Got a few survey screens to show the direction their marketing is going.

 

[Nirolak]

Splitting this out to its own thread.

Also here's the ZBrush model of the Pathfinder people may have missed:

[HK-47]

What if I dont give a shit about humanity but all the other aliens?

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Omg this could be super interesting politically

 

[SystemBug]

I wanted to make a game about European colonization once. but i dont think this game will take the approach I was thinking off lol

 

[Nirolak]

I think I will feel like a hero

Are they sure we're not supposed to feel like a villain?

 

[Shadow_Lord]

That would definitely be interesting. We always had the perspective of the invaded, so being the invader should be something fresh

 

[RecRoulette]

Be interesting to see the differences in this survey and the one put out before Andromeda was announced

Edit: Thread for reference.

 

[DeadlyParasite]

I'm on-board with whatever this turns out to be. I need more Mass Effect.

 

[- J - D -]

Then I hope there's an ending that allows me to let the indigenous race(s) win.

 

[Mediking]

JUST GIMME THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Squire]

What if I dont give a shit about humanity but all the other aliens?

They've stated more or less that, to them, ME is very much about playing a human and experiencing the universe from that perspective.

 

[UltraGunner]

Isn't every Frontier World Sci Fi story about colonialism?

 

[Tenebrous]

What if I dont give a shit about humanity but all the other aliens?

Guess you'll just have to deal with it. The humans will always win in the end (funnily enough, ME was my example).

 

[timetokill]

First I'm going to act nice and get the inevitable alien love interest to romance

Then post-coitus I'm going for the full alien genocide ending

 

[10k]

Makes us feel like the villain. The aliens are the aboriginals and we're playing as the white man.

But if the Ark contained only humans, does that human only human squad mates?

Either way I'm hyped as fuck and that armor is lit.

We've already seen a Krogan squadmate.

 

[Enduin]

Interesting. That armor model is kinda meh though. Some aspects are nice but overall weak.

 

[Ascenion]

Expected. Not really much else I was thinking was going to happen with all the project arkcon/Ark theories and whatnot. Not really much else that could happen unless Andromeda skipped the arrival to the new galaxy and placed us in a ME1 type situation again.

 

[MartyStu]

Since the trip is one way, they are more like refugees than colonists.

I think it would be a mistake to go that direction.

 

[STILLethal]

Give me everything ME2 and ME3/except the ending was + more + beautiful PS4/PC graphics = day 0

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I'll call this planet

America

 

[SunBroDave]

You'll get the green ending and you'll damn well like it.

 

[Hexa]

If we're going to be a colonial power, can we be Cerberus again? That was awesome.

 

[Mass Effect]

I feel like we already knew about the colonization aspect.

and ugh, humanity. nobody cares.

how about focus on the new, undiscovered races we'll find in the galaxy instead.

 

[Pat]

Armor is nice. So nice.

 

[STILLethal]

Strong username.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Day One.

 

[Tenebrous]

I take it back - This would be the greatest ending of all time.

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

Yeah the last leaked survey already stated that the player is colonzing in the Andromeda galaxy, making a new home. So it's not exactly news, unless more information pops up

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

I want to learn more about the Yahg and Vorcha in the next ME.

 

[10k]

We've already seen a Krogan squadmate.

Oh good. I can't remember if the ark was all of the citadel races on one ship or just humans. Simply because the game descriptions keep saying to fit for humanity instead of the galaxy.

 

[Mozz-eyes]

Oh man, I hope they give us a true renegade ending where you can enslave the natives and make them build a big statue of you or something.

 

[Wishmaster92]

I can't wait to see how the alien races look on the frostbite engine

 

[Data West]

Mass Effect from the human perspective has been getting dull to me.

Fuck them for that poll acting like they would do different playable races

 

[pizzacat]

You guys not picking humanity will be put on the list

 

[Ralemont]

New leak, but it looks like everything is old info.

I like their focus on "deep progression systems" though.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I take it back - This would be the greatest ending of all time.

As long as it's a Disney ending where my character can fall in love with a beautiful Disney Native Endor.

[UberLevi]

I think it's already been known for a while now that Mass Effect: Andromeda is going for a kind of manifest destiny, expansion to the west theme.

 

[Nameless]

Renegade points all over my body

 

[HanzSnubSnub]

The description sounds pretty cool. It's for the best that the player won't be a badass right away.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Will there be a gold rush?

"This one hears there's lots of resources down in Californee'"

 

[the_sun_king]

They've stated more or less that, to them, ME is very much about playing a human and experiencing the universe from that perspective.

This is a big part of why the ME franchise doesn't grab me as much as, say, Dragon Age. I don't like to be stuck playing a human in a universe with other more intriguing species/races/aliens.

 

[Skelter]

I'll call this planet

America

Damn. I want this.

 

[Sub_Level]

Assuming this is real, they better let players have an actual choice and be able to be pro-colonizers.

I dont give a shit about some spaceship-less alien civilizaton that hugs trees.

 

[GAFmeansLIFE]

Shut up and take my space credits.

 

[orochi91]

Renegade points all over my body

This is so overly savage, lmao

I don't recall that speech being in the film though.

 

[The Lone Courier]

The twist will be that your an indoctrinated reaper.

 

[Griss]

I think it's outstanding and fertile ground. You could play colonialism straight as humanity's hero (justified as 'we have no other choice'), or you could play it as 'humanity is the bad guy', with all the shades of grey in between. Either way, the focus will be on exploring alien planets and meeting new races, and all of that sounds like gravy to me.

 

[Lingitiz]

Sounds good but I hope it doesn't just end up with the majority of the content like DAI where you go to a planet and check a bunch of boxes on a wide open map.
