IGN: The First 13 Minutes of Mass Effect Andromeda Video

So I guess character creation is separate from game play? or maybe they just didn't show it for some reason

They most likely just skipped it for time. I bet that the CC starts when the camera pans over our stasis pod. 

Ok my hype Level just went quite a few floors up..

Wow.

- I dont get what some find so bad about the facial animation. I quite like them. Maybe its because i never Played recent games like Uncharted 4, Battlefield 1 or other Games with such great Animations.. the last Game i finished last week was Deus Ex Mankind Devided.. compared to THAT disaster of horrid Facial Animations it looks amazing^^
-As others said.. i really like Scott. Good Voice.
-Liam looks cool
-The Hyperions interior is great
-The whole feels alot like Star Trek wich as a diehard Trekkie i absolutly LOVE!
-The Visual Effects are stunning
-I am looking forward o the Father/Child dynamic here. Looks really intense and interesting


Between this and the Exploration Trailer i am overall very, very pleased with what i saw today.

I think if they released THIS first and then the Loyalty Mission saying "You have seen the Story, Dialoge etc in the 13 First Minutes, here are 17 Minutes just to show more Gameplay" most people would have reacted to the Loyalty Mission much better.

You mean, Alec, right?

Well, considering what we've seen of previous Mass Effects, this kind of professionalism you're stating doesn't happen with N7 on their ships when they are trying to save the galaxy in a race against time. You remember, partying in the Citadel while the rest of the galaxy is being harvested?
He says "pretty good isn't good enough". It's absolutely true, but you're gonna go right now anyway? 

And to be honest, I agree with the captain of the ship, not Alec. Wake your scientists and experts first, analyze the situation, then go after your goal. That was just rushing into the unknown unprepared. And as far as we know, that won't turn out well for Dad, and we will enter in conflict with the Kett.

EDIT: Okay, sorry if this might seem it's a rant against the game, but it's actually just against Dad for trying to "follow protocol", even though going to the planet will inevitably be the best solution. I'm just against the reasons he states for going there. With so many years in the field Alec, I think you'd know better. Things will not go well and this is definitely not home. It's never that simple.
But we can roleplay in the game with that same idea, I'm glad.

I'm curious as to why our chosen Ryder wakes up in the middle of the cyrogenics storage, while our sibling is moved to the medical room? As supposedly Dr. Lexi was mentioned to more or less be the first person we see--not two un-named individuals.

Other than that...

Awesome to see that character's eyes are not stuck staring forward....was something that was bothering me in past videos. Still some weird animations, nothing terribly glaring I found though.

I laughed.

It's okay, Lexi. Cora's so foine, she has that effect on everyone.

I love Tom and his voice.

He could have my babies.

Yeah, she didn't strip in front of Ryder.

Fuckin' masculinity man... ugh, Biowaerrrr

I can tell one thing - now I know why Sara, not Scott is the face of MEA. From the other hand, if they planned to underline youth of both of them and innocence - the match is perfect and both looks as they should.

Wanted to say animation is atrocious but it would not be true. Yes, face animation is totally off most of the time, but still it's the style to blame - that "realistic" look. Uncanny valley in all it's glory in there. God, Liam's face expression was awful! Still, characters are alive enough and if you could get used to ME2&3, you will get used to MEA in no time.

For me that video was a huge "pro" for buying the game.

After watching it, I'm still of the mind to wait until all the all the DLC has been released and I can get a good deal on it all. Still need more info, though it did answer one question I had concerning the scanning. It looks like that's a big part of the game as many things are going to revolve around it. I hated it in DAI and it found it's way into this game.

After watching I really feel that this may be the first game with character creation where I stick with the default first name, hearing people say it just feels more natural to me than someone constantly calling you by your last name or title, especially considering there are 3 Ryders in this game just feel better especially when they will interact with eachother
