Things we want to see in Andromeda 2

I was chatting with my friends about stuffs we want to see in next andromeda instalment.

Despite of what haters say, I personality think the game is great. The problem is that BW did not polish it enough. However they are already releasing the patches to fix these issues.
As BW said in the advertisement of the game, the theme of the new Andromeda, is the exploration. I think they have done pretty good job to establish the ground work for semi-open world style RPG. Given that theme of the new instalment would still stay in exploration side, my friends and i have some suggestions to reinforce this theme further in either DLC or next instalment. 

In my opinion, BW should really experiement with upcoming dlcs to improve gameplay mechanics.


1. Better Exploration



- More realistic planet wild life - Natural life cycle to animals/ It will be better to see creature behaving life actual animals (ie. feed or sleep like those from Horizon Zero dawn). Don't make all animals hostile to you as well.

- Different types of animals- different ways of dealing with them - this can add in some hunting/ capture or even taming quests as well as resourse gathering.

- Day/night cycle.

- Deadlier and more diversed environmental hazards - Rather than just affecting life support gauge the environmental hazards should have distinct effect - Eg. Extreme cold that affects neural/biotic implants, Sand storms that limit vision, Swamps that limit the charactor/nomad's movement, EMP field that mess up the weapon aiming or nomad control, - This also should introduce different gears and weapon upgrades to buy or research in order to adept to harzardous situation. - I.e Thermal visions, heat insulators etcs

Also you should have ability to manipulate these hazardous situation to use it against enemies.

- Different ways to clear these hazard rather than just activating the vault- This can gives more quest options rather than general fetch quests,

- The effect of environment hazard that affects difficulty of missions - ie. infiltrating into enemy base under sand storm or heavy fog which gives stealth advanages. Or Dealing with enemies who have all the right gears to fight in certain environment while you are ill equipped to deal with such situation.


-More Hidden lores and Special gears to loot (one and only kind stuff).
- Optionals missions to unlock hidden crews or squad mates who give advantage to tackle certain environmental hazards or certain type of enemies/ wildlifes. - like recueing a scientist crew can give you reserch options to craft EMP shielding gears or Animal lures.



2. More diverse quest options - related to exploration


- Different ways of clearing environmental hazards.

- Wildlife hunting, studying, capturing missions - For resource gathering or even taming some to use for settlement defence.

- Sandbox approaches to open world style missions- e.g  You get to sabotage or create diversion while assaulting enemy base. Or infiltrate while using the planet's environment to you advange.

- BW always have been strong with Rail style missions. ME2, 3 missions and Royalty missions from MEA are the proofs. So add more of these rather than adding endless 'search and scan' side quests. 

- Some James Bond style missions like Original ME's Katsumi Goto missions.

- Since we have nomad - Death race style racing missions.

- Upgrading and Defending settlement missions - which is tied to story - Just don't make it like endless quests from Fallout 4's Preston Garvey's mission.

- Hijack a vehicle and escape missions



3. More Andromedan Aliens and diverse enemies.

- New species of Andromedan Aliens - We really should move away from Milky way.

- Enemies using squad tactics based on their classes. - Rather than bullet sponges with big guns, BW should concentrate more on enemy combination. And a certain group of enemies should be able to execute power combos to players too. 

- More heavy stuffs such as hover tanks and mechs or Beast riding calvaries.

- Air supports.



Personal suggestions.

- Please add other Ryder as squad mate.

- Original ME style Squad command options.

- 4th Power Slot - just for singleplayer

- Since Andromeda is more like SW - New Hope
 Andromeda 2 can be darker and more personal like Empire Strike's back or ME2 stories.
 
- Big choices with consequences - Squad mates either - die/live/ betray / or even get exalted to becomes one of the chief enemy. 

- The choices that actually have an impact to the survival of entire outpost. 

- Huge Space or ground combats.
