>>166707637
Thanks for proving my point.

>>166707140

Bioware likes to add accessories to characters for some reason. Sometimes they do it just to differentiate one character from another such as markings on Turians.

I like the scar on Jaal though, it makes you wonder how he got it. But more than likely, it'll never be addressed. It helps the character have a history, I guess. But I'm on the side of the fence that thinks if you're never going to bring it up, why even bother.

>>166707428
My point about Alec is more that he must have moved into some sort of black ops that went bad. Again referencing the Cerberus/TIM connections with Shanxi and Harper. This is probably more involved than anything we're going to get in the game w/r/t back story.

I am just trying to figure why a guy who would or should be an admiral by now would be a literal who running away to a new galaxy with his two kids who were just starting off their military careers in very comfortable postings. Neither of them is front line colony defense. Scott is literally like one of those fat ass cops sitting around the Capitol building since he was posted on Arcturus.

It says in addition to his military service he's a scientist, is married to a scientist, and was an explorer before going N7.

Seems to me that a guy like that would retire from the military to private and pursue a ground breaking exploration mission with his wife rather than being a career military desk jockey.

I'm glad it has absolutely nothing to do with Reapers and intergalactic exploration is more interesting than An Ancient Evil Awakens (although I guess we're getting that anyway)

>>166707898

The sad thing is, while interesting, the reasoning is going to be intertwined with the origins of the Andromeda Initiative. Which within itself make little to no sense in relation to the events that were transpiring in the Milky Way at the time.

I'd be seriously surprised if Cora had anything to do with TIM and it wasn't some random naming accident.

>>166708241
I like the smaller scale but I think they're still going to stick to the same formula and that will inevitably make people draw comparisons to the OT. I think Bioware just suck at personal stories so they have to have some dumb big threat that you fight against.

If they radically changed the way they wrote the game and didn't just play it safe it would be less of a problem I think but yeah, it feels underwhelming.

>>166708551
The AI has nothing to do with the Reapers or escaping the Milky Way. The project started a decade before anybody knew they existed.

>>166708783
Wasn't it expedited or some such because of the discovery though?

>>166708856
>Founded in 2176 and launched in 2185, the Andromeda Initiative is a civilian, multi-species project created to send scientists, explorers and colonists on a one-way trip to settle in the Andromeda Galaxy. With powerful benefactors lending their support, the program has grown substantially in scope since its inception. The Initiative’s ultimate goal is to establish a permanent presence on the seemingly resource-rich frontier of Andromeda, and eventually create a reliable route between it and the Milky Way Galaxy.

Nothing has said that. Also the ultimate aim being to set up return travel means they're not there to hide from the Reapers.

>>166708856
BioWare keeps saying no but it doesn't gel. Given the N7/human connections they would all be aware of Shepard's claims and probably be more likely to believe him than anyone else in council space.

>>166707317
Andromeda does give me pretty strong Star Trek vibes so far. JJ Abrams Star Trek, mind you, but still.

>>166710739
I had the same team throughout ME1, ME2, and ME3.

>>166710739
With ME2 I actually mixed it up quite a bit depending on who I felt was most appropriate for a mission from a story perspective.

In ME1 I used Tali + Wrex some 80% of the time. I only used the others on a few missions each because I felt bad and didn't want them to miss out on the fun. And because the story of later games treats every ME1 squad member as having killed tons of enemies and done crazy shit in ME1 regardless, so I want that to make sense.

In ME3 I also mix it up a bit, with some being basically mandatory for certain missions (Javik+Liara on Thessia, LI+EDI on Cronos, Liara+whoever in the monastery, Tali+VS in Sanctuary, etc.) But my go-to is for side missions and DLC missions are Tali and Garrus. Two reasons: one, I like their voices. Two, I just think it works best from a character pespective. They're Shepard's oldest and most trusted companions, and one is Shepard's lover, so they work well together and are the go-to team. Plus, I like the idea of the burnt out cop and young shotgun-wielding pilgrim becoming army-crushing terrors and eventually wracking up enornous body counts in the hundreds by the end of the series.

There are also some quests where who went there is more or less canonical, i.e. the team who went there is referenced as a specific duo even if you brought someone else. Like how Tali and Garrus were canonically the team on Ilos, where they had a body count competition.

>>166709818
The chicks in The Witcher 3 generally all have the same physical characteristics. In that picture all 3 of them have basically the same mouth. Even if you can't pinpoint it exactly, there is something that makes them all look like one another minus hair style/color and eye color.

Regardless, they are still better designed than the left and in general without any comparison TW3's character designs are aesthetically interesting.

PeeBee in particular looks like shit. Cora has a mum haircut and the black chick is an NPC which means her assets are probably comprised of what we'll get in the CC. Because you know, your custom Ryder is going to be walking around looking like all the NPC's.

Why would you think that? I mean, he was on an extremely influential mission, but Grissom was the leader, so he gets all fame and the shit named after him. Compare that to us, you think many people outside of the scientific field even know who Michael Collins is? Let alone bother to name anything after him?

Nope. It's just you, Tyrone.

Do Turians raised/born in non-turian territories get facial paintings?

>>166731086
They probably still get them after their parents.

>>166731086
The face markings are supposed to be for Turians raised on colonies, but Garrus had face markings then in ME3 he said he was born on Palaven and all his family was there.

Face markings mean whatever the dev team want them to mean and there's no need to think about continuity in this series.

>>166730795
>>166731038
when I went through the last thread without watching the videos I thought it was just one anon constantly misspelling Jamal and meaning Liam

>>166731714
What if the turian is adopted? Would the markings just resemble a flag?

>>166731086
Probably some do if they identify with the colonies' efforts or those of a specific colony.

>>166732939
>EDI will give you a heads up when you enter a system with one of those
Is this definitely true? i.e. if I make it so I gain so many resources I barely ever have to scan, I can still find all missions by simply entering each system once?

>>166731086
It will be interesting to see if there is the creation of new marking for any Turian colonies in andromeda.

Of all the faults in DA2, one thing I did like was that Hawke didn't manually pick individual crafting mats. Instead he identified/secured sources of crafting material and the peon armorsmith would receive the materials and craft shit for you. It wasn't great, but it was a step in the right direction.

The mako was a great vehicle, honestly. Better than the Hammerhead for sure.

There were definitely complaints about the Mako's handling, that's why they keep harping on the NFS team helping them with the Nomad's controls/weight.

>>166736568
Because the Tempest lands and the Nomad drives out of what was the shuttle bay.

>>166736474
It's not even that hard to scale mountain ranges, just use your jump jets to worm in-between the gaps.

>>166736568

How does that even happen though? It suggests that they were smart enough to see that ME1 Shepard would never agree to help Cerberus and would be focused on stopping the Reapers but ALSO being dumb enough to think making him space Jesus is the best option (that's not even mentioning that his motivation shouldn't change due to that)

theyre not really mutually exclusive, but yeah i pick Tali

>>166738024
i might be a disgusting talicancer, but even i am glad theres no quarians or geth
their whole arc ties way too much in with the whole Organics v Synthetics shit, and since ME:A is trying to get away from that, quars or geth would be really out of place

There's no way they're ditching this.

Andromeda Initiative. AI. Sam, the AI on board. The AI implant in every member of the pathfinder team. It's all over the fucking game.

>>166738737
It's going to be the same as ME3's coop horde mode w/ microtransactions thing. Except now they nerfed the combat skills/pause menu so that it plays identical to single player.

Only three active skills, you can't pause and issue orders like you could in ME1-3. They said they wanted to remove the 'turn-based' element.

>>166739194
But thats already how the ME3 multiplayer works.

>>166738994
Citadel is fanservice weeb shit and can be safely skipped. The rest of the DLC is ok. Overlord has a weak ending. Omega does not integrate into the main game like you would hope it would, but it's enjoyable enough.

>>166738298
It tries to do too much. It needs to separate Shep from the crew, ally him with new people, keep him the underdog in terms of politics, and keep everyone from just trusting him again.

Ta mate, I only ask because I remember the Mattock was fun as fuck in 2.

The only thing I've ever modded is the mag/reserve size on some of the weapons that carry like 20 bullets total.

How do Shepard's implants even respond to his mood and outlook in life so he looks like a demon?
Is it mass effect fields?

its ALWAYS mass effect fields

all joking aside, its never really explained

>>166740950
No, but I've used the Lancer near exclusively once Citadel came out.

>>166741363
I thought it was explained as his immune system rejecting the implants as foreign bodies. Which would be aggravated by stress.

Why does Bioware not just find actors who can both be the face and voice of their characters?

>>166743042
Why the fuck would you willingly save this abomination on your computer?

>>166743093
Are you retarded? Because 90% of voice actors are ugly as shit you moron.

Never had problems with ammo in the series. Maybe heavy weapons ammo in certain situations, such as the praetorian fights in ME2.

What's everyone favorite weapon in the series? Mine is pic related from ME3.

She's disgusting but in just the right way if you know what I mean. I'd eat out her poop shute any day.

>>166744652
all the weapon designs in this series look like shit.

>>166744976
Why?

>>166744652
Piranha in ME3, Mattock in ME2

>>166744976

I was never really a fan of the weapons design in Mass Effect.
