Schubalts: Nov 26, 2007; People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.

A year before the massive reaper invasion, not a year before the first game.

Also the geth were around before that, but nobody had made contact with them in a long time as they remained on the outer edge of the galaxy, IIRC.

Yes, the Geth had stayed at the Quarian homeworld and their Dyson Sphere, until they made contact with Reapers. Then they started moving in and attacking.

Doesn't sound like there are relays in Andromeda, since the trip there takes 600 years.

They've already said that you can romance/gently caress multiple people, and that on a per-character-basis they may or may not be fine with it.

I'm sure in the centuries since the genophage was unleashed a female krogan or two got tired of Space Sharia and dipped out on a passing freighter. Not to mention prior to that, they lived on many worlds that weren't Tuchanka.

Also what is some other Krogan gonna do? Tell her, a most likely fertile female, she can't go wherever the hell she wants? Good job, idiot, you just pissed off one of the few ways your genetic line will ever continue. As we saw on Tuchanka, the female Krogans hold pretty much all of the social power, and the threat of never having a chance at children was incredibly strong.

A female Krogan saying "Hey, let's go check out this other galaxy full of adventure, new worlds to see, and things to fight" would get a ton of male Krogans tagging along, especially younger ones who aren't quite as jaded as their elders.

They were like "Holy poo poo, there's nothing to fight in ME3 but husks!" so their solution was to give Cerberus a big hulking army out of nowhere.

But Cerberus's army was basically all husks. These husks just had guns and sweet stormtrooper outfits.

Their armor was poo poo. I miss the days when we could actually see out of our helmets.

With what Cerberus did to create the Nemesis enemies, the stormtroopers probably have implants connected directly to their helmets' visors.

That's the funny thing about Kai Leng.

There's a bunch of that in the game already.

Thane talks about how lovely he is to lose to a dying drell. Bailey stops him by hacking the elevator. And Shepard spends the whole last encounter talking about how he's a whiny little loser.

I think a decent chunk of the writing team thought of him the same way the played does. It's just that it wasn't unanimous.

Shepard even calls him out on needing to get bailed out by a gunship on the Asari homeworld. Kai Leng gets so mad and whiny when Shep says it.

I hope you can still headbutt as a Krogan in multiplayer

Sudden Krogan mosh pits were great. All it took was one person jamming the button and everybody else would run over and join in.

And then a pyro would spray fire everywhere. And speaking of pyros, it was amazing how many people would freak out if you played a geth soldier in pyro colors and used the flamethrower on them.

New Ryders are looking good. After the gameplay trailer, I'm cautiously optimistic about Andromeda.

They are the same as before. The only change in those character kits was the lighting settings. Lighting has a massive effect on how a person/character looks.

It's been ages since I've played Jade Empire but I think you can trigger that scene (and even finish the game) without realising that it is incest.

Looked it up to check, and you can. You find out if you progress another follower's sub-quest before a certain point in the story.

Never forget Dad Ryder remembers a time before FTL and aliens, decided to gently caress off to a totally different galaxy in technology that would seem totally unfeasible at the time of ME1.

What would seem unfeasible about cryostasis pods and a long-journey colony ship, at the time of ME1?

There's no realistic way to continue the story in the Milky Way after ME3's endings. Instead of getting into that quagmire of choice carry-overs, we're getting a completely new galaxy. It's a soft reboot.
