> The Ryders are at the Bare minimum N7 qualified

What? When was that established? I thought they could just wear the armor because there was no one there to say they couldn't and N7 armor is top tier shit.

The most we know is that the Ryder twins were both INFORMALLY trained by Alec.

> Everyone in the game is at bare minimum as qualified as Shep was in ME1

Not really, I wouldn't imagine a few of them are at that combat level yet, and they didn't have to be, none of the other human squadmates you had were in the N7 program except for James, who hadn't even gotten proper training yet prior to ME3's ending.

N7 is meant to be super soldier tier, there's really no reason to assume every human squad mate is at that level, it's just unrealistic, especially given the face that the Ryder twins themselves are only 21.

>>170684571
N7 is a designation that can only be achieved by valor in the field after achieving N6 training. Vega being offered that position means he basically already was an N7 in everything but name.

>>170684545
They had a long run anon.

>>170684654
Vega was just offered trainingi thought, meaning he would start at N1 and go through till 7 ideally.

>>170684571
That anon is just sperging. The information we have has already established that the Ryder twins were lowly grunts in the alliance military, but that Dadryder gave them some training on his own. What really makes them special snowflakes is the SAM implant that augments their abilities and gives them access to everything. The stripe is, as you said, just them using their dad's armor.

>>170684545
t-that wont happen
will it

>>170684654

Didn't he still need to go through some kind of course before actually getting the designation though? When he talks to you about it, he just says he "got into the program" not that he's a fully fledged N7 yet.

His actions boosted him up to be equivalent to an N6, but I imagine they can't just give you the title of N7 without any formal training with the program.

Is this bad that i actually like Liam as a character? from what i've seen he seems like a bro, and yesterdays stream of his loyalty mission just reinforced that

https://youtu.be/0OitlhG0oIM?t=12m15s Also funny scenes are actually funny, bravo BioWare

I think in terms of Trilogy references i bet Cerberus shows up.

Andromeda initiative is funded by "wealthy benefactors" and as we know that basically means Cerberus is involved somehow.

>JAAL: responds positively to Sara flirting with him, devs have dropped hints about femRyders romancing him. The one Scott player who tried to flirt with him got a negative response, but it's possible they had done something to piss him off.
>VETRA: gets flustered when Scott flirts with her, leaks/rumors suggest that she was originally straight before her writer pushed for her to become bi.

Yeah I'm liking him so far too, he seems like a fun guy, kind of a mix between ME1 Garrus and Kaidan, really positive guy, but still pretty naive and can get worked up a little too easy.

Should be interesting, he's at least one of the more entertaining human squadmate's in the series so far.

It depends on his position. N6 training involves long stretches of placement in a war zone and active combat. If a candidate not only survives but is deemed to have performed exceptionally then they are awarded N7. Unless he was posted to the Normandy as part of this, I think he would be starting at N1.

>>170684849

Have you purchased your new Nvidia GeForce video card yet based on this information?

>>170685017
Well looking at Bioware's history I'm at least betting Cora and Liam are straight. I wasn't trying to suggest everyone is bi or gay, just that we don't know their sexualities for sure.

>>170685063

I imagine he'd be able to use his activity during the reaper invasion to at least get up to N6, but again, it makes sense that they'd at least have to have some kind of formal trial to be proper N7 ranking, seems like they'd need actual tests for it.

Trainees who do well are awarded an internal designation of N1 and are invited to return.

>The highest grade of training, N6, provides actual combat experience in combat zones throughout the galaxy. If the trainee survives these scenarios in "admirable and effective fashion," he or she finally receives the coveted N7 designation. N7 is the only ICT designation that may be worn on field or dress uniforms.

There is little shame in failing an N course - the training is so extreme that even qualifying for N1 elevates an officer to a position of respect. The universal prestige of merely attending the academy helps to restrain trainees from taking excessive risks in pursuit of higher honors.

Although ICT qualification by itself does not guarantee higher rank, those officers who are able to complete the program are typically well suited to senior leadership positions.

If the multiplayer of Mass Effect Andromeda is a nearly 1:1 mirror of ME3's multiplayer, would that make ME:A a guaranteed buy for you, regardless of single player?

Reason I ask is because I never played ME3 multiplayer and hear how close ME:A multiplayer will resemble the ME3 MP. At the same time, I have some trepidation about the single player campaign and how fucked some of the animations and creative design choices were made.

I dont think his voice is that hot. He sounds like he's gonna cum in his pants when he says your name so I wasn't really impressed.

And why is he dark? Why are the gay options like Steve, Gil, Reyes whose apparantly hispanic always dark non-white dudes?

I get why Peebee would want to but why would Jaal? He seems like the solemn, serious type. There's opposites attract and then there's two character types where one would probably annoy the other.

Jaal is a resistance fighter and probably takes battles against the Kett seriously while Peebee has been described as not giving a shit about anything and taking nothing seriously. That doesn't sound compatible.

>>170685397
Pretty sure this guy's a 30x26.

I disagree. Garrus is a lot more laidback and sarcastic than Liam. Also, he's quite like Jacob, except better, and the fact he's black has barely anything to do with it.

I don't know why he couldn't be, like, asian or something, instead of another dindu.

>>170688884
Do you think someone out in there in the big wide world thinks this about Jacob?

Liam is nothing like Jacob from what I can tell. He seems pretty light-hearted and wants to do things like organize movie nights. But then he gets angry and frustrated when he can't find a solution to things and can't retain his natural optimism. This is already 10x more character than Jacob had.

He's actually a lot like ME1 Garrus, who still has some naivete about how the world works, as well as wanting to get the job done to the point of overlooking things and potentially getting over-emotional.

I wouldn't really say he's like Jacob though, more like Kaidan, at least due to the fact that he has a generally positive outlook, only big difference being he doesn't have Kaidan's level of patience.

>>170689145
No, that's a lot like Jacob, except multiplied. Jacob had character, it was just really small amounts of it that hardly showed, thus making him boring. Jacob was rather light-hearted and chill, and he was of course angsty as well. Liam just takes what little Jacob had, increases it exponentially, and adds on a little of hsi own stuff.

>>170689303
Mostly, yes. However, Garrus was rather disciplined and strict, and loosened up later, whereas Liam seems chill from the start.

I argue that he is more like Jacob, due to his civilian training, redpilled idealism, emotionalism, and rather relaxed demeanor. Kaidan had military training, bluepilled idealism, patience, and average demeanor.

>>170689496
>>170689581
Exactly. Think of a more laidback ME1 Garrus.

>>170689496

> Liam is by the book though

Eh, his bio says that he works well as crisis response because he's very adaptable, and pretty much right out of the gate in his loyalty mission he's like "Fuck, ok we're winging it now"

The whole "sneaking in through a container" thing isn't exactly by the book, either.

Is there anyone else in this thread with a 1060 that is legitimately worried about this 30 FPS limit?

Also why is 16GB of RAM on the recommended side? I only have 8...

>>170689489
So far I have seen literally zero visually appealing characters in the entire game. Which is a fucking shame because it's not like the problem is that they're hiding them because of spoilers. We've seen all of them. The problem is bioware's shit character design.

It's kind of amusing how the consensus on Liam has gone from 'fuck off nigger' to 'potential bro tier' in a couple of hours. At least until this place cycles back round into /spol/ again.

>>170689278
that was a good running gag. Some of Scott's barks in the mission were a little annoying, but I figure it'll be like DA2 where they shift slightly to different tones based on the type of responses you've been going with.

Reminder that the only reason Liam is decent is because he was born in the UK and he's not a Basketball American.

>>170689393

Why? People want to know the history of the character they're roleplaying as. Giving us some family is actually going to be an interesting effect on our character, as well as the fact that having a solid background is kind of needed to show why we were accepted into the initiative, rather than us just being there for no apparent reason.

>>170691290
I still think he gets kidnapped by the Kett and his connection to SAM becomes damaged/disconnected so they only think he's dead. No I can't explain how Scott/Sara get his N7 armor, but I find it weird that Bioware has said the game is about the Ryders and they kill off the more important one at the start of the game.

>>170691461
They're a race that has reached evolutionary peak by being able to transform other races into them.

So yes.

>>170691461

It's unknown at this time, but the liquid tanks in the trailer seem to only re-enforce the theory.

Only big difference I can see is that even after the change, the Kett ((seemingly)) still retain something of their minds/personalities, and aren't just cannon fodder, with the exception of maybe the huge beast Kett.

>>170691225

>>170691673

The character we're playing as has their foundations set ((family/background)) as they would need to be for this kind of mission, but you still have control over what kind of person your character is and what they'll do from now on.

Like I said, leaving vague and open would just be boring, and would be a pretty significant plot hole as to why the hell you're even in the initiative if you aren't even given a background.

Vague works fine if you're just wandering around without a strict plot, but in the Mass Effect series you can't really do that, you need the building blocks for your character otherwise they just have nothing to work off of.

>>170691759

Everybody recycles everything in gamedev, this is not a revelation to anybody. It's the inevitability.

>>170692243
Yes, but bioware specifically recycles major story elements from their old games. Something made even more ridiculous by the fact that they've gone to a completely different galaxy this time, so having some of the same major elements appear (ancient tech left behind on many planets by extinct progenitor race, invading alien race that specifically grows by absorbing conquered species into itself) is especially dumb.

Like, we got as far away from the old setting as we possibly could so we don't have to deal with any of the issues created by that story... so let's tell the same story again! Fucking genius!

>>170692636

I'm only hoping that they follow through and make the Kett as a whole somewhat sympathetic. Unlike the Reapers, they're still organics, and still seem to retain their minds or some kind of intelligence from after they transform.

IMO it would be interesting to try and talk with some of them about it, why they chose to be transformed, or just whether they think it was worth it afterwards.

How the fuck would he know that any tech could repair that though? Why would he take such an enormous risk as a supposedly skilled and intelligent leader? Obviously he gets killed off in the first story mission so this makes little sense.

Besides I thought the PAX stream bit just suggested that he tried to interface with Remnant tech and it went wrong. Not all the rest of that or that it killed him.

Could be that they just didn't know the potential, Alec, as the pathfinder, took point and tried to figure out what the remnant tech was, it backfired somehow, and Alec was either killed or something mysterious happened to him.

As it is, it seems like that mission took place on habitat 7, maybe preliminary research showed that the remnant tech could do something against the scourge? Or they may not have had any other option to take action, the ark looks to have been shot down over the planet. Either way, Alec took a risk as he basically had to as pathfinder.

I'm expecting that to be a recurring theme with most squadmates, at least in passing talking about what they left behind and why they left.

Drack and Vetra seem to be the only ones aside from you so far that had family and people they knew before hand there.

>10 whole fucking days before release
>the entire fucking game has already been spoiled
For a game whose only selling point is it's story, not really a good call.
I mean this is why they pushed Multiplayer so fucking hard in ME3, they realized they can't write for shit so they're trying to sell the series on MP.

>>170694432
>Entire game has been spoiled.

Not really. I was actually expecting a lot more to be spoiled by now.

>>170694432
Not really? All that's revealed at this point is the opening arc and parts of two loyalty missions. That's not very extensive.

The early access people are going to spoil a whole lot more than that.

>>170694749
Early Access was a mistake

From what we've seen I like him so far. I like that he seems to get pretty worked up and it looks like you can even argue with him.

Suvi's stripperific spaceboots and skirt are a big turn off. I may have to stick with Cora now

Garrus wanted to be by the book once upon a time I bet. He just decided it was easier to beat people with it.

Fills the void for a couple hours at least.

Shit it's cute. I can't resist this. I hope Liara isn't too upset when you break up with her.

God damn it. Probably seeing how the Garrus romance is as well, not a fan of Liara.

He's worth it. I originally romanced Liara through all three games but realized the only time I genuinely enjoyed her romance was in the ME2 DLC while Garrus just gets better as the games go on.

>>170696173
How do you even fix that?

>>170696210
My first 2 playthroughs of the trilogy were Male Shepard. Picked him in ME1 because I was 12-13. My second playthrough I was going to do Femshep but I liked Male Shepard way too much

I ended up playing through again for Andromeda and I picked Femshep and I'm loving her. The romance with Garrus is great.

>>170696610
what fucking emotion is she trying to convey?

>>170696796

"Jesus Christ what the fuck, Peebee"

I think it does it effectively too

>>170696796
Their ship got fucked up and was hit by something, she's not emotionally reacting to someone.

>>170696796
She's trying to stave off world war brown, realizing that two fiber one bars and half a pot of coffee wasn't the smartest breakfast.

>>170696881
But don't you like le so quirky xDD dialogue, anon?

>>170696881
I'm fine with a lighter tone especially after the entire trilogy was "oh fuck literally everyone in existence is getting kidnapped and murdered and shit"

>>170696881
Honestly the humor in liams mission seemed allot better than the serious shit they've shown in andromeda.

Then again if it's all fucking wacky it's gonna wear out quickly.

A lighter tone doesn't have to mean "le so quirky xDD dialogue"

Mass Effect 2 had Mordin singing Gilbert and Sullivan, Mass Effect 3 had Shepard and Garrus flying on top of the Citadel and shooting bottles together. There were the scenes at the normie club in ME3 that were fun.

It probably just means that the entire game doesn't revolve around literally everyone in existence dieing horribly.

>>170697093
>A lighter tone doesn't have to mean "le so quirky xDD dialogue"
You're right, but did you actually watch the gameplay footage?

>>170697093
Even when it did revolve around everyone dying it had it's moments.

>>170696994
??

>>170697093

It seems like it's generally going to be a more hopeful story in general, the main point itself is you trying to find a new home for your species, not you having to prepare for a catastrophic galaxy rending event that's likely to kill every single space-faring race.

Shit, even ME2 had a lighter tone in general than the other two games, with the exception of around the last third of it when shit got real. I imagine that's how it's going to go in Andromeda as well.

>>170697201
From what I did see, Peebee was the only one with a lot of that dialogue and I'm just going to ignore her.
