commander Sheps were different personalities than my street urchins. That initial choice set the stage for every one the rest of the game. We rarely get a "here's the PC's while childhood" setups for games, and I think that's a good thing. Imagine how that would bog down the game and create a pre-defined character. If this is somehow an argument against character customization in general then I have nothing in response but a responding facepalm...and a raspberry accompanied by a lewd gesture.

That wording took out any remaining hope I had that a ME game could happen right on tail end of this console gen, or even maybe cross-gen.
2022-2023 earliest, as next gen matures (I crossed fingers for 2020-2021). About as long as MEA took. If it even happens.

They will return to Mass Effect once Anthem and Dragon age 4 are out of the way. I'm guessing it'll be the main game while Anthem 2 gets built on the side. There is already going to be a big gap between DA3 and 4 so ME might be "on ice", but you could say the same for dragon age other than we know it's the back burner game. BioWare can't poop these games out like Assassin's Creed Kansas or something.

I prefer to remain cautious. That phrase, while positive, is also vague. I do wonder, though, what path they’d follow for a mean ME game. MW or Andromeda?

David Waterfall @davidcwaterfall @caseydhudson Hey Casey I know your world right now is developing Anthem and making thag as good as you can make it. But will there eventually be another Mass Effect in the future? I hope Andromeda (which i love) wont be the last in this franchise, thank you!

Had he said yes he would be making a promise and people would be having meltdowns, had he said no people would also be having meltdowns but for another reason.
Besides he already mentioned before he intends bioware to work on Mass Effect again.
