maybe there are two or three other species that we will e in future trailers or in the game,
it's like in ME trilogy, in ME2 we see drell, collectors, etc, sme species thaat were not in ME1,
i think it's th same here, in MEA2 we'll see new species
just patience, ther are no enough videos of the actual game yet

Is any one else concerned that the number of Andromeda's races is going to be paltry when compared to the original Mass Effect? The launch trailer for the original Mass Effect featured turians, krogan, asari, and geth and we learned about the elcor before the release date as well. To date, we have been told about (and shown) only *TWO* races so far: the kett and angarans. Both are organic, bipedal and relatively hominoid in appearance. Now, I'm 100% certain that we will encounter at *least* one more race in Andromeda that they are keeping as a surprise, but I have a sinking feeling that Andromeda is not going to have nearly as diverse a number of races as the original Mass Effect. And that makes me a bit sad. The other thing that makes me sad is that we only get ONE Andromedan squadmate... Honestly, instead of another turian/krogan/asari, I would have preferred a raloi squadmate (the avian race native to the Milky Way that was never actually shown in the Mass Effect series). Does anyone else share my sentiments? Yes I agree with the OP, there are too few races shown and I hope they will show more races. I dislike the way that people think its legitimate to say that the andromeda intiative is only in one star cluster and that justifies the too few races. Its a story written bu writers. They coud have written a single star cluster or an entire galaxy. Its make believe. The writers then, you are saying, put limits on the number of alien races through a narrative trick when they didn't have to. The writers could write whatever they wanted. They could have written for instance, that the andromeda species had advanced FTL so they could travel all over the galaxy without mass relays. So then you could have had a story with 2 dozen new races. Or the andromeda intiative could have ended up in a systems alliance in andromeda where multiple species collaborated. Theres no real reason to only have 3 races. Only the limits the writers apply themselves to the story. Part of the fun of ME1 was learning about new civilisations and new societies. Not exploring barren worlds or the same species again and again. Do you know what I mean? |

Would you be happy to give them the extra few years to go through and meticulously theorise, plan and design 2 dozen additional races? Either way the amount of additional races is somewhat irrelevant. Quality is much more important than quantity and thus fewer races would have enabled them more time to flesh out the additional races that have been added so the backstory on these new civilisations and societies are realised enough that they aren't just a couple of throwaway lines. |

All I'm saying is, that it was possible 10 years ago in ME1. So if they wanted to introduce the same wonder in ME:A as the executive producer has stated, then why tamper with a formula that worked before? They could have done a good job fleshing out these 3 races but I would like to see their new formula of only having three races this time and how it works when the game comes out. Part of the major lore is discovering new worlds and civilisations. And goning to an entirely new galaxy , you would think that would be a priority to the storytelling. We will have to see how it plays out. |

every type of information given no matter what people will just bitch and complain, be it here on bsn or somewhere else on the internet or even in person. Should just wait till more information comes out to complain.

Should just wait till more information comes out to complain. Its just that the game is just about to come out and they are still holding back on any meaty information on the game. Most people will not see advertisement in the last few weeks before release because they don't follow mass effect the same way as people in these forums. Some people will wonder where Shepard is in ME:Andromeda for instance. |

We will have to see how it plays out. I don't think you will be disappointed. A lot of the interesting races in ME1 weren't part of the main story/shepard's team. We haven't seen enough content yet, but I'm sure there will be as much diversity in secondary races. I think they are keeping most of the new stuff close to heart until release. I have a strange feeling we will travel outside of the helios cluster as well |

One thing I've learned about BSN : for every piece of information there's someone who will bitch about it. They could introduce twenty new races with unique designs and cultures, and someone would complain that all that development took away too much of the writers' time from romances. Wait, isn't that the purpose of the internet? Man, wtf with comments like that, just shut your mouth, damn I'm triggered I thought the internet was for porn and the occasional funny cat video.  |
