Why don't we see the start of the journey to andromeda and everyone going into cryo?

I agree that seeing them leave the Milky Way would have been cool

I think the better question is why didn't they add the travel to get there. 600+ years of content and the greedy bastards cut it out of the game, probably to sell back to us as DLC no doubt.

On a serious note, I was half hoping that's how the game started. Maybe Scott/Sara Grabbing a few last minute orders from the Citadel to see it one last time, and then the start of the journey before being frozen.I can't blame them though. The last time I voluntarily got in a freezer at the start of a game, my wife got shot in the head and my son became a mad scientist. I still have scars.

You see them getting into ships and cryo and everything in the beginning? Cool

I don't see what problem this is supposed to solve.

It's not a problem so much as anyone new to the franchise has no idea what's going on. At least a shot of the ships with the milk way behind them would have been a good start to the game.

There was a narration? I don't remember anything happening before the ship appears.

Because it would be embarrassing to show the way AI formed it's crowd. After talking with many AI citizens, I am quite sure to get the numbers they had to empty several big prisons (mostly on Earth) and the rest was filled with the most useless whiny spoiled lazy lot they convinced to join by promising personal castle with robotic slaves and tons of toys. As smart people, first AI thawed criminals and they (criminals) made a riot and run with most of the food stock. Now Raider has to deal with spoiled babies who only capable to pronounce severall words "Give me my Golden World!!! You promised!!!! Give-me, give-me, give-me NOW!!!!"


Sorry, had to say it. I know you are asking about different things but could not resist.

We're leaving to Andromeda? That's it? Do the memory triggers and you will know more, in other words , just play it.

I think that would have been a great idea. Games like this, and Fallout 4, really touted family and their connections, but you're never really given time to form a connection. In Fallout 4 you spend all of 5 minutes with your spouse and kid before it all goes down, so it's hard to really feel any real emotional connection to them.

Using the Milky Way as a starting point, setting up family ties- ie, what kind of relationships you have with your dad and twin- as they work towards going to Andromeda would have given much needed depth.

I would have liked to see that as well. I have been reading the book that accompanied the release, Nexus Uprising. It has Sloan Kelly get frozen and then wake up after they hit the scourge into chaos and fear. As I read this I kinda thought that might have been a neat way to start this game. You have a tender moment with your dad and your sister/brother before your frozen, create an initial connection with them, maybe a brief introductory discussion about your family. Then get frozen and see the ship enter the darkness. Then you arrive, and your in your pod and have awakened but can't get out of the pod because the ship has hit the scourge and their is panic. You check on your siblings pod to find it damaged and then you meet Cora and need to find your way to the bridge. Could have been a high intensity beginning, put you into that high adrenaline crisis mode.

Again I liked how thing started, a little more optimistic and hopeful only to have a crisis happen.

I think we established that he watched the intro, but forgot it.
