Mass Effect: Andromeda – The Journey Ahead (The Real Big News)

Yes, there was no such thing as #RetakeMassEffect... oh, wait.

Sure, months of videos, forum and social media posts by the majority of devoted fans - countered by constant ridicule and mockery by the industry AND the games media - until BW did even acknowledge there might a problem... totally the same.

This seems like a reasonable start to me. Proof will obviously be in the proverbial pudding.

I love that they're increasing the inventory limit, improving m/m romances and making the planetary transitions skipable! I'm also looking forward to (eventual) increased CC variety.

What is up with straight guys whining that they can't have Suvi? They already have more romance options than any other players, and some really good ones, at that. Just be grateful for the options you have - you know?

As someone who suffers from tired face syndrome I found it just as insensitive as the poor handling of the only trans representative character in the game. Shameful BW



Edit:   /s   because in 2017 who the hell knows what is sarcasm or just plain idiocy

By the time all these are fixed I will have probably finished the game and move on (...i have a huge backlog and not much time so... ;( ) so good luck to the team and to everyone who will enjoy a more stable and improved gaming experience .

I will probably replay it in the future along with my Trilogy playthroughs. I just can't start a new playthrough right away.I never do that.

We are still talking about video games here... right? 'Cause I'm pretty sure you aren't...

...but I get it. Look, I'm not saying you are responsible for your privilege, you just have to acknowledged it and... do something about it.

Really? I personally don't care for Suvi; she has a cute accent, but her personality isn't my type. Maybe that's why I don't get the hype. I would actually prefer Cora. Go figure!

But that said, both f/f and m/f players have a good amount of romance options, so the only ones that really need to be shored up are the m/m ones. I mean, they have two choices total - super unbalanced. I'm glad Bioware is going to address it in some form.

The easy way out... shocker.

I honestly didn't expect them to fix the transition times between planets (allowing skip) to be honest they put a lot of work into that art and I expected them to hold their ground so this is surprising. I for one won't skip but I know some people want to.

The enhanced gay Scott romance is an interesting addition. I figured they would add one or two in a dlc and leave it at that, but to patch into the existing game, thats interesting. Will they add an additional romance (Jaal?), expand upon the existing, or perhaps add a whole new one (the Turian Pathfinder seems like an obvious and easy one).

I disagree with decreasing the cost of decryption keys. I rather solve the puzzles but I guess some people want it spoon fed to them.

Look forward to additional character creation options.

All in this is what I expected largely from Bioware, I know they tend to be somewhat responsive while acknowledging they can't make everyone happy.

Oh no, believe me I'm not saying you should sympathize. 

The level of entitlement gets to be a little much at times. 

Generally I feel like if the writer intended a character to have certain definitions like if they are gay or maybe only into elves, then that's that...It's their creative choice. That will upset some, delight others and that's how the world works. I've met people that I can't engage in a romance with in real life, and I didn't demand they rethink being with me. 

However, considering how toxic discussions around romances and PC/NPC orientations can get you may have a point that everyone being bi might be a good option in the end. It does put off certain people who think everyone has to be defined somewhere on the spectrum, but if characters are just player-sexual and discussion of their preferences are never really address I have a harder time seeing people being upset (they'll find a way though)

I think a lot of people treat the romance characters as superior to the others in terms of quality. I mean it makes sense on certain terms in that you will typically get more content, and share some rather intimate moments, but some of the most rewarding relationships in the OT were non-romanceable or friend-path characters.  A lot of those interactions feel much more authentic because they can build on a dynamic that isn't simply "I like you do you like me? Lets make kissy faces together"
