IGN: The First 13 Minutes of Mass Effect Andromeda Video

Also, totally in character for Space Gamlen. 

I remember when Alec was nicknamed DuncaN7. His new nickname now needs to be GamleN7.

We can be the bitter Gamlen to our sibling's Leandra. Or would that be Carver to Hawke? Anyway, DAD LOVES YOU MORE THAN ME.

I think I'm going to go with Scott being devoted to his sister, but thinking Space Gamlen is kind of a dick. Totally going to take the dialogue option that IGN didn't choose when Ryder gets a chance to talk about dear ol' dad.

Even though I think Clancy Brown is awesome.

Yeah. My Ryder will probably side with the Hyperion captain over Alec on this issue. 

Relevant.

I wonder if his reaction would be any different towards Sara or whether it's just that he's aggro to both siblings no matter what.

I meant the one I'm roleplaying. Though based on pre-release bios I can imagine NPC!Scott having a few issues along the lines I described.

so did our mom get stuffed in a refrigerator or...

Is it just me, or is the tone super inconsistent in this? I feel like they go from slow start to dire stakes in the span of a minute, there's anti-gravity when we bump into the Scourge of Habitat-7 but then 2 secs later Cora does... something and turns it off -- everybody acts as if nothing happened -- then we go and fix some things on the way, meet Daddy, and then he has a really weird speech about something everybody in the room should already know about the nature of Habitat 7. But they plan to go there immediately... or something, because the power has run out... like... there's missing communication here. It's not very clear what just happened before Daddy and co. seem completely assured about the fact that everyone is at stake. There's something really off here. It seems like a rushed premise and I couldn't quite tell what, but something just confused me about it.

The first time I watched it I was too pleasantly surprised at the graphic and the tone of the environment but I rewatched it and the dialogue is so tonally inconsistent, or maybe it's just me.

I'm kind of torn about this. I mean, I liked it. I love the tone of the environments, but is it Mass Effect? I'm not quite sure actually, but I've been on board with the idea of an actual soft-reboot since we learned we were going away from the old Mass Effect universe (which we are, let's be honest. Mass Relays, the Mass Effect and the Milky Way MADE Mass Effect)



But the tone of dialogue they're going for, the aesthetic focus and such it is all much more like JJ Abram's Star Trek than it is Mass Effect 1 or 2 or 3. There's lore from it of course, there's aliens like Krogan and such, but so much of the overall vibe is just not really Mass Effect in my opinion, and I don't mind it, I just don't think it feels that much like Mass Effect for whatever reason.

The game is absolutely gaaaawgeous.
Scott's VA is very good.
Unlike Sara, Scott doesn't grin like a lunatic during the first conversation.
Captain's hair! On my Sara Ryder! NOW!

Also, I can't wait to hang out with our dad:

Do I finally sense a touch of optimism in this forum?



btw agree on Cora:
she hot like
