How advanced do you think races like the Kett and Angaara are? Considering the fact that there are no reapers to harvest then every 50,000 years, how far do you think they have evolved?

For story reasons, probably conveniently similar to us.
Hope they get creative though, since obviously they developed free of Prothean/Reaper influence.

For story reasons, probably conveniently similar to us. Story AND gameplay reasons which literally just got confirmed with Angaran weapons available to use. Obviously they have to be more or less equal in power to MW weapons (or have other drawbacks) |

As much as the plot need them to be.
It would be interesting if we met difference races with different levels of technology.

The gameplay trailer revealed that there are separate weapons classes based on galaxy of origin, and that the Andromedans use plasma-based weapons that vent heat, while the Milky Way exiles use projectile-based weapons that utilize thermal clips for heat management.
Since they've got advanced firearms technology at least on par with those used by the Milky Way species, it's likely they're space-faring as well.

Extinction events are not solely the cause by reapers so there could have been different races that went extinct before the modern kett/angaran/others became spaceflight. The remnant for one are extinct.
I for one am a believer of the ancient lost civilization theories which states that their have been numerous civilizations before the rise of our known ancient civilizations. The pyramids of Egypt are older than 2500BCE their supposed date of construction indicating that there was an advanced technological civilization before Egypt that had diamond saws and drills capable of making the nearly impossible for the time cuts of every stone that Giza and others have.

I hope it will be different from planet to planet.
BioWare speaks of 'story worlds' that have their own stories besides the overarching main story of the game. I guess the seven Habitat-planets will be those story planets, the ones we'll explore with the Nomad. I guess the level of civilization/advancement will differ from planet to planet.

It could be interesting if they have different strengths in technology to milky way tech. Like, maybe they don't really utilise "Mass Effect" technology and have found other options and ways of doing things - ways we missed by taking the easy path laid out by the reapers - but our space ships are a lot faster so we can fight "hit and run" style and show off with our space magic biotics.

So do I. Just a little more advanced. It looks that way too. If they had no Reapers to deal with then they really should be more advanced than the MW Atleast in my opinion That depends entirely on when life started to develop. Andromeda is a younger galaxy than Milky Way apparently. And even if the galaxy itself isn't, the culture of the Helius Cluster could very well be far younger than Reapers and wouldn't have had the length of time necessary to be more advanced. Remnant tech could be more advanced, but it's clear that not everyone has Remnant tech. |

Technically we are only entering the outer most of the sectors of the Andromeda Galaxy.
With that being said it is more likely than not that the more advanced of species would be deeper into the core of the galaxy.
Species that would take longer to acquire contact with because maybe they see us as "below them".
Hope it is not this but it is one of the usual considered scientific philosophies.

If they have heat-seeking plasma weapons while we are still there shooting bullets...I'd say pretty advanced.

They'll be at least level IV on the Kardassiev Scale. It'll be very hard to keep up with them. |

I'd like to see a variety. Some will be extremely primitive, at least one so far advanced that they could wipe the universe with the rest of us, but don't because they're extremely pacifist unless riled. Then they could kill you with a thought.
But, I'm thinking the Kett and Angara will be on par with what we are, with some things more advanced and some less so. That way we have a reason to steal their tech.

I suspect they are going to retcon some of this thing to make the technological divide feel more unique between the different weapon techs. I haven't seen a single Geth weapon in MEA trailers so far. |

I guess the seven Habitat-planets will be those story planets, the ones we'll explore with the Nomad. I guess the level of civilization/advancement will differ from planet to planet. This is not a point to be discarded. What I mean is the different part - emphasis on different. realistically, alien races would evolve differently than we would. Thing of how different we are to an octopus and yet and octopus is pretty damn intelligent. I am hoping for more difference then the idea of advancement. |

I think people should remember that the technological Advancement of all Milkyway species was sped along by what the Reapers (Citadel and Mass Relays) and the Protheans left behind (whose technology was ultimately also based on Reaper Tech). That's why all technology in the Milkyway is very similar with the Geth having the most alien technology.

It simply depends how old they are. If the helius species haven't got the technology to venture beyond their region and haven't encountered serious problems with AI yet then I'd venture to say that they can't be any older than 50k which would put them within the same type I-II band as us technologically.
There has been some kind of extinction event in this region before which lead to the demise of the remnant and presumably other species which we are yet to find about. It's also possible that this sector wasn't conducive to the development of life (for a time) until relatively recently perhaps the sun/core was too bright or dull which effected the local planetary conditions to support life.

Technological Level in witch area? No one said, that we are equal on all technological Areas. Could be that the Milky Way races are better in some Areas of thechnoligy, but the Andromedans in other Areas.

Could be that the Milky Way races are better in some Areas of thechnoligy, but the Andromedans in other Areas. As the Andromedans in the Helios cluster have seemingly developed in isolation due to lack of ready availability of Mass Relays we can't speculate about the technological development of Andromedean races beyond the Helios. There are bound to be some out there that have existed for billions of years but none of those are seemingly present in ME: Andromeda unfortunately. In my view Helios is something of an anomaly in that these races seem to be very much within range of the last reaper cycle (50k) which is to put quite frankly seems very unrealistic and presumably highly un-usual in a galaxy without reaper cycles. It's possible these races know no more about and have had no more contact with the rest of the Andromeda galaxy than we do. |

How advanced do you think races like the Kett and Angaara are? Considering the fact that there are no reapers to harvest then every 50,000 years, how far do you think they have evolved? The andromedan races were severely mentally disabled so it took them billions of years longer than the milky way species to arrive at the same level of technology. You can't really lose technology on a galactic scale unless every single race who possessed the technology were to be lost or destroyed simultaneously. Otherwise, one or more races would pass on the knowledge to younger technological species so they could carry on, similar to uplifting in the milky way. If andromeda went though a dark ages because the empire that the remnant are from fell, and that empire was a galactic empire similar to the rakatan infinite empire of the star wars universe, then it is possible a lot of information was lost but its not possible to lose enough to have a significant effect. The effect would have to be cumulative. |
