100,000 Colonists confirmed

Meh it is what it is. I would prefer more to but 100k is still a lot of people. And i think that for lore purposes this is probably a round number. You can have 149,999 people and still technically have it as 100k for rounding purposes.

"Apex Force, please stop killing humans. The cloning Facilities can't keep up with you anymore."

Some of them have had 34 years to make more babies you know. They would be young adults now, or in case of salarians, old men.

>34 years

The arc didnt come that late. The exploration trailer states that later on the game as you upgrade the Nexus you get to defrost teams of colonists still in cryo-sleep. 

Lack of criminal record just means you're smart enough - or wealthy enough - to not get caught. :sure:

So who knows. Maybe they were hand-picked.

We dont really know waht the nexus uprising was about, until we read the book. Maybe most of them arent criminals, just some general colonists that get pissed by some revelation or something. Regular people rebel too if something awful comes to light.

But then by fighting them, that makes US the bad guys!

I don't expect Mac Walters to tell a story even half as interesting as this.

Most of them won't be 'breaking bad'.

Most of them will be in cryostasis still. On Hyperion, on maybe the missing ark(s).

And enemy forces will be split between Kett, Remnant fights, and then Milky Way bads. In SP, kill count of these MW people in 'only' the hundreds? Thousands somehow? Still leaving tons left.

Most are not constantly 'killing each other like cockroaches'. So far it seems that its a minority of the colonists turning to organize into the criminal type fare that we'd have seen on uncharted worlds in ME1. The rest are not necessarily staying with the Nexus and/or Initiative, sure, but they also seem like they're not giving up on any sort of civilization. Its just that with greater chaos than expected (lost arks, revelations?, much more?), there's enough (for us to kill some regularly in SP campaign path, for MP to deal with them if you only count on sort of mission type as one time) that we have an enemy force.

I think they'll be the biggest deal in the first parts of the game when the implication may be that if they're not handled, they'll be a greater problem that will directly challenge anything remaining of the Initiative.

I'm pretty sure we will be mainly killing natives Angara and Kett.


Oh and your 4chan leak got debunked dutch.

How many outposts are there?  I thought part of what we're doing is establishing new outposts.

There's hubs and smaller colonies (populated or abandoned).

We set up outposts but those are only outposts, with just the insinuation that we're pushing a way forward for faster and easier (or even possible) colonization after MEA.

Hubs are sometimes established colonies and sometimes not at all colonies. Outposts are additional content (shops, missions, etc), as 'mini-hubs' at best.
