So there's an achievement for "freeing" the salarian ark and one for "rescuing" the asari ark. But nothing for the missing turian ark? I smell a DLC..........
Also, we see achievements for three of the squad loyalty missions: Pee Bee (and her signal), Vetra (and her sister), and Drack (and the krogan colony). So which achievements do we think are for the others?
Maybe "Exaltation" for Jaal? And "Building Bridges" for someone? Is Cora's maybe the asari ark one, since she's a former commando?

I notice mention of Salarian and Asari ark, but not Turian
perhaps it didnt need saving, or it gets destroyed.
also, turns out the rumor about the arks missing was true
Vetra's sister will be signifigant, unlike Miranda's in ME2/3
And Im wondering if the Roekarr is a race, or just a faction of Angara or something

Also while looking trophies order, I think saving Salarian ark is a main plot mission and saving Asari ark is a loyalty mission. For Cora, I believe.

Maybe it's just not something that needs a trophy.
Assuming the theory that the Quarians and Turians went together, They implied that you had to look for the quarians, so maybe its connected

There doesn't seem to be a large proportion of achievements that are quest related so there are going to be a lot of quests without their own achievement.

The one i thought was funny was throwing someone into a trip mine considering i was speculating you could do this after one of the combat vids.

So here's what I'm thinking...
The Exaltation device turns the Angara into Kett. The weird solid dark cloud thing in space (I think I remember someone refering to it as "The Skorge") is part of this process, I'm guessing. Some kind of advanced nanomachine swarm. Perhaps the Kett are a mix of biological and technological, sort of like what we become when we choose the synthesis ending of ME3. Perhaps the Kett stole Remnant technology or they evolved themselves to fight the Remnant. Perhaps the Remnant are ancient Angara and the current ones are low in numbers and close to defeat.
The Remnant vaults are some advanced nano-tech-based terra-formers.
Did I just guess what the mystery behind the Andromeda races?

There doesn't seem to be a large proportion of achievements that are quest related so there are going to be a lot of quests without their own achievement. The story achievements are not that few in MEA. More than ME1. More than ME2 if you cut out the recruit/loyalty (should we? will the 'loyalty' in MEA be quest chains?). Maybe less than ME3. And there will probably be shorter core story content than ME3. I really think so. They're trying to lean ME1, and that means leaner in core story, broader in open zone stories. Lets hope its not too short feeling, especially if it is missing 'Lost Ark' DLC (Turians? Quarians?), as that will make the game get a big reputation of cut content... Its one thing to recognize restrictions in development ahead of time and to just openly note that, but its another thing to just slice out something to release some months later. The latter results in a weakened game. Squadmate missions seem pretty clear to me now actually.. Liam - Colonies - Related to the whole colonies stories Cora - Asari - Related to the Initiative story Peebee - Signal - Related to the Remnant story Drack - Krogan - Related to, um, the Krogan focus (big but not as big as the arc through the trilogy) Vetra - Sister - Personal story focus until proven otherwise, but maybe its part of something larger Jaal - Roekarr - Related to the Angaran story, maybe their politics and such that isn't directly tied with Kett problems We get other content and main plot about the colonies, the Initiative, the Remnant big deal, the races from the Milky Way, the Angaran and Kett, and particular characters. And... the FAMILY SEKRET. I mean we have the basic structure of the game here, if marketing didn't make that clear enough. If we consider 'loyalty' missions to be substantial enough, then its easy to think there's at least ~15 bigger missions, compared to ME2's ~20+, but well, again, it is closer to ME1ish structure and will hopefully succeed in having at least a bunch of compelling sidemissions. Easy to speculate a DLC that while being more Turian, also returns the Quarians and uh, I dunno, a Quarian male squadmate and their story? lollll....

You know, I have a feeling that the Turian Ark will feature in the vanilla game, but not as part of a loyalty mission (like how the Asari Ark seems to be Cora's) or main story mission (like the Salarian Ark).
One thing that I've noticed is that all mission-related achievements appear to be only related to the main story and to loyalty missions... I see nothing on the achievements regarding planetary quests, except for the outposts. Didn't see anything hinting at how our relations with Elaaden's krogan colonists turns out, nothing about the kett occupation on Voeld, and zilch about the outlaw factions warring on Kadara.
As such, the Turian Ark may still feature on a sidequest chain, or on a single sidequest. Basically, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of seeing the Turian Ark in the main game just yet.

Oh yeah, I'm certainly not ruling it out. Its more the combination of details that has me considering.

Yeah, I'm getting a heavy DLC vibe from this. Not that I'm necessarily complaining. If the Turians and Quarians get a DLC focusing on them, maybe even with new crew and or squad mates, that would make me happy.

Hmm I wonder what Meridian is. There's a quest you can see in the IGN Exploration video called "Meridian: The Way Home". I'm not sure what they would consider 'home' to be, though.

It looks like Habitat 7 in the icon. @daveliam the moment I saw the Exaltation achievement, I assumed it might be Jaal's mission because of the option of destroying it or saving the Angara. Sort of like Zaeed's LM.

What about Xbox One achievements??? They are the same. We just don't know the Gamerscore or the images that come with them yet. Probably really soon though since people doing early access will be unlocking some in a week.

So activating the Meridian will be our main objective in the game, I guess?
And something else interesting I saw - "Activate the Remnant City"
Since the Remnant seems to be one of the oldest civilizations in Andromeda and they have only left behind their vaults, I guess at some point we'll find an lost Remnant city like an Atlantis for example and we'll activate it.
Interesting to see what will happen after that.
