Rate The Marketing

Well, like I said upthread, we already know the answer to the first question, if the "we" there means the PC and the vast majority of NPCs. The marketing has answered this one. (Nothing we've seen yet is incompatible with some other hidden rationale for the project, but most characters wouldn't know about that even if there is one.) You don't like the answer, but it is what it is.

I'd class 2 and 3 as plot details that are better left unrevealed. Why do you consider questions 2 and 3 to be vital pre-release information rather than spoilers? Put another way, what answers to those questions are you scared of getting?

Wooooo whoo tomorrow!

A-flipping-byssmal. I've seen better, and more consistent and timely marketing, from local girl scouts. I won't repeat the points listed by others, but easily terrible.

Why did the Europeans try to find India? Why did man go to the moon? Because everyone loves power and conquest! To get that sense of adventure and exhilaration going to a new, unexplored area that none of their peers have ever witnessed. To say, "That's right I did land on the fucking moon!". Or in the sense of other historical ties, America was created because some were just unpleased with how Europe was ran and said, "We could do better!". So they abandoned all their ties and embarked on a long voyage to a new land. 
You may ask well how does this compare to MEA? Well imagine the Milky Way galaxy as a continent that has been fully explored and conquered. There is not much to do and there is a stable government that most follow. Doesn't the thought of breaking away from martial law and common customs in general sound like a journey? Andromeda is the New World equivalent. Andromeda=America

I'm shocked due to how little there is of marketing.

I'm assuming there will be a major marketing blitz in final month though.

Well the time is probably long passed at this point.

What am I hoping for? I dunno. Something grand. Something that would inspire people to leave behind everything and everyone they've known and loved, take a six hundred year journey in an unprecedented voyage using virtually untested tech.

I guess what I hope for was the same thing I hoped for in ME3: A destination worth taking the journey.



Originally, yeah. But in ME2 TIM laid it on thick about how Shepard was "unique", not based on what SHepard did but in what he/she represented. Then of course by ME3 we got "This is what you were born for" and "The Shepard" So which will it be this time?

And doesn't the entire Pathfinder team have implants?



Again, why? Why not live on the Nexus? What's the rush? Heck what are the provisions if there aren't any inhabitable worlds? [/quote]

Because the Nexus has limited room and resources and sooner or later the old grudges between the krogan, turians, and humans would boil over into a war over resources and control of the Nexus.

Those that signed up for the AI knew (or they should have knew) that was risk that the worlds might not habitable. As too why anyone would sign up and join the AI, I can think of several reasons: it could be personal reasons, military orders, a sense of exploration, a desire for money, seeking adventure, religious reasons, a chance for a new life, a chance to be leaders (either political, corporate, religious, or any combination), maybe they're political radicals, maybe they're outlaws in the Milky Way Galaxy, maybe they're just bat-shit insane, or any other reasons.

If the AI was real I would try to join just so I could get off this dying rock and to get as far from then majority of the human race as I could get.       

God, I just want to know a few things about a Bioware game before I buy:

• Whether LGBT characters are up and center as important characters and which important characters they are
• The combat styles and how they work
• The kind of roleplay options I have in said game (dialogue, backgrounds, etc) in relation to what kinds of characters I can play

Not good.
The only major title that I can think of that has shown less this close to launch is No Man's Sky......and that doesn't fill me with a great deal of confidence since that game was trash, and they were clearly trying to hide it from fans.

What I meant was that where Scott and Sara served before the Andromeda mission is documented. It's not like Shepard's three backgrounds and three careers. Just one of each, so your RP will have to work with that.

And training probably isn't going to be too relevant. They're both Alliance-trained, and have no defined class.

I'm starting to wonder if this thread is less about the marketing and more of a reflection of the skeptical or optimistic views of the posters, but mileage varies I guess.

So for RP purposes you want your Ryders to have a pseudo-class that doesn't have any gameplay influence? Representing training before Ryder goes classless?

Bio isn't going to establish details for sonething that will be immediately abolished in-game. This will mean RP freedom, but this also means that dialogue won't reflect this anywhere, because there won't be any variable tracking the Ryders' previous MOSs. It would be interesting to know their vocational codes. Were they assigned as Ns, or something else? Or is that already in the vids?
