So it turns out that the character whose appearance I thought I had been spoiled on way back when was either not the character I thought it was or was not a squadmate at all because the character whose appearance and name I'd been spoiled on ust today would have been that character but wasn't.
Huh, unspoiled by a spoiler.

Now at what point can I reasonably start playing the early access without ending up having to stop playing because I've exhausted the early access time? Bearing in mind I'm in the UK and it releases at 11pm on the 22nd here. I'm thinking it's got to be Monday 20th, if I start any earlier I'll end up sat there several days moping becuase I've had to stop playing. I'm not sure I quite understand? The early access for Mass Effect: Andromeda lasts for 10 hours and as far as I know, it releases on the 16th March for everybody regardless of locality. Mass Effect: Andromeda releases on the 22th March for Europe so are you asking for the best way of spreading those ten hours out over those six days? That was what I meant. However, problem solved, I've been landed with auditors that week, so no gaming for me.

There is a new version of the game guide (+ other goodies) available at the Bioware store. www.biowarestore.com/mass-effect-andromeda-pathfinder-edition-guideLink goes direct to product page. No squad or character info. One character name is mentioned Jien Garson and the char's role/position in the story. Limited edition item. Kinda spendy for what you get, but it looks nice.

I wouldn't say I consider Anders to be an unrepentant monster: a heavily flawed man who does and can do terrible things sometimes because of how he and Vengenace influences each other. I do consider his plan to be all kinds of counterproductive to his goals: he intends to force a conflict between mages and templars into an open rebellion but seems to fail to consider that the mages are unprepared for something like that, don't have the support structure to do that and have very limited, if any, resources. Also, what he did can basically be used as an example to demonstrate how true all the worst suspecions about free mages are. But yeah, that's not something that we should start discussing in this thread. Just wanted to share my last thoughts on it before moving on. I hope there'll be a romance with a member of an Andromedan race. I know that sounds vague but basically I can see so many interesting ways that romance could go about and what it could potentially explore. I would still like to see alien customs being delved into during romances with aliens such as turians. I don't need for it to be the focus of the romance, just think it could be nice and interesting to see. And I'll just say that I disagree. I'd be surprised if there isn't an Andromeda alien romance. :dirty: I'm not personally picky in terms of race for LIs, so I hope it's an interesting character. You know, it just happened to be that most of my favored Bio LIs are all human, but I guess humans do outweigh "other" in both series. I wonder if there wil be a plot-relevant LI; I have a knack for picking those. :heh: I certainly hope we have some interesting new aliens and don't spend too much time, um, "rehashing" the Milky Way ones that might come along. Unless there really is something new to learn, I suppose. I'm just so curious about what's ahead, with story and characters and Almost hard to believe we're already so close.

So Mass Effect: Andromeda is now run as add comemrcials: I ran into one on www.azaleasdolls.com/ when a game was loading. I don't know where else it is run but I thought I'd give a heads-up. It features spoilers such as squadmates.

No new briefing yet but there does seem to have been some news recently or so, I think. There was a loyalty mission that'd been shown and I know that, at least, one squadmate was confirmed as romanceable because I've seen a kissing scene.

I don't know if that means the last briefing will drop today as well but I'll keep checking. Also, Pax East is next week, March 10th through the 12th and Andromeda is going to have a presence there. I'm not sure what they plan on doing, but my husband has been to a few Pax East conventions and depending on the company, they usually have demo's to play, so there might be some more info leaking next weekend. Just wanted to throw that out there as well.

So gameplay "Exploration & Discovery" trailer is out. Nothing there I personally minded knowing, but if you don't want any glimpses of squad members or other characters or don't want to know some details about one of the planets you can land on, I'd skip it. (WARNING: Characters in the thumbnail)

Not going anywhere near that. Too many spoilers. But I don't mind learning about gameplay mechanics and things. Back on page 11, I did an overview of the fifth briefing about combat but the actual briefing is safe to watch provided you skip past the beginning and turn off the sound. The combat only shows the female protagonist in her armor and no squadmates. it dosen't even spoil any locations or enemies since it takes place in a simulation that is not in the game as far as I can tell*.
After some consideration, I would actually say that I think the video is safe to watch provided said watching is done after a certain amount of time has passed and if it is played without sound. The squadmate only appears in the opening and is otherwise only a voice. This means that the rest of the video after the opening scene should be safe for those that want to see the gameplay but not the squadmate. The pop-ups as well only contain images and text of weapons so those are safe as well.
For those curious and interested, it should be safe to watch the video after forty seconds as long as you play the video without sound.
Link: www.masseffect.com/andromeda-initiative/training-hub/weapons-and-biotics
Note: there's a content disclaimer at the end of the video about the gameplay that gives me this impression as the combat featured is from the game which suggests the enviroment in the simulation (and, of course, the beginning of the video) is not.

Can confirm. The IGN video titles "The First 13 Minutes of Mass Effect Andromeda" contains spoilers. Specifically the first 13 minutes of the game.

The Exploration trailer dropped, as did IGN's reveal of the start of the game. It's all going slightly mad... IGN! Knock it off with all these reveals! I went on YouTube to watch the exploration video and that IGN video auto played right afterwards. I wasn't really paying attention as I got a text from my daughter's daycare, and when I looked back at the screen, it was playing :gasp: So yeah, be careful everyone because IGN not only had a loyalty mission to show but they now have the first 13 minutes of ME:A as well. I personally am fine with the gameplay videos but I don't want to see a whole mission or how the game itself starts out. majesticjazz As far as the exploration video goes there are a few characters shown with and without masks as well as new races and planets. I would probably avoid this if you are trying to go in as blind as possible. I actually looked away for a few seconds here and there because of a character being shown. The galaxy map is shown and discussed as well finding resources and how to develop fast travel locations on planets. Sorry, this probably isn't too helpful, I'm trying to be as vague as possible as I don't want to spoil anyone. Are there any specific questions you have that I can try to answer?

Thankfully Iron fist comes out thy weekend I’m only planning on exploring the character creator and playing the opening as well as maybe past it if I have time left. I want to take my time with the game like listening to every conversation, exploring the environment and such. I don’t expect I’ll get far in the game but I don’t think I’ll enjoy it if I don’t take my time and if I’m worried about the limited time. This is also why I'm not making any plans to divide the hours out over the different days before the game's release.

Eeeep! The beginning of the game is out there... That is something I really don't want to see in advance. Thanks for the warning everyone.
Think I will start my early access on the 20:th. Since I'm in Europe and don't want to wait it feels like a good fix. Might start a day or two earlier depending on how my schedule looks that week, know I don't have much time during the weekdays for gaming. Just a few days more. Trying everything to keep myself occupied and away from interesting things to read concerning ME:A.
Saw the Mass Effect: Andromeda Pathfinder Edition Guide. Would have been fun to have something like that but I will stick to my current order, got all the bonuses except the one for MP. Would have been fun to have something fun for keepsake but will get something else for memory. I just got an old box with stuff from my parents when they cleaned out the attic. Looked through it and it was some really old My Little Ponies, and all my old games. Torment, Baldurs Gate and Baldurs Gate II. Tomb Raider II and III. Morrowind and Torment. It was so much fun to see them again, thought that they were lost. All the CD's, old maps and stuff. I will get something for ME:A, just don't know what yet.

Yeah I just really want to make sure I have a nice chunk of time for monday night with some overlap, just in case. Once I start that campaign I don't want to stop because the game says so. I'll stop when I say so.
