It would appear Shinobi has been blessed with a pre-release copy of Andromeda based on his recent twitter post.

They could easily just slip a line in this game that an ark or two's location is still unverified and boom, they can show up in the next game to complete the races

True. I also hope the following games allows us to traverse the entire andromeda galaxy.

These new races look cool but it makes me miss the Drell, hanar and stuff.

So what are the odds that we'll get a surprise Baterian Ship that left right before ME3 as the reapers were conquering them. Then we can finally get bitter Baterian squadmate that whines about never being able to escape humans.

Get hyped for the return of the best horde mode in years!

The Biotic charge looks so good. Can't wait until they reveal more about the progression system. I've read the nice and detailed posts about levels but I'm talking about weapon, new char and loot crates. Do we get the Deluxe and preorder MP stuff on the 16th too or only at launch?

No Batarian squadmate, but hey you get another Asari!
Bray was my favorite part of the Omega DLC.
 
I assume when they describe Jaal as a resistance fighter it means he's fighting with the Angara against the Kett and not some internal civil war on their world?

They mention that the Angara and the Kett have been at war for 80 years by the time of human arrival, so... yeah, I guess?
 

Metroidvania

People called Romanes they go the house?
Hmm...any news on if/when the Sara version of the launch trailer is releasing?

I suppose they could hold it until maybe Thursday to celebrate Early Access, but that feels a bit later than that twitter post kind of intuited.

Pre-order cancelled.
 
Some more feedback:

-Feels good to have squadmates early, they're all going to be around for all the adventure, so you get as much time with them as possible
-Drack is your typical Krogan badass, but a bit more senior. Peebee may divide people, somewhat like Sera
-Side quests had dialogue and always for a narrative reason, which is great
-Story is "strong"; want to explore more


I'm really interested in seeing how Drack's character shapes up compared to Wrex and Grunt. Wrex was a very bitter and jaded Krogan that wanted a better fate for his people, who then turned into something of a savior for his people. Grunt was a bloodthirsty teenager going through Krogan-puberty, so there was a nice contrast between Wrex and Grunt.

Upon first glance based on previews, Drack seems like the Krogan version of Canderous from KOTOR; an old, proud warrior who has a lot of stories to tell. I hope for more than that, but we'll see soon enough.
 
I have been really really wary of this, despite having my preorder since it was announced. Game previews/trailers exasperated how janky the animations and character design seemed.

Good. Bioware shouldn't be afraid to make divisive characters. Not every character needs to be likable to every person.

I agree. Sera was awful though, came off too sociopathic and manic in writing.

I really liked Sera, I thought she was fresh and unique.

Re Krogan, I really hope that there's no time spent on the genophage. We've been through that repeatedly in the original trilogy, to have it pop up again would be frustrating.
