From all the tweets and interviews, I am guessing that Andromeda will be full of completely overdone fanservice like Game of Thrones. Anyone else think this way? Of all the things that have notoriety for their fanservice, why do you pick Game of Thrones? xD That was actually a pretty amazing show until the last two seasons and even so it's not exactly bad (yet). And no. They literally can't bring back old-timers except Liara and that would be sad to see. It will however reference the shit out of the past. This is a "back to roots" marketed game and I know from my experience with being a fan of several things that as soon as an author announces their new thing with "We're going back to roots, this is for the fans!" it means they've hit the point of creative bankruptcy. It won't be bad. It just won't be interesting anymore. Andromeda has a slighty chance of being interesting because so many people leading the project used to be fans and not staff on the trilogy, so they have a different viewpoint but I won't hold my breath for this being anything crazy.

Wait, like old Game of Thrones, or what it turned into in the last few seasons? If it's former, I see little to worry about.

Not sure what your issue with game of thrones is, that series is top notch and substantially better written than Mass Effect has ever been. True, but the books are vastly better than the show, and I say that as someone who loves the show. As for BioWare's writing, it has never been particularly exceptional: What they've been good at is world building. I never specified TV show, fyi.

Please, if MEA was like GOT these forums would meltdown. Ooh, he's my favorite character...dead. Wow, I really like her...dead. Nope, if anything MEA will be 100x more fan-service than GOT (although tbh the show never really struck me as such).

Since it's not 'live action', there wouldn't be as much 'fan service' (as you put it) as in a TV show.
It's all CGI, so there are no middle aged directors to strip young actresses and tell them what to do for half a day. Actually, CGI nudity is even more work, because they have to make new models for the characters.
As to the 'gore'. Well, compared to images of real-life violence and death, the worst sort of fictional gore is slapstick comedy.

Those poor young actresses. They actually need to do something uncomfortable on occasion for the millions of dollars they are getting paid. The horror. A lucky few become rich & famous; then they give a sense of false hope to the rest, which in turn gets exploited.

I'll just assume you are asking whether MEA will have titillation and lots of gratuity? Doubtful, considering this is an apples to oranges comparison. GoT is an HBO series that makes money based on its ratings and viewers tuning in every week. The fan service is there as a "reward" to incentivize fans coming back.
Since MEA is a video game, I don't see there being any gratuity outside of romance scenes. It, quite frankly, wouldn't be appropriate anywhere else in the game. This game is about exploration and advancement from the perspective of humanity. It's not dark fantasy with a focus on some of the uglier sides of humans.

I don't really see a connection between these two. I only hope MEA has better writing than Game Of Thrones. S1 was a great piece of adaptation S2 was OK S3 was for the most part oustanding S4 started to take things downhill narratively S5 and S6 have been a trainwreck of bad fanfiction, mediocre editing and a bad sense of continuity in the timeline.All the little changes and mistakes they made prior to S5 is coming back to haunt them and create more plotholes.
So please PLEASE Mass Effect , be a great production like GOT but not in the writing department .Just no.

It will not be anything like GoT brah. This is pretty much how I felt after playing through Gears of War 4's SP campaign. 4s after a trilogy have never not sucked... no wait, I'm full of shit. (but honestly, I didn't care that much for this game. It was BORING) Uncharted 4 kinda sucked too though Sure it got great reviews. Naughty Dog games usually always do because....well....Naughty Dog. I mean people were even thanking ND for "raising the bar" on UC4's release even though from a gameplay standard? UC4 didn't evolve more in the way of gameplay, it was exactly like the previous titles only they borrowed one mechanic from Tomb Raider. It was actually more tame than the rest and consisted of more climbing than action or set pieces which UC was famous for. The userscores however tell a more clearer picture on what the consensus is of the fans. Most still consider UC2 the best one.

That's because nudity is the natural state of all humans that has ever lived, whereas defenestrating young boys is slightly more rare and morally repugnant. Depends on the boy. Defenestrate away.

The hell does ''overdone like Game of Thrones'' even mean? It's by far the best show out that exists right now, any comparison to it is a compliment. It's not ''overdone'' by any sense.

I don't think GoT has steered into fan service territory yet, though they are starting to lean that way ever since they left the source material behind.
As for Andromeda, I'm sure they'll overstep in certain situations, but as long as it's balanced right, why does it matter? Hell, I loved the Citadel DLC, but if all of ME3 was like that, I'd feel it was overdone. All about balance.

What do you mean by fanservice?
If you mean returning characters and self-references, well, the former is supremely unlikely to happen, and the second is cool when kept under control. Also Game of Thrones is not known for that at all.
Which brings me to the second possible definition: tits and asses. On that I doubt Andromeda is going to go as all-out as the show, which sometimes feels like they cannot have an episode without showing us bewbs for its own sake. But Bioware usually restricts such things to romance cutscenes where it makes sense.

Only thing that might stop them is the fact that the new aliens aren't human enough.
