Why's that? Where should the story go if our faction is the dominant force, or rather, where would you want it to? no, I would not want go be the dominant force but I would like to be FEARED. In Halo When the Sangheili attacked the Legkolo world they found themselves getting their asses kicked routinely on the ground because the legkolo were TRILLIONS and collectively in their Meglegkolo forms way too strong to overpower....but the sangheili had the technological upper hand enough that they could obliterate their world from orbit. News flash we could too but either A: We were too dumb to bring over a dreadnought or B: The Andromeda Aliens are as tech advanced as us AND more numerous...thus making us the underdogs again. So, we're the aliens, essentially the "invading force" even if invasion isn't quite the goal. I'd say we have to establish ourselves before anyone will fear us. Also, if they fear us it really does make us the bad guys. To be feared we'd have to aggressively attack any potential threats. Coming into Andromeda, everyone is a potential threat. That would make us lots of unnecessary enemies.

I made a bunch of moving pictures of spaceships again. *Warp wobble intensifies* I noticed that the Nexus is completed in a couple of those shots. Specifically, the briefing ones. This isn't in-engine footage (I think), so is it just for trailer purposes? It can't be complete when Hyperion first rendezvous with it... Not to be negative, but I feel like Commander Shepard/Garrus would have just thannix'd the Kett ship back to whatever black hole it crawled out of You talk as if Shepard would have needed a Thanix, when we all know a headbutt of them would have sent the Kett back to whatever hole they came from.

I would like to express my hope that I get to rain righteous fire on the Archon's homeworld. Generic stupidity just needs to be punished. I mean, what was that thing's train of thought here?
"Look, a bunch of aliens that had the technology and determination to come here from a galaxy 2.5 million light years away... what do we do with them? I know! Let's threaten them and piss them off!"
Come on, who'd miss those guys?

All these briefings/trailers featured incomplete second wing.

This trailer has me feeling optimistic about ME: A. The cast of characters feels like they are in their late twenties or early thirties, and they largely seem unproven. That's good because, unlike Shepard, Ryder is a mostly unknown quantity. Papa Ryder is the hero that most of the Ark Initiative knows and believes in. Only complaints are that the Andromedans seem to be speaking English. I understand why they need to speak English, but I have no idea how they know English. Some kind of language-analyzing chip?

I suppose the translators will be updated for the Andromedan languages. I'm afraid that will already be done by the time we get there, given others are supposed to arrive sooner than us, which is a shame.

I can't get a read on the squad except maybe PeeBee. Gonna have to play before I can make my mind up. Love Tom as Scott. I'm going to enjoy playing as him.

DNA incompatibilities? Bio warfare is very, very nasty.

Honestly, everything I saw was exciting. Seeing the angarans clearly for the first time, the companions being revealed, etc... Regarding the humans... Only 2 of at least 6 squadmates are human. Is that really too many for the human Ark?

Haha! I just saw it. I liked it! One of the things I loved is the way everyone is together. It feels like...it feels like good bonding going on? If that makes sense. I also loved how they're all together at the front of the ship experiencing this together.Liam's hair looks great! I mean, from what I understand, his hair is hard to do, but they got that texture down real well. All those little curls and what not. And did you see him trying to leap into the fray already. I'm like, Man, what you gonna do? Jump through the video screen? lol! "Surrender or burn" my azz! Shoot, we ain't scared of you. We fought Reapers. We been to hell and back already. Well, the Ai crew hasn't, but I'm just saying. We have. The MilkyWayans are a scrappy bunch. Don't be fooled. Looks good. Looks fun. I like the way everybody looks. The whole crew. Hey, Cora! What's up? She looks badass. And what a steamy kiss. Looking forward to it. This was one of my favorite new things from the trailer actually. In the past it was usually only ever Shep standing behind Joker like he was teaching him how to drive. Then EDI was the hilarious backseat driver, and then I think on rare occasions we had Tali, Pressly and Kaidan/Ash before Ilos, Miranda during the Suicide Mission and then a couple times maybe in ME3? The rest of the squad were always elsewhere on the ship, which made sense of course to an extent, but it would have been nice for them to be there, for us to see their reactions etc. The fact that most of the squad are all up on the bridge during that scene does establish a greater sense of unity among the squad, already their interactions and friendships seem very organic.

Lots of positivity on this page!
Loved the trailer myself, that scene where you meet up with the Angarans is exactly the kind of thing I want to be seeing and the quote about being explorers and not soldiers was exactly what I needed to hear.
I would really love if the first time we see the Angarans and Kett they're in conflict and we've literally mistakenly popped into the middle of fight.

PeeBee look much better + at last we now know that we will have one decent blond for romance. From Trailer I see that is definitive strange that Tempest it unarmed there is enemy encounter just in begin of it

Underwhelmed by the trailer actually. Very underwhelmed. It looks, sounds, and feels like your garden variety Hollywood BS replete with hardheaded villains making boring threats (YOU WILL BURN!!! groaaaaan), kabooms, one-liners, military-bro mentality, and horny time. It reads like a literal checklist of insipid blockbuster nonsense. Of course, it doesn't mean the game itself is bad, but my god could they have done a more unoriginal and inspirationless (is that a word?) thing?
For how to make a solid military sci-fi trailer that actually looks interesting, go find The Expanse Season 2 trailers on Youtube.

How about roleplay?
I remember my Mass Effect not by BS Shepard nonsense at the beginning of ME3 (it's not about strategy, it's about survival! GROAAAAAN; well, apparently, I remember that as well). To me it's about the beauty of Ilos, first revealing what the Reapers are, seeing Omega, going on a heist, talking with Mordin about genophage, fighting for Tali on the Migrant fleet, holding in my hands the future of the Krogan on Tuchanka (Mordin: I MADE A MISTAKE!!!!) and of Geth and Quarians on Rannoch. It's synth retro soundtrack and sense of family and all the other little subtle things that make Mass Effect, well, Mass Effect.
I don't expect them to put all that in a trailer (how could they), but I do expect a little more effort than Hollywood Space Action Crap 101.
Also Ahriman, for someone with a solid number of posts, I'd think you'd be a little more welcoming to new posters. Your belligerence to me personally because you don't agree with my feelings toward the trailer is unwarranted and rude. I am not sure what I did to earn scornful dismissiveness and mockery. Now I know who not to reply to in the future, I guess.

The Rannoch and the Genophage 'arcs' are genuinely well written, I agree. There might be similar exceptions this time around, too; it's early to tell from the first couple of trailers.
