Will the kett be the bad guys for many games. Really good in terms of villains

Eh, there's another aspect to the Kett. They have no reproductive organs. In other words, to have new Kett they need other races or they die out.

I actually thought they were kind of cute and not menacing at all.  Especially the Archon reveal - he's like a little puppy.  

I thought the Kett were done pretty poorly. They look like reskinned Turians. I think they'd have been much better off with something that looked a lot more, "evil" and less human.

I'm not sure why Bioware is limiting their alien designs to just stuff with weird legs.

holy crap they are darkspawn.

The Kett are essentially the Borg, to put it simply. That type of villain can be interesting, but I don't think it was in this game. The reason the Reapers worked so well as villains in the first game, is because the game did a great shop emphasizing the level of threat those guys posed. They were massive, intelligent, their motivations were unknown, there was A LOT of them, and they have wiped us out before, more times than we can count. ME1 ended with the threat of the Reapers still hung over us. They were coming.

In this game it's the Borg, and we pretty much know their motivations and what they're about. They're realigous zealots who view themselves as the superior race of the galaxy, and they assimilate other races into Kett. Again, this could've been interesting, but the execution of it felt pretty generic. I don't think the Kett are strong enough villains to carry a new Mass Effect saga.

What Andromeda should've been, is the Milky Way aliens, finding themselves in the middle of a massive galactic war between two factions in Andromeda, and for it to be heavily political, instead of based on race. That way it would open many doors for us to really know what these new races are about, their cultures, and their motivations. Although I don't think Bioware has talented enough writers to do politics correctly.

Dealings with the Kett is being around the Prothean Empire before they got reaped.

When they teased us about oftentimes making uneasy alliances that's exactly what I thought this game would be.  You pick which aliens to side with and which to kill to ensure the MW's surival in Andromeda.

Instead we the random stranger into a new galaxy become hero.

Well it wouldn't be the first time Bioware told us something and then ended up doing the opposite. If Bioware had the talent in their writing department, I would've loved to see Mass Effect: Andromeda, be Game of Thrones in space. Not exactly like Game of Thrones, but people should know what I mean when I say that. Heavily political, morally gray, war, scheming, that sort of thing. What if we weren't a hero? What if we were just some guy, trying to do his best in an overall shit situation? What if we try are hardest to be a good person, but reality keeps hitting us over the head and we have to sometimes do bad things, in order to make the situation just a little bit better?

I'd rather see that, than another typical "Hero rises to stop bad guys". ME2, more specifically any storyline revolving around Omega, proved that this series has always had huge potential to tell a great underground story. 

ME3 was the closest thing we had to f over one group to secure the alliance of another group game.

Combine that with hit style missions of ME2

BANG BANG THE ULTIMATE MASS EFFECT EXPERIENCE

you did see what my last avatar was right?

Yes Lord Commander.

Game of Thrones is not about heroes stopping bad guys. It's about the pursuit of power. If you're referring to the potential unification of the Houses the story is building towards, in order to stop the White Walkers, that's something motivated by survival. The bulk of this story up to this point has been about political figures trying to destroy rival houses and gain more power. The only reason these people would have any interest in joining forces against the WW, is because they're a common enemy that threatens all life in Westeros. Again, survival. 

Jon is the closest thing in the setting to be considered a classic hero, but that does not make A Song of Ice and Fire, a "typical hero rises to stop the bad guys" story. It's been more complex than that. We also don't even know how the story ends.

i didn't say a typical hero stops the bad guy, but at its heart that is what GoT is. Its just the 'heros' (protagonists) have had to go through a lot more shit to get there...and not all of them survived.

And many things you talk about Andromeda needing to have...it has.

Politics? Check
War? Check
A 'hero' that has to make the best of a bad situation and often choosing between morally gray options often for less then ideal results? Check
None real scheming yet...

The difference between the two is more a matter of theme, focus, and presentation

LOL.... I will never argue with you again, colf... There is no point. What a classic! LMMFAO
