How much do we want to bet that Bioware will use the Trope by having out Krogan companion get his ass handed to him to establish the badassness of another character/andromeda specie?

At least I doubt that it will be just Drack getting his butt handed to him.

Kai Lame just degrades everything a Ninja is supposed to be.

DO NOT WANT.

Not again, Mac.

As for a krogan getting his ass kicked. Probably by a new species, maybe the Kett.

As for our squadmates, it's more likely that they will be introduced saving our asses, to show how badass they are. :why:

Yeah, his attempt at assassinating Shepard before he dies is literally the opposite of "ninja". Shepard just pretends he can't hear the reverbed noise of a sword stabbed into the metal-grated floor or the also heavily reverbed footsteps as Leng blood-dripping approaches. What a fucking dumb scene.

It's not even just that but the length the went to try and me him look worthy of it like when Shepard just REFUSES to shoot him in the face when he has every opportunity to do so because....well because Mac Walters really.

I find this attitude is really starting to piss me off in more than one series of videogames......halo lately is VERY guilty of this

Hey, did you know you can craft swords in MEA? Swords are cool. Ninjas are cool. Just imagine, in MEA you can cloak, walk behind and stab an enemy in the back. That's when you press a button, something awesome has to happen. Button. Awesome.

The Andromeda Initiative is actually a eugenics program (disguised as an exploratory program to avoid legal issues) designed to gather the ugliest and dumbest members of Milky Way civilization and send them far away. Far, far, away, where they'll maybe run into a space tree and die.

Well, in Drack's defense he is old and grizzled even by Krogan standards.

Pompey: He sits alone in Ravenna with one mutinous skeleton of a legion and he dares to dictate terms to me!?.
Mark Antony : Caesar has many more legions than the Thirteenth.
Scipio: Yes, on the far side of the Alps.
Mark Antony: Winter does not last forever. Spring comes. Snows melt.
Scipio: That is a threat!
Mark Antony : No, I assure you, that is no threat. Snows always melt.

That would be very idiotic if that happens. I'm pretty sure they can find a better way to introduce a villain and establish it's badassness as you say. I hope.

Using the trope would be more than valid considering that these are all characters we haven't experienced before and haven't yet proved their badassness through narrative. If anyone comes along and kicks their ass, then it's just them getting their ass kicked. Unless it happens every time we meet someone, of course.

On topic, just from the trailer, it seems the Kett are dominating Ryder to show how badass they are. No need to include Drak into the equation, really.

Given that we've had 2 Krogan on our team before and this didn't happen to them I imagine it probably wont in ME:A either.

BioWare's style to try to give credibility to an enemy is to have them beat your squad as a whole. Collectors in ME2 blew up the Normandy, Reapers in ME3 blew up Earth, Corypheus in DA:I blew up Haven, etc.

I'd be more worried if I were the Tempest at this point, honestly.

It's disrespectful to the Ambassador. It was also disturbing how news organizations overused this photo, and a couple others like it; it's terrifying enough when you crop it to show only the maniac murderer.

Maybe but I doubt I'll be using any though with an option between a sword and a gun I'd choose a gun every time. but tha tdosen't mean I wouldn't let my squadmates have one though. Liam looks like my best bet if I want a guy with swords though.

Or the Nexus but yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a mission at some point during MEA where you end up shooting the Nexus up. Just like Shep had to on the Citadel.
