You think ME Andromeda will be more "childish" than the trilogy?

It will be less dark and more adventurous for sure. You're not heading for certain doom because of a galaxy wide threat. You explore and discover. I don't think it will be more 'childish', but I do think it will make you feel the same excitement as a kid that reads his first scifi comic or sees Star Wars for the first time.

if so...one of the things that kept me stuck with the story was the complexity of it and that dark aspect you mentioned.
I m an adult obviously. I really hope not to have a great desilution.
In a way even the music was quite mature in the trilogy. Mass Effect music is a piece of art.

i guess the story is the key yes..If the story is mature i do not mind the characters so much.
The story will define the game in that "childish" aspect yes.

The story in ME:A is meant to feature a more inexperienced crew that's making a name for themselves during the events of the game rather than the ME Trilogy where Shep and company were mostly already well established combat vets other than Liara and Tali.

Although not being super serious and mature and dark all the time doesn't immediately mean it's going to be childish. Personally I'm a little tired of the "everything must be super mature and dark and gritty" thing the entertainment industry has had going on for a while now anyway.

I don't consider being 22 a kid. They are young adults, growing into full adults.

Hell no considering the ESRB rating. More sex, nudity, cursing, and blood. Doesn't sound childish to me and Bio isn't known for making childish things. 

Ryder is not a vet or a "War Hero" like Shepard was at that start. Ryder's story will be more the heroes story were by the end they'll be what Shepard was when Mass Effect started.

Shepard went from a Hero to a Legend that was his/her progression. Ryder is starting smaller but we'll see how they grow as the series goes on.

But of course, they'll never be better than Commander Shepard

I never felt this darkness or hopelessness in ME3 that everyone talks about. In fact, you already got a miraculous solution by the start of the game, and you almost never see the real destruction the Reapers are causing, except in four missions (Earth, Palaven's moon, Thessia and Earth again). Everyone seemed to hold together very well considering what was happening.

Well from what we've heard it's supposed to be a more hopeful and optimistic story. That doesn't necessarily make it less mature, but it does suggest it's not going to be as dark as the "We're all going to die horribly when the Reapers show up" of the original trilogy.

Of course it'll probably have plenty of mature themes in it, but when talking on the internet I've found that when people say "mature" they often mean "dark and gritty and serious all the time". People have a bit of a habit of acting like if it's not the Dark Knight trilogy then it's childish.

Even if plenty of those "childish" things cover some pretty mature themes.

What is an "adult"? I'm sure that I'm considered an adult, but what does that mean for you? If you're thinking that it is going to be unicorns and rainbows and fairy glitter, no, it will not be "childish".

The point of the cast is that they are less experienced overall than in the ot.
There will still be people that are bad and things that are "mature" in the game, it is just that there will not be "If we don't fight we are going to be extinct, but we can't win if we don't use this magical thing that we just found."

I think it is a good path for Bioware to try. It will be good to play a game where we are not the one hope for the galaxy.


If I really want grimdark and "mature" I can read Warhammer 40K/fantasy.


Can't comment on the music for that is not my genre. And I don't know how music is "mature".

Given my preference for a personality that's more lighthearted and cheerful, raccoon Asari is shaping up to be best waifu in ME:A.
