Eivion Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Keep in mind the character in the trailer isn't the actual protagonist so there is a chance you aren't N7.
The Man Known as Dan Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 You are human though which I find to be a bummer. You are taking the game in a new direction man, do the Dragon Age thing and let me play as whatever.
Eivion Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Won't happen. ME isn't quite as loose narrative wise as DA is. It would also be extra time & work they probably don't have a budget for.
Big Fresh Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 There's a way to make El Dragon happy (or at least me) and keep the story-telling of Mass Effect intact: allow me to switch who I'm controlling between the 3 squadmates (also wish it was 4 squadmates this time, but oh well).
Eivion Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 I'm in complete support of that. I found it odd you couldn't change who you control.
J.T. Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Keep in mind the character in the trailer isn't the actual protagonist so there is a chance you aren't N7.  The N7 designation is one of the iconic cornerstones of the franchise. We will probably end up piloting an SA spec-ops soldier.  The Turian on my team had better have Armiger Legion armor.

Mass Effect Tabletop RPG. GIVE IT TO ME!
Big Fresh Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Well, I think the idea is they really want you to BE Shepard and develop the squad mates as friends instead of controlling them. But it's a new series now, let's shake it up a bit.
Big Fresh Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Shittttttttt...... I'm getting the urge to play ME3 multiplayer again..... MUST RESIST!
The Man Known as Dan Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 .... yeah, I kinda want to get down into that again. 1
TheVileOne Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Once again, hope the developers study Witcher 3.
The Man Known as Dan Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I never did unlock the Talon Mercenary.... Â They are fucking ton of fun. Just got to play them right.
J.T. Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Shittttttttt...... I'm getting the urge to play ME3 multiplayer again..... MUST RESIST!  Give it a week. The urge will go away.  Besides, I already know how this will go. You will convince Rippa and me to play again - You will quit after two weeks - Rippa and I will continue to play for eight months.
J.T. Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz  You are family, bro. I wouldn't pick on you if you weren't or if It wasn't the truth.  I remember when you were all in for ME3 co-op and Destiny. You got Rippa and me to go all in with you. The students became the masters both times.
Big Fresh Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I was all in on ME3 co-op for a long, long time. I played that game more hours in multiplayer than any other game in my life except maybe Halo 2. Maybe I didn't play it as long as you two, but you can't say I didn't play it A LOT. Destiny let me down. I wish I liked it enough to play it a bunch, but I was bored shitless.
Big Fresh Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Remember, it was playing ME3 that got me approved to join this board in the first place.
J.T. Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Remember, it was playing ME3 that got me approved to join this board in the first place.  Those were good times.  I have no wish to relive them because my OCD will hate my GR% being below 80%.  We will not talk about the horror I will feel for slipping out of the Global Top 200 in points and N7 rating.  This will happen all over again once ME4 comes out. Rippa and I will play it constantly for like five years straight.

I wish I liked it enough to play it a bunch, but I was bored shitless.  Rippa and I are idiots with OCD. I am not sure whose is worse because we kvetch over different things. Rippa is all about completing bounties at any cost while I am OH SHIT, NEW GRIMOIRE CARD~!  You should've gotten Destiny for 360. Chat can get pretty interesting when Rippa, Mis, or I am having a rough night in the Crucible.
misanthrope304 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I use a plethora of four letter words just for the fuck of it anyway.Â

Maybe me, you, RIPPA, and a fourth can play through the campaign?
The Man Known as Dan Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 So yeah, back in on Mass Effect Multiplayer. Just bronzing it up to get my feel back.
AxB Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 If Andromeda is set 100+ years after Mass Effect 3, Liara and Grunt (and Samara and Wrex or Wreav) could potentially still be alive, right? Long-lived species? Not that it would neccesarily make any sense for them to have moved to another galaxy or anything.
