>NEXUS LVL 1

So the Quarians were obviously meant to be sort of muslim gypsies.
Volus were Jews
Were the Turians and Krogans inspired by any particular faith or culture?

>tfw cancerous talimancers annoyed me so much I actually started hating tali
>treated her like shit throughout ME2

Who?

If anyone are Muslims it's the Drell, the whole thing about submitting to Allah and the Drell submitting to the hanar

I presume that stats work differently in this game

It's the multiplayer

>implying there was ever a chance for peace

>Turians
either imperial Rome or fascist Germany
>Krogan
pre-rebellions? probably the Songhai empire in west Africa
post? literally any other time in African history

fucking kek
im not even mad, just amused

I fucking knew it, they're doing another Inquisition.
Cause shallow base building was so well received the first time.

Explain.

The game isn't Inquisition, stop crying faggot.

see

This info is from the EA investor call today. For comparison purposes, Fallout 4 sold 12 million units in first 24 hours.

Do the low sales expectations coincide with this shitty marketing push? Is EA just sending this game out to die so they can kill off BioWare for good?

except the drell dont fucking torture and murder people for not being drell or Enkindled (what im guessing they call people who follow the Enkindlers religion)

well, its stupid

man, dont be like that
we're all friends here

I'm gonna marry Jaal!

Explain what exactly? There are 2 points being made

No, the marketing has been explained repeatedly in every thread.

Mass Effect is not Fallout or Elder Scrolls.

>except the drell dont fucking torture and murder people for not being drell or Enkindled
But they do submit to the will of the hanar, and do everything possible to fulfill their wishes.

but Fallout 4 is normie garbage, and was super hyped up after everyone """"loved"""" Toddout 3 and Toddrim

nobody likes Mass Effect after The Ending, and the marketing campaign has been rather unsuccessful. and it was always a niche genre/series

>yfw Jaal isnt romanceable

Thematically and premise wise, you're right.
But mechanically they're going to include weak open worlds and shallow base building as case-cover features.

How the Nexus levels are related to the multiplayer, do you fight for resources to upgrade it?

Really? So you'll be able to provide sources for that information, right?

but they dont HAVE to
Thane explains that, under the Compact, drell are not REQUIRED to serve the Hanar, but do so anyway out of sheer gratitude

compare that with islamic countries, where people get killed in the most brutal ways possible for not being exactly like everyone else
>tfw being a normie is the only way to stay alive

>Turians
>Imperial Rome
Stop trying to force that, theyre nothing like Rome

Also
>fascist Germany
kys

>Implying Mass Effect isn't a normie garbage version of an RPG
The Ending killed its long term growth where Fallout 4 has had modest long-term sales since nobody overtly hated that game when they were done with it.

Fallout 3, Skyrim and Fallout 4 all had generally solid praise by people who would recommend it to their friends (ie the most effective form of marketing).

ok mr. smarty pants, what are they like then?

>Also
>>fascist Germany
>kys
arguably, the Nazis rising to power was a good thing
for Germany
not really for anyone else

>When the most recent YouTube video of Andromeda has been on trending for the entire week on YouTube
Sure

What's wrong with fascist Germany?

We know Andromeda is going to have open worlds, and assuming they haven't learned anything from DAI (given that DAI sold well), they're going to take the same design philosophy to them with this as well.

The Nexus is the main Citadel-replacement in Andromeda and the fact that it has levels suggests it will act like the Inquisition-leveling and Skyhold-building in Inquisition, since part of the theme of Andromeda is scouting out new worlds for humanity.
So you level up the Nexus and you can choose some flavor details for the settlements you help establish and after that they'll never be relevant again except maybe if you need to settle 3 towns for a mission or story-block

yeah, The Ending both ruined the legitimacy of sequels, and guaranteed loss of the customer base, especially when the reviews came out

>nobody overtly hated that game
but i did user

>cyberpunk love-letter to classic 80's sci-fi
>not niche
oh wait, this isnt Mass Effect anymore
its Dragon Age: Space

imagine
if they did what Fallout 4 did
>Pathfinder, a group of batarian raiders has attacked a colony! I'll mark the system on your map!

>How the Nexus levels are related to the multiplayer, do you fight for resources to upgrade it?

It was said by Bio developer that it is the multiplayer level, how the fuck should i know anything more about it?

>When the most recent YouTube video of Andromeda has been on trending for the entire week on YouTube

It's their algorithms trying to appeal to you user, don't trust VI's

According to BSN "leaks" he is by men and women.

Nobody knows shit about Vetra though. I'll laugh pretty hard if she's a dyke

I would be on cloud nine if they at least did what Fallout 4 did.
but they cheaped out with Inquisition and no one complained so I doubt that EA will go the extra mile here.

>Pathfinder, a group of batarian raiders has attacked a colony! I'll mark the system on your map!

I'm absolutely fucking sure there are going to be quests like that, and i'm already pissed about it

>He wants Andromeda to be more like Fallout 4

Get. Out.

Also pic related Vanguard is grayed out, WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

oh
good
ya hear that Jaalnon? you CAN marry him

>if she's a dyke
do you have any doubts? any at all? remember who's making the game

>implying Bethesda went the extra mile by putting in those godawful settlements

i fucking hope not, goddamn
good thing i have no expectations for this shitty game, so i wont be disappoint when it bombs

fug forgot the pic

reeeeeeeeeeeee

We are 47 days to the release, where the fuck is marketing?

Thermal clip user, you don't remember?

Who wants free shit?

I found a trove of stuff I piled years ago, get it before I delete the account.

They've not like Rome because unlike imperial Rome, the Turians have a strict hierarchy that the political nature of imperial Rome just does not fit at all.
This might sound stupid but the Turians are like a mix of the Spartans and Aztecs

a culture entirely based off of military, mandatory military service, hierarchical meritocracy government, and overwhelming the enemy with vastly superior numbers and force.

I know their are little things like the name of Turian colonies or systems, but the only way the Turians could be considered like Rome is if you completely ignore everything but the Roman legions.

You know what the more I wrote this, the more I realized the dumbfucks at bioware probably did model the Turians after Rome but everything they knew about it came from watching Gladiator

I meant the Turians were nothing like fascist Germany.

also there was plenty wrong with fascist Germany.
For example, getting millions of your people killed.

It means this is not a biotic character, so biotic abilities are not available. I think you decide if you want biotics at character creation.

I'm all up for free shit but sorry user, there's nothing interesting there

I hope so, they took away mine waifu, but they won't take away my biotic charge

see >

But that would be more than the absolute nothing we got in Inquisition.
I'd like a bit more effort in any way and any consideration for ME:A but in all likelihood I'm just never going to get it.

Cute drawing, good night user.

Night talimancer.

Thanks for sharing but too lazy to ask for anything. Morrowind artbook looks interesting though.

>Spartans

Turians weren't that extreme. I'm thinking more of imperial Japan. Maybe Rome during her Republic days, I also thought of Prussia.

Why can't I find all of them

Will Bioware discriminate against cuckolds?

Will I as a black Ryder be able to have a white father? This is potentially problematic.

Yes that's her.

Prussian dinosaurs sounds about right.

It don't.

Probably form the Nvidia CES presentation earlier last month. Here's a video of it:

It's probably a still taken from when the menus was navigated through.

Thanks user.

I hate how they made the tempest look like the SR2 but just added more wings.

I'm an SR-1 man myself.

It looks nothing like the SR2.

Alliance SR2 not the Cerberus shit

blue>orange

That suit and that jet dash and those robots give me Vanquish vibes

Ain't that a nice looking figurine of a space man?
gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2017/01/31/mcfarlane-reveals-female-ryder-mass-effect-andromeda-figure.aspx?utm_content=bufferb4417&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

Its the same general shape. I wish they went with a different looking ship.

I REALLY like the design of this ship though

As long as the helmet is on

Will it be better than these?

>dem tits

For starters it's not an action figure so thats a +
The quality of molding and painting looks decent, heck if they will be available here i might even buy one

There are some more there, I think
alteya.deviantart.com/gallery/55930600/Mass-Effect?offset=0

I didn't see this posted in the last couple of threads. But the game will not have dedicated servers or cross play support.

gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2017/01/30/mass-effect-andromeda-multiplayer-will-not-support-dedicated-servers.aspx

No one was really expecting either, but it would've been a pleasant surprise.

Thanks.

Goddamn deviantart is always 2 clicks away from wedding fanart.

It was my OTP but I still cringed.

Wouldn't want cross play on PC desu.

Here's Garrus!
Say something nice to him!

You're okay.
And this running gag is stupid as fuck.

The SR2 is a piece of fucking shit, seriously. It basically embodies everything wrong with ME2 as well.

This one is brilliant.

nah

*incoming shitstorm*

Every fucking thread. You guys just mad he has a point.

I also like that if you look at it from the side it sorta looks like a human silhouette.

>10

wew lads we're off to a good start.

Im playing through mass effect and Im choosing Kaiden over ashely because officers gotta help one another out over enlisted shitters.

The tempest really looks more like a space shuttle rather than a military ship.

I'm kinda disheartened we won't get the large military fleets from the previous game, and we're explorers. But we never really got to see those ships much anyway.

Provided is some fan art of a space shuttle, I'm thinking it's what if of the Soviet space program.

True dat.

I'm on my first playthrough, should I kill ash or kaiden?
What are their pros and cons in the later games?

idk i just remember ashley being a cunt the entire time in mass effect 2. This is my first time playing Mass Effect 1 and the combat is horrendous but the story is pretty good.

The only answer is saving Kaiden so you can husbando him in the third game. He's better than any of the women.

Are you a faggot? No? Kill Kaiden.

This so much this

Why would I save an enlisted over a fellow officer. If you have experience with the military, enlisted are supposed to sacrifice themselves for officers. And I plan on being with Miranda anyway.

>saving a redshirt over a biotic

>Is EA just sending this game out to die so they can kill off BioWare for good?
what stops them from killing it right away instead of creating a retarded premise to do it? this isn't some financial thriller book but reality.

>kaiden

the only reason you would want to space ashley is if you wanted to fugg her. But since Miranda exists there is no point.
