Good question ProbeAway . I've been trying to nail down which character fits in which class archetype for a couple of weeks now. I believe the devs said that the traditional classes would be represented by the NPC's in ME:A. However, my guess is that they are going to have a spin on the class paradigm to make them a little more... unique and less traditional. Here's what I've got: Liam: Engineer (based on his background) Cora: Vanguard (adepts don't charge) PeeBee: Adept/Sentinel (Invasion is a tech power but she has no "armor" per se... hmmm) Drack: Solider (but fire based) Vetra: Solider/Sentinel (Power Armor is like Fortification, but another solider?? Maybe more Sentinel like which means she needs some sort of biotics? I dunno...) Jaal: Infiltrator (biotic based like Thane) Perhaps there is/will be a 7th character (secret or DLC) to represent the new "Explorer" class. Or one of the above does already. So far this is my list: Cora - vanguard Peebee - sentinel Drack - soldier (I think those three are pretty set tbh, based on what we've seen) Liam - infiltrator/engineer (his omni blades and background in law enforcement give him a bit of a combat focus) Vetra - infiltrator/engineer/explorer (I think the power armour could fit with any of these) Jaal - infiltrator/explorer/adept/engineer (could be anything) If Jaal isn't an adept then I'm leaning towards us having a seventh squadmate. I can't see any of the others being pure biotics. |

With eezo being a fictional element I suppose that Bioware could go either way. ie they could make it unique to the Milky Way or add it to Andromeda as well. Personally I think it would be smarter to have it in Andromeda, given that it's the basis for the technology that gives Mass Effect it's name. It's not particularly difficult to believe that it would be present in Andromeda either. Putting aside its space magic properties, it's really just another precious stone/metal. Yeah I agree, and I don't get the belief that Biotics need to be our "thing." I understand that people want Andromeda to feel new, I don't understand how taking away one of the three combat pillars does that in a positive way. The thinking seems to be that since Eezo fuels Mass Effect drives that it is tied exclusively to Mass Effect technology. The Milky Way didn't evolve down the path the reapers wanted because of Eezo, they did it because the Mass Effect tech was there. They controlled our evolution by funneling our technology path a specific way. Sovereign straight up says this. Therefore the biggest difference in the Andriomeda galaxy will be technology, which we have already seen. The Remnant used beam weapons, and the Helios Cluster uses Plasma weaponry. It is already different. Open eyes. There's also the fact that biotics would gradually die out without eezo (although that would take a while for Asari and Krogan). If it doesn't exist in Andromeda then the only way to maintain a biotic population is to deliberately expose unborn children to the eezo supply they bring from the MW, which is a nasty thought. |
