I genuinely think the armor looks fine lol. It's got this 'space ranger' aesthetic to it that I think looks cool. The buckle being sort of on his dick is funny but not some deal breaker.U think the crotch armor and bowling cut girl look good?
At least the mechs seem fine.

As for Elise (bowling cut girl), I think her hair's kind of goofy but the overall look isn't terrible. I mean we have Jack looking like this in ME and it was fine?
This guy supposed to have a pudgy ol belly?They recently put out another email extending sign ups for the Founder's Program, and also included a look at a new armor that players will get if they sign up, called the Traveler's Star Emblem. I'm starting to dig the aesthetic in general, it feels different than the more armor oriented designs from Mass Effect, though I'm sure there will likely be armor in this game too.
Texans love theirThe funny thing is, in the email they said the crotch badge was inspired by Matthew McConaughey.
I'm not crazy about that particular getup but overall what I saw in the reveal trailer looked okay. The gameplay snippets kinda reminded me of Andromeda visually.
What is going on with that hair lol. The things protruding from the top of the mech is also reminding me of D.Va. Not really much in the bio to go off of besides her being sad about Earth.

The Peter Hamilton one. Kinda cool he can just email him and be like "solve this problem."
Good question. Really neat to see how involved he is and hopefully bodes well for the lore and scientific accuracy of the game.The Peter Hamilton one. Kinda cool he can just email him and be like "solve this problem."
Yep, that's one they've answered before. Customizable protag.Just a to clarify, we play a custom protagonist right? Like Shepard.
Really pulling for this game. It sounds really ambitious and we need more space opera RPGs.
I hope they execute the time dilation idea well.
I'm glad she's the one with the mechsuit since I don't like the design at all lol.
It's not a live service. It's a single-player RPG, which I believe they've been touting since the studio was announced back in 2020.Honestly if this is executed well an Mass effect Andromeda done right with time as a resource literally affecting your travels it could be phenomenal. However, the concept seems like it will be wrapped in a loot grinding, collectathon live service elements which I hope given the pedigree of this team is so far removed from the truth.
Cause it looks fucking amazing, especially me over here dying with something to fill the Mass Effect void in my heart, and the next one apparently according to Duskgolem looking to target 2028?
Yup, and encouraging to see how highly Ohlen regards him as a storyteller. Especially given the first novel sounds like it's at least complete in draft form.The Peter Hamilton one. Kinda cool he can just email him and be like "solve this problem."
The Celestials aren't descended from Earth animals. They're descended from humans that traveled to Centauri and evolved into different alien races over 25,000-30,000+ years. They're collectively known as Celestials.Something I really like is the idea of Celestials being descended from awakened Earth animals.
Looking forward to the possibility of seeing species descended from octopi, or pigs (maybe even birds?)
… Especially given the first novel sounds like it's at least complete in draft form.
true!
long live bonded concreteHamilton's books are massive because the scope of the stories in them are sprawling, and he goes into length to make sure that the technology really fits with how humans adapted to it. This makes the books wordy, but it also makes everything in the book more human and relatable.
Anyway, big fan, will buy the book and the game no questions asked.
I wonder if that date aligns with their original target date for the game (probably intended for slightly before the game)? Otherwise I'm not sure why you sit on it, but maybe that's just because I don't know anything about the publishing world and they need X books in X quarter or whatever.

can't believe i forgot enzyme…
This doesn't necessarily mean anything, but a fun point of reference is that the first Mass Effect novel released in May 2007, while the game itself released in November 2007.the novel's up for preorder & it's a door stopper…

The graphic novels aren't too bad eitherIt's funny that even though I absolutely adore the Mass Effect universe with all my heart I never read the books. I did start one a long time ago but that's it.
I might read this one though, as it comes out before the game. I can't say I'm particular excited about the game but I did like the stuff I've been reading. And I'll look kindly to games developed by anyone who worked in Mass Effect.
I guess lol. They're probably similar to the beginner 'armor' Shepard starts out with in ME.

Could just be the artwork style? I don't know, but looking at the in-game footage, it looks normal to me? Definitely not 'mobile like'. Honestly if I had a completely blank slate and someone said this is ME5, I could believe it.I liked their initial conceptual video, but every single update after that I'm disliking the art direction more and more.
It looks "sterile"? Mobile-game like?
