Chill Zone (The Tavetaan)

That we can.

If it is similar to Star Wars TOR (online but being story driven) i may check it out later during a promotion, but no pre-order for me after this whole MEA unexpected short support time, half of what they done to ME3 and DAI.

Ryder Sr. puts 20K of Hyperion personnel and both of his kids (and his frozen wife) at risk by committing suicide at Habitat 7. Can't say it's absolutely unethical (because possible death of a person, he personally responsible for, later is better, than certain death of the said person right now), but gambling with this number of lives is unwise. "I know what's best for you and your consent is optional" types are rather unpleasant to deal with (though, in RPGs it's usually either the player or their antagonist).

If EA lifts language/region lock from Origin games, then I'll give Anthem a try. If not, I'm unlikely to import it (as I did ME:A).
For anything else there's not enough information.

I think this game would have been more compelling if it were played from Alec's perspective. I'd have rather have been the Ryder Parent in this situation and dealt with losing the kid at the beginning than the other way around.

nah. playing as alec would have been the same as playing shepard. alec is the badass inspirational hero that everyone trusts and wants to have around to save their asses. ryder is the inexperienced immature replacement everyone gets instead, and it's infinitely more interesting. playing another larger than life superhero like shepard would have been boring

it's not just addison, i remember raeka also talked about how alec inspired her to join the initiative and how he inspired others too. alec is also the one who invented SAM, he is just as much of an icon of the initiative as jien garson. that same kind of respect is eventually accorded to ryder too, but only after you prove yourself worthy of it by establishing the first outpost (and then subsequent achievements). the rest just go along with it at first because you have the SAM implant in your head (which was invented by alec) and the pathfinder team (which was picked by alec). ryder only starts to come into their own as protagonist when they aren't making decisions as if they were piloted by SAM: choosing the type of outpost on eos, establishing diplomatic relations with the angara, solving the exile and krogan conflicts, etc. this is all stuff that takes a leader to solve, which is what alec was and what ryder becomes. mea is the story of a newbie like ryder becoming the badass shepard was; it's like if you were playing shepard before he/she becomes the renowned hero they are at the start of the OT

i get that people might not want this in ME games but i also see a lot of complaints about how bioware 'played it safe' with the story. having a literal copy of shepard as protagonist would have been them playing it even more safe. at least this way with ryder they took a risk to deliberately distinguish them from shepard as their own character

Would have definitely added replayability times a million for me. Players choice to play the upstart kid who earns their place or the battle tested vet. Alec would not have gotten anything but casual romance options, though, considering he's so attached to Ellen he froze her.

Why I said "nothing but casual". In his head,

whoa, wait. Someone somewhere said Ryder was supposed to be 22. I call BS.

Actually if you don't count cryo 22 matches with the DOB

The only reason I finished Jaal's romance....   Reyes rejected my Ryder for being too Paragon and all that remained was the Koala Kitty.

AS I never played ME1, the closest I got to a Hanar was seeing them through some glass in ME2.
