Here's a clear and close shot of the star-fringed asari. Note: I really like her fringe. Also, she's wearing a bracelet with shiny things. Important tech-tech thing? Her omni-tool-esque thingymabob? I imagine she's the mercenary type so might just be personal tech affects. If the male squadmate is a robot,why he need a helmet?why?to breathe? It could be his helmet is his face or it is there to not upset anyone they might come across, like, he's posing as a human. Unless he's meant to spy on the group, akin to Dr. Core, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to have the suit on, because, uh, new galaxy . Andromedan's don't know what the hell a human is. A human could have robotic limbs and they'd think it was normal, especially if it's the first human they have contact with.

From Bioware's Explorers Wanted Contest. They give us two scripts, maybe they reveal something about Andromeda: SCRIPT 1: Scene One: Jordan Tate is a smart and talented indie documentarian eager to give the real perspective on life in Andromeda. You are playing the role of Jordan Tate.Jordan Tate: Ryder, isn’t it? Jordan Tate, freelance vidmaker. Superintendent Drake’s asked for an “uplifting” documentary about our efforts. Translation: paint rainbows over our problems. But people deserve the truth, not propaganda. Ryder: Perhaps a crisis is a time for hope, rather than hard truths Jordan Tate: If we pretend everything’s fine, who does that truly serve? I want the dirt and blood, not the convenient fairy tale Drake’s looking for. Ryder: Okay. What do you want to know? Jordan Tate: Well, how do you think things are going? Official reports don’t tell us very much. Ryder; I think people should go out and see Andromeda for themselves Jordan Tate: No trouble at all? Are those scars on your armor just from popping the champagne? Never mind. If that’s your take, that’s what goes in. Bandwidth means I’m transmitting in short bursts, so that’s all for now. Analysis:1) Reporters ARE BACK!! We have a man this time, the replacement of Emily Wong or more like Khalisah? 2) He mentions Drake. The leak mentioned someone called Drack? A Krogan? Two different people? 3) Go and see Andromeda for themselves? That means the Milkywayers are waiting in the Arks and they fear to go out?

SCRIPT 2
Scene Two: Two mercenaries talk about some of the difficulties of living on the frontier and being pioneers
in a new world. You are playing the role of the Tough Mercenary.
Tough Mercenary: I got a great deal on the gear we salvaged from the crash.
Here’s your share.
Worried Mercenary: You said we’d split the take evenly!
Tough Mercenary: It’s even. Do the math
Worried Mercenary: I’ve got a family. You don’t. This isn’t fair. We agreed—
Tough Mercenary: To split the profits 50/50. How you feed your family is your
problem
Worried Mercenary: I just keep thinking, what if I hadn’t left the Capital?
Maybe I wouldn’t have to worry about where my kids’ next
meals are coming from.
Tough Mercenary: We’re doing better than some
Worried Mercenary: But I worry that one day I’ll cross Sanders and find my
kids murdered.
Tough Mercenary: Sanders doesn’t kill kids. And you don’t know that
wouldn’t have happened in the Capital.
Worried Mercenary: There were laws back there. Out here, it’s thugs running
the place
Tough Mercenary: A thug wearing the uniform is still a thug.
Sanders was head of security back in the Capital, and look
what she’s become.
Tough Mercenary: Trust me. Things like rule of law, like decency? Out the
window when things go bad.
Worried Mercenary: So you wouldn’t go back? If you got the chance?
Tough Mercenary: Hell, no. It’s not the best here, but I get to decide my life.
It’s what we wanted, right? A new start?
ANALYSIS
1) The Capital. That sounds like a new Citadel-like in Andromeda? Or a code-name for the Citadel?
2) That Sanders they speak was the head of The Capital Security. Sanders seems like a human name, is that her real name? Or just made-up for the script? A police officer went rogue after a tragedy in the Capital seems something like all bad Turians TM would go (if The Capital is The CItadel codename). She could be an Andromedan tho (if the Capital is the citadel version) OR if the game covers decades, maybe she is human in Andromeda police.
3) Looking for a new start from Tough Mercenary's part. But Worried Mercenary came with kids like a refugee?

This phrasing weirds me out, like majority of people somehow are not in Andromeda. Did they officially declare that "The Capital" is Milky Way territory? 80% is that they called Ark like that. It could also be first habitable world Ark stumbled upon, but it seems less likely to me.

I wouldn't put too much stock into anything in the scripts. The DAI scripts had dialogue that was never in the actual game or even referenced anything specific in the game. Instead they make up scenarios that would fit in the setting so they can see how your voice acting will fit in the setting.

But at the same time I think we can learn some aspects of the new Andromeda scenario by reading between the lines

About the male robot squadmate theory...
YES !PLEASEEEE! That would be a nice change. My Ryder would totally romance a male fully self aware AI robot in wonderful Michael Fassbender skin like in 'Prometheus'.There is a lot of story potential there .

I thought a 'taking cover' mocap, but they would have long done that already surely? Why? I have no idea how AAA games are scheduled, other than VA comes towards the end, but the fact that VA comes towards the end is suggestive that all kinds of labor-intensive non-code/non-art stuff comes towards the end, yes? You can dummy-out cover animation for the sake of unit testing and level reviews. Shouldn't be a lot of combat during level reviews anyway, except for boss battles, I would imagine. Also, could be MP animations are different from SP and can be scheduled later. Ah, maybe because the jetpack mocap was done earlier? But that feeds directly into new game mechanics and new engine code, so it makes sense to have jetpack mocap at least roughed out early, to guide coding. But what do I know?

Well, if you zoom in you can clearly see that the monitor is showing an N7 dude with a carnifex shooting at some turian like creature while in cover. There's also a krogan by his side. And you can see part of the HUD on screen. Also his helmet has B74X-3 writed on it, no idea what it could be. Damn, I forgot that this is not a tv show and magic zoom does not exist irl! blast it! (BTW everything I said was BS, also it was a joke) Okay, joking aside I'd agree that it's probably some cover animation of sorts.

It's kinda late for cover animations and I doubt you'd need two people for that. So I guess it's just another cutscene.

Could it be romance? That could be mocapped late on? A 'group' romance scene perhaps? (or just ignore where my thoughts went... )

1. Ark is being built on Earth's orbit. Hold your applauses please. Arks leaving from Earth weren't "just marketing" 2. There is a base of tremendous size on Moon, looking around hundred of kilometers long. Bioware is probably just bad at scales. Edit: That's probably Armstrong - Moon's capital, which could have up to 4 million population. 3. Ark is clearly unfinished - you can see that "engine wings" (for the lack of actual termin I'll just call them like that) are not even attached. Which means Ryders gonna be for quite some time on Moon. Daddy will spend this time training little Ryders to be good killing machines for future colonization?

I know this was discussed in previous pages, there are two versions of the Tech demo from September 2016: one has Aaryn Flynn's voiceover commenting about getting a 4K monitor and all that jazz. The second version has no voiceovers from developers and includes a few extra bits of dialogue that can be heard. That second video is the one I'm linking to you here. Enjoy!!!

This may be 'hiding in plain sight': Are the fun recruitment sessions at Pax West, this weekend Evidence that Ryder's journey in the game starts at recruitment , even if other members of the family are already with the Alliance in some capacity? Ok, it could be either alliance recruitment or N7 programme recruitment, but the sense I get is that the protagonist is well away from being 'N7 programme' ready. Called it?

2. There is a base of tremendous size on Moon, looking around hundred of kilometers long. Bioware is probably just bad at scales. Edit: That's probably Armstrong - Moon's capital, which could have up to 4 million population. Not all of Bioware, but whoever drew that picture. I don't even think the curve of the moon is right, it suggests a very high altitude/orbit that would features smaller than the Copernicus crater hard to see. Copernicus is 93 km in diameter Probably a flawed methodolgy, but I used Celestia to match the curve of the moon shown in the picture, giving me an altitude of 4322 km. The size of Copernicus is about the same size as that near ring shown on the base, maybe a bit smaller. So say the ring is about 100 km across. That makes the base closer to 1000 km across. Not impossible, but seems unlikely. EDIT: Got Copernicus mixed up with Tycho.

Any idea what this emblem stands for? Unless I'm missing something, you're talking about the triangular arrangement, right? It seems more like a part of the armor to me, as it looks too modular to be an emblem in my opinion. (click for full-size) edit: Maybe it's a plate they tacked on to cover an emblem they don't want us to know about? Given it's location, I think it's a something worth considering although not super likely.

Hmm, are you sure about second one being turian? Looks like a krogan from behind to me. Also "sword girl"? Where is the sword?
