Glad we got some form of confirmation for one race. I hope for a Quarian crewmate. Since they are doing a long term mission some experience on food production on this missions would be necessary.
I don't want another Tali but someone with a less hero worship that Tali had. Maybe a Migrant Fleet exile.

I think so, but I meant that dude on Tuchanka
I really want a krogan mad scientist squad mate. Shit was hilarious.

Ah yes, the actual uh, medical doctor.

his personality was pretty much the same as like the average krogan.

Ehhh
He was a lot more manic.
Plus, his frustration at being forced to design anything other than weapons was hilarious.
Doesn't matter, worth it for the voice acting alone.

I guess. He just seemed to me like what a krogan would be like if he were a scientist. Okeer seemed a little more pragmatic though.

What if poetry krogan is our new squaddie?
He died in ME3 iirc. The rachni mission you can find his logs on his body and bring them to his Asari wife.

Ah, damn, that's right.
The thing with Bioware is that over the course of 3 games they set up the question around the moral decision of whether or not the Krogans deserved another chance and only showed us two Krogans that didn't have war-blueballs. Three if you count Eve, and the other two were in the game for a few minutes.

Are we counting Wrex?
ehh, Wrex could go either way. He's not obsessed with the restoration of the Krogan empire/rebellions. But when I say war-blueballs I'm referring to this weird pathological obsession with violence which IMO would include Wrex even if he doesn't want a repeat of the rebellions.
I just feel like the Krogans need a galaxy-wide... football/rugby league or something. Some kind of brutal sport to vent with.

Krogan Football League would be a hell of a thing.
Edit: Also, I think you're being somewhat unfair to Wrex. His whole thing was about abandoning the old Krogan ways, including unneeded violence. Ending the wars between the clans and all that. Proving that Krogans could be good neighbors.

It'd be nice to get a krogan squadmate who isn't a brute. Would make for a refreshing change.

Cerberus Daily News
The best Mass Effect: Andromeda re-reveal would be them quietly starting up a 'news service' blog again with no fanfare.

Like not acting like it is a big reveal for us to get excited over as if they are bringing us god's gift, but it would be a great resource channel to feed the small info flow we want from dev updates
I do think they screwed up the Krogan in the original trilogy. They made the decision to reverse the genophage a moral one, where the clear 'good' answer was to cure it, but the games themself really did not back making that decision. Throughout the entire series we are constantly shown warlike Krogan, and constantly told how bad it would be for the genophage to be cured, and yet in the end they force the decision on you.
I much preferred it as it was in ME2, where it felt much more like a moral grey choice.

hm, I'm still not sure what you're referring to. I just remember playing Me2 and then walking by the tv terminal things that would radio events of past missions that you completed thus far.

huh?
Every update on the Smash Bros Dojo blog for Brawl- minor or otherwise was an absolute shitstorm. To this day I don't think there was anything like it on GAF.

People don't like when devs or publishers tell everyone to get hyped for new reveals at XX date and then the date comes and they just show off like costumes or something
What he is talking about and what you're thinking about are completely unrelated. He's talking about Bioware's PR plan for Andromeda, not anything in the game.
Indeed. Basically Bioware PR would pretend nothing happened and start doing news bulletins that transition between Mass Effect: Milky Way and Mass Effect: Andromeda.
It was fun seeing them build Mass Effect 3 up a bit with Alliance Network News. They even killed poor Emily Wong in the ongoing story updates. RIP.

oh. is that what down was referring to?
yeah of course. although we haven't seen very much of this game so the next reveal release should be something significant.
hence, why I stated i didn't know what it was about.
The Artisan

well...it's very very likely that there'll be designated threads in the general section for the new news for Me4.
I can already see that stuff leaking into this thread. Witness some of the conversations on the previous two pages, for instance.
I don't understand your confusion. They should restart the blog without telling anyone. Just let a player find out and let fans debate for a couple of days whether the new site is legit or fanfic.
Torn.
Going into Andromeda blind would be great, but I'm aching for some multiplayer details.

Oh I don't doubt that, I'm saying avoiding this thread won't be enough. You might as well avoid gaf for a little while lol when news hits this place, everyone finds out
So is this like an in-game blog or a bioware/ea blog?

Is this going to be the start of a new trilogy or is that still just a popular speculation?
If it is, I wonder if the trilogy will be Mass Effect: Andromeda, and then Mass Effervt: Andromeda 2 and then Andromeda 3, like how they do all the cod sub-series. It'll be pretty annoying if they just do a new subtitle for every single installment here on out imo.

I forgot you were newer to the series. Basically Cerberus Daily News was started up around the same time ME2 released. I can't remember if the feeds made it into the game's startup screen or not. In the leadup to Mass Effect 3 it was changed to Alliance Network News. The releases are a bunch of small color pieces that have fun with the fiction. They could use it to set up the departure from ME:MW if they wanted to do so. This has the really big plus of being able to slip some details of the Mass Effect Universe without necessarily being a spoiler.
So in the days before EA does their big E3 trailer reveal they could give a nod to the developers by creating a story about all the engineers that have readied the Ark for launch.
They have not said it will be a trilogy. A bunch of fans are just assuming that for no real reason.
I'd be shocked if it's a trilogy and not just a series of connected games.

Oh I see. Well I started with Me2, so perhaps this is something I should've been more aware of. But anyways, what's the say here? That people would rather not have such a news network for Me4 so as to go in completely devoid when playing it?
Connected games? You mean like in dragon age? If they're not doing a trilogy like last time it'll feel like the new protagonist won't have the vitality for the franchise that shepard did.
Exactly like Dragon Age.
And that's possible, but by not setting out from the start with trilogy in mind, that means that they can adjust as needed and are not stuck in the ways they were during the original trilogy.
I expect if Ryder is popular, they'll star in multiple games. If not, then they can pull a Hawke and move to a new protagonist that works a little better.
