OK, so that really did look like DA:I in space. Like, they've got establishing camps, founding keeps and buying perks for yourself back at the Nexus/Skyhold

Hopefully the quests will be good, that's what matters.

True: but think about it, it makes sense in Mass Effect to do this stuff - in DA:I it felt tacked on.

Exploration and colonization are perfect together as a game mechanic - the sense of progression will be great fun, where as in Inquisition it felt a bit off IMO.

The whole plot and our role in Andromeda makes those features more reasonable and logical to be present and done by the MC compared to Inquisition. It's literally the Pathfinder's job to do so.
I hope they worked to make them more entertaining, and to make the story quests in each other deeper then those in DAI's areas.

Totally agree - I'm hoping for some really cool options in terms of character choice on the aforementioned 'handcrafted' planets too: shaping our stamp on the new galaxy.

Gotta say, after watching that and the IGN video, my excitement levels have gone from about a 'ho-hum' 7 (they have been diminished of late) to a 'techno crotch rigor-mortis' 9 (the best type of hype). Can't wait to scoot about the cluster, custom Scott Ryder punching out Kett and bedding the local fauna haha.

There is a moment of sheer panic when I realize that Anderson's apartment overlooks the Presidium... and is obviously more expensive than mine.

Personally, the first 13 minutes, regardless of the pros and cons, felt like Mass Effect, and it's one of most important things I wanted for Andromeda, considering the changes.

Yep, I went from pretty wary pre-combat #1 gameplay trailer to fully locked and loaded. It's been a pretty steady rise of my hype level since. I'm still not super excited about exploration, but I'm feeling more optimistic that it'll be much improved over DAI. And...I'm not punching anyone I don't have to, that's what Drack is for.

I have not read the thread so I may be repeating what other people have said but from the video it looks like they lifted a lot from Inquisition. That however is a good thing as long as the quest system was improved because I liked a lot of inquisitions systems. It looks like MEA is using many of the same base systems.

Elaaden looks like it's a moon, not a planet. At least going by the gas giant in its sky.

The whole idea of being able to see whatever planets/spacescape you're next to from inside the ship is so awesome to me. I feel like I'm going to be staring out the windows of the Tempest a whole lot.

Love it imo nice save after that mess up the other day.

They showed me Krogan I'm happy I'm going to help the Krogan as much as I can. I love the fact that both male and females seem to be represented in this game.

That has to be my favourite MEA video now.

Not too big a fan of the outposts or the viability points. As of now, it seems like mostly pointless busy-work designed to artificially extend the length of the game, without adding much to the overall narrative.

I'm fully willing to be proven wrong. But I won't be suprised if shortly after release someone writes a "GTFO of The Hinterlands" style post/guide, except geared towards said outposts and viability points.

Well, it seams to be a direct carry over from DAI. It does make more sense lore wise... orbital drop pods are a plausible way for ground crew support.

I just hope there is decent number of different planets that provide a similar level of content... not one super large, stuffed planet and a couple of smaller, tighter designed ones.

Yeah - I was looking at that and thought that's what it might be. I thought - hoho, it's the new thresher maw. I wonder if it can come up underneath the ~~mako~~ nomad. Insta-death. Again.
