Hey everyone! I’m looking for feedback on my content, let me know what you enjoy/don’t enjoy about my videos. Do I have enough visuals, do I ramble too much, is my voice okay? Wanting to improve the channel this year and curious what improvements people would enjoy. (Please be kind haha) Thank you! Also I promise I read every comment, sometimes there’s just a lot and they can take me a while to look through. I'm not ignoring them pinky swear!
Your theories, speculations, and all of the collective ME information you present it with is so fantastic and you’re so good at it. The way you construct that kind of content has been a big inspiration of mine!
Your voice is great. U don't rabble. I really enjoy your perspective on Mass effect which is one of my all time favorite games/universe to explore and story. I think your doing fine. Keep up the great work and you'll go light years with your content. 👍🙏😁💯
I'm really happy that you read all comments, and care about us. For next ME, they must bring all old characters (whomever available) and new aliens companions (as you said we have enough cool human companions). And as I said before there is some strange fog in these posters and trailers (specially that poster with mask wearing turian) it can be a result of the crucible shot.
@@Thevalueyouneed Dude, go outside; Also, there was already a female Krogan in Mass Effect 3 and she ain't exactly shy. Nice to know you're a basement dweller who's forgotten what sunlight is.
I notice that you had a picture of Shiala to represent possible Asari companions. For me, Shiala would be the perfect Asari companion considering her story arc from her ties to Benezia to the Thorian and her fight to help the people of Zhu's Hope. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this to happen.

The scrapped idea of a Batarian hacker companion, is that referenced by Garrus? Garrus mentions that when he was on Omega helping out the citizens as Archangel, he had a little crew, and his tech expert was a Batarian. I'd also like to see pretty much every companion as romanceable. I also agree that Liara should only love Shepard, Shepard is her one and only.
I'm with you on seeing aliens that are not of the humanoid type. One of my oh-my-god moments was when an Elcor turned around to talk to Shepard, Mass Effect 3 Elcor Mounted Tanks.
I wouldnt mind Liara being romancable tbh. We know asari have learned to live with the fact that they will outlive most of their partners by a lot so choose to stay with the time spent with them instead so I think it would be cool to see a post 600 years Liara that still remembers Shepard but is open to new relationships, and it would make sense for players who didnt romance her in the trilogy
I really like the pacing of your commentary. The concise way you portray your in depth findings but also your own personal opinions and desires for the game. When I see a video of yours pop up in my front page, I know I'm going to be informed about something as well as made to think for myself on aspects of the subject matter. Thank you.
The vibe I get from N7 trench coat guy, is antagonist. Makes me think that instead of being an N7, our playable character will be fighting against them.
Same here. Liara has got to be my favorite character along with Garrus in a close second. But I don’t know if I could get used to having Liara in the game and not being able to romance her (assuming you’re not playing as Shepard)
What I would like to see in the next game is not only being able to pick our squad mates, but also pick our ship mates too. Having a volus as a shift quartermaster where you get access to black market stuff would be awesome. And just because I think it’s hilarious, a Elcor communications officer. Kinda like the loyalty, mission stuff they would give you access to certain things or certain worlds would be amazing.
Grunt and Samara were my favourite team mates so I hope I see them both again. To be honest, happy with any combination of the ME3 team. I enjoyed Andromeda so if they do throw in some of the characters from that side, wouldn't mind that either.
I'd also love to see a Raloi companion. Maybe there are only a few of them that are immune to that disease they carry and can travel off planet. They could be sent off world as diplomats and such, but your companion leaves that behind and is shunned by their own race or something. There's a lot of room with the lore we have to make them unique.
I’m all for the romance with a Geth. But…. Can we get a romance with a Krogan? That could be a significant way to deviate from the characters we’ve had with Wrex/Drack/Grunt. It might be too close to the thing with Char and the Blue Rose of Illium, maybe. But think about seeing a Krogan character who maybe is dealing with still being unable to have kids even after the cure due to some incurable infertility and because of that, they lean away from interacting heavily with other Krogan out of shame. Becoming more close with your main character, to the point of romance, could make for an interesting storyline.
I still think the Asari in the bar with the Geth is Peebee. Looks like she has be black markings across her eyes. And it would also make sense she'd be working with a Geth due to her love of alien tech.
I'd love to see Urdnot Shepard as the Krogan squad mate but the thought of an older Grunt is just too enticing. I want to see my lil Krogan buddy as a clan leader 🥺
In the teaser trailer, the character in the N7 armor is obviously an Asari. Which to me, says that we'll be playing as "Shepherd". Liara and Shepherd 100% had a kid. Just before the final fight to get to the Crucible in 3, Liara and Shepherd "Embrace Eternity" one last time. Which is how Asari have children with their chosen partner. To me, that is the only possible reason they showed an Asari in N7 armor. The only reason an Asari would be allowed to join N7, given that N7 armor is only for human special forces, would be if they were the child of Shepherd.
Thanks for the subtitles aswell, Kala. Since english is not my first language I do not rely 100% on my ears, so I love to listen+read since it helps me improve my english skills while enjoying your videos!! Yay!
Sweet video. I'm glad you also feel the characters should have their own 'romance/sexual' wants instead of being able to "we'll bang OK" anyone *we* (as the main character) look at... It'd be hard to not have all the previous characters available for teammates. Andromeda team mates banter felt a bit too 'forced' at points and moments when you'd expect them to comment they didn't appear to have any input at all...Nomad journeys. Loved the on ship chats though - talking to the crew for their individual perpectives on current situations was great and with that, if the interactions aren't scripted/done well, it won't matter who or how many buddies we have... Eg, they could've done so much with Jacob but they dropped the ball. Anyway... it'd be interesting to learn how they deal with the Crucible... or would an alternative timeline work best for us all?
if it really is a continuation of the trilogy ,i doubt that its a continuation of the synthesis or control ending.Its probably the continuation of the destroy ending since not only is it the most popular ending among players but also makes the most sense if we are ever gonna get shepard as the protagonist again.If this is really the case then the synthetic creatures we see in the concpet art(geth,etc) would all just be robots with no intelligence since the destroy ending kills all of them,which means we wont get to romance any synthetic life in the next installment.
I completely disagree with the destroy ending because that means the catalyst was right and at some point organics will try to destroy synthetics again which is why the catalyst was created in the first place. The control ending is actually the best ending due to the fact that it allows synthetics to live while also proving that organics and synthetics can live together without trying to destroy each other. Tali points out that with the help of Geth the Quarians who are still alive can be readjusted to their home world environment in a matter of a few years so they won't need to where their masks any longer. So having Geth alive rather than destroyed is the better ending overall
I'm personally for sense of logic. No magic cryoshit which somehow save Shepard/whoever with not such a lifespan for 600 years. Liara - OK, Grunt/other Krogan - OK (not Wrex since he's already too old even for Krogan) Any AI person - OK, since AI's actually immortal. But i repeat again. NO MAGIC CRYOSHIT PLEASE!!!!
As i see it, the andromeda settlers could have built a sort of supergate - with the help of Meridian - looking to reconnect and possibly seek help from the milky way - against the scourge, the Kett or even the ones that klilled the builders. That being said, with my theory it is possible to have Ryder in your team, even to travel between the cluster and the milky way (don't forget we never really "stepped foot" into the andromeda galaxy, they stopped short of that). And i think Grunt is wearing Wrex's armor since Krogans tend to have some connection to symbols of their strength -armors, weapons, the like and Grunt is Wrex likely successor.
Absolutely adore your videos! Since you've asked for feedback, I'll shoot - The graphics you've made for this are stellar! They are clean, easy to read and useful! You're fairly concise and honestly I wouldn't have a problem with a lil bit of rambling. Your voice is great for this type of content - clear and steady. I generally really love your theories though, they're very reasonable and you always acknowledge if your ideas are more far fetched or don't have as much ground to stand on - which is great! Overall, the thing that has me coming back is just the passion for this amazing game series :D Also a total side, but I really wish we got that Batarian squadmate - it's so interesting! Fingers crossed for 5 having one! Regarding romance/sexuality and such in the new game, I really hope they take design hints from Baldur's Gate 3 with polyamory and the complex, full relationships you can have. Also I hope there's some kind of explicitly non-binary character - We were robbed with how they did Jack dirty Congrats on the interview with Mark Meer btw!! That's huge!
I absolutely agree, I think aliens especially offer a way to explore genders and it would be really interesting to see them actually do that. Fingers crossed!
Im really liking the content. You make some interesting points and fun theories taking the most advantage of the very little info we have. I just finished my summer replay of the trilogy so its really nice to have such good content about the future of the series
Hey, has anyone considered that for part of the game? There may be a section where you have people partially living in a VR world like in the book ready player won the TV show peripheral if you go back as far as when they remade Battlestar Galactica to show you how we got to the point of the synthetic robots taking over pre-Civil War, when they were being originally developed, and people would live in VR worlds and work in VR worlds. so what if our main character went into a VR world and the cloak was part of their endgame disguise, or the persona that they carried on, but disguised their face, so that anybody that’s looking at them, would only see a random law-enforcement character, instead of commander, captain major, whatever, whoever our main character is so that that way they could keep some semblance of secrecy
i think it would be cool to discover somewhere in the milkyway or one of its satellite galaxies where a colony of protheans that escaped on a sleeper ship that escaped during the reaper war or even more interestingly before as a lost colony expedition. now regressed to a preindustrial state and may have genetically diverged given 50 thousand plus years. the asari and humanity could go full circle and help uplift them or not. another thing is i am surprised there not more species that have more diverse offshoots. like shiala could be the progenitor of a green asari subspecies with unique abilities and are there more mutations like the ardat yakshi. give me an albino asari with unique abilities. Was Saren a turian offshoot with his unique pronged horns? so much can be done the species we already have.
I really think the krogan we see in the first shot is wrex not only because of his armor it looks like that krogan has wrex's red crest that is on the top of his head. I think we will be able to get pathfinder armor for out mc and that is what we are seeing not Ryder but out new mc in pathfinder armor or maybe it is winter armor.
I do hope we will have a few companions that are descendants of the former companions. Such as Wrex, Tali, Or Garrus. Also, in that party overhead image, we could have it where you have 2 Andormeda and 2 Milky way out on the field.
I LOVED the game. It had so many bugs, but it had so much possibility! Plus, at the time, I'd never felt more like a superhuman in any game I'd ever played! Lol
I'm a bit puzzled about where Javik is. He's such an important character with unbelievable abilities (reading minds and communicating memories through touch, etc.). Liara wouldn't let go of such an important asset as him. And then I heard about those early concepts of Legion and saw that knight-like Geth next to her, and I'm like: Are they going to do the funniest thing ever and turn Javik into a synthetic? I know this organic mind to synthetic conversion could sound far-fetched, but I read those Cerberus news about the Huerta case and VI preserving brain functions, so... who knows what space-magic is awaiting for us.
Would love a wise cracking geth prime companion that sounds like a partially stereotypical over the top lady of new orleans due to being part of the contingent that went to new orleans during the post unification of rannoch in the reaper war and for whatever reason is partial to it or still wise cracking female vocalized regional quarian accent.
We have to understand the Bioware way with main characters. Bioware and Lucasfilm share a common way of doing things. There is an emphasis on family importance and famous family lineage. This means one of two things. 1. There is a possibility that Commander Shepard, in a big or small way, will return. 2. There will be a new generation Shepard. This follows the same idea as Star Wars The Old Republic (Revan survived 300 years later and had a family lineage of Satele Shan and others).
I'm hoping we get at least one romancable Krogan with at least as much content as Miranda/Jack. The cowards at BioWare severely underestimated how much the fandom wants it to happen. And to think, they had the audacity to twist our balls with that Wrex body pillow, but never deliver on an actual romance
An idea I came up with is bringing back EDI but in a human body Because if they’re going with Destroy being canon then I think it could be a good way to bring her back without it cheapening the consequences. I feel like the way to do it is that although her consciousness would be destroyed her memories and personality could still be in her systems and the alliance could make her a human body using the same technology that Henry Lawson used to create Miranda. This is just an idea I came up with but I think it could work regardless of how far into the future the game is set in
@@kalaelizabeth I think a replay of Andromeda is in order so I can refresh my knowledge on the Andromeda side of Mass Effect since I have memorised most of the Milky Way stuff
I can explain the legs. Digitigrade stilts are used in costuming to create non human leg shapes, and sometimes motion capture artists wear them to get the right leg shape for the characters that they're playing. They don't all look the same though. have a variety of makes and models, and the actors themselves can assume different postures while wearing them so they can assume a pretty wide range of body types. Some people hunch over a lot to make more monstrous characters, while others keep their stilts short and walk straight so their posture looks more human. I think the later would be ideal for turians and quarians. (Though quarian leg shapes aren't really achievable for human actors because they have a second joint directly below the knee so quarians might just have to make do the way that previous mass effect games did.)
Once again, brilliant observations very well presented thoughtfully and concisely. I thoroughly enjoy your consistently excellent content, so I plan to become a supporting member beginning next month. Please keep up the excellent work, young lady.👍👍👍👍👍
I could easily see them taking a page out of the Allan Wake and Last Of Us sequels, and giving you dual protagonists. There's elements of both Andromeda and OG in the teaser materials. Running a dual story slipping between (a survived/resurrected,) Shepard and Ryder could be exciting, satisfy a great deal of unresolved questions from both galaxies, and up the stakes over "the galaxy was nearly destroyed" from the OG trilogy.
I feel like I'm the only one who wants a vorcha companion. We know from ME3 that their was some in the alliance who are amazing fighters but also less like the the stereotypical vorcha.
Great work! I always wanted to be able to play as other races like Drell or Asari without having to play multiplayer. That being said, I'd like to be able to play as Mass Effect's Alien races in the next game.
Oh gods why did you do that lol. Considered how Liara is, I would most likely assume Javik would treat her like some kid. + I can't get over her trying to attack him for speaking the truth about Thessia. Javik had every right to be angry at asari withholding vital informations of his people from entire cycle.
@@cracmar03 why not? Lol seriously though, I felt like if you were paragon, Javik sort of softened up. He agreed to help her write the book about Protheans I think. Hard to think that if you allowed him to watch the shard, that he will commit suicide after the final mission :(
i cant wait for this game and how they involve the geth. i loved legion and remembering the first poster and that they always been a core part of the plot, i wana see how they fit in this new game
Honestly i would like to see how the geth are relating to other species, especially the council races (because of the battle of the citadel) and how arkward their relationships could be (especially with humans on the traverse and eden prime) and if they make a geth romance I genuinely wonder how it begins and how it becomes more "natural" at the end (cause i mean the geth may have free will now but how organics think and feels could be an interesting challenge for them to overcome, damn i want to see now a geth clerk having to deal with an npc that doesn't want to understand that it can't get a refund)
A race I've always thought would be a fun companion is an elcor. Sure, they have the dry delivery of their speech, but I think they have a lot of potential for the role
This all makes sense if we just accept the prologue will be set post ME:3, with Liara, wrex and the Geth we hear Liara talking in the dated audio log searching for Shepard, which we are shown in the Geth poster and in the teaser trailer. (Here we have the mudskipper in both scenes) And then later, for the main game we have a time jump to the 2800’s, and Liara and the same Geth getting the andromeda distress signal, who we see liara with in the N7 poster. That’s where the rest of the game will be set.
The raloi must be extremely intelligent or very adaptive of new situations, they destroyed their satellites and space tech and pretended to be a pre-spaceflight species. Why? how did they know that the reapers came to harvest advanced civilizations? Only shepard knew the truth, everyone else saw the reapers as an enemy that destroyed all organic life.
They came to the Citadel space right before the attack happened. And they weren't actually that intelligent as they had only recently become a space faring race.
I think much faster travel between Galaxies will be established for ME5, i think it will take place in both the Milky way and Andromeda but focusing primarily on the Milky Way
I agree about the Shep + Liara exclusivity thing if Shepard doesn’t return. That final “Gift” in ME3 was everything!😢❤ My head cannon was that Liara got herself pregnant consensually😂
I just had a thought of something that might be one of those parts of the story that you hear in the background speakers I’d like to Sadel or something as one of the announcements like in massive Andromeda. Would you would hear that water Porter in the background giving stories about, the worker who has lost in space and they’re waiting until they can contact the Milky Way Galaxy to let them the family know before they give any details to the public but I could see the government having announced that everybody needs to participate in essentially required population rebuilding after so many populations were decimated so I could see Lara maybe arguing with this under her throat, as she walks through a city that she refuses to donate her body or her material in such a barbaric and I’m romantic way when the only person she would’ve wanted to be with is Shepherd. Or maybe something along the lines, if you are trying to find Shepherd that she wants to hurry up and track him down before somebody in government makes her “donates” to the cause of creating more sorry
Has anybody said that the woman with this mysterious Garrus figure is Helena Blake yet? It definitely resembles her iconic bun hairstyle. I know that means sparing her life is canon, but that's who I think it could be.
@kalaelizabeth I don't think it should be ruled out completely, though. I feel like Bioware intentionally turned her back to us to show off that hairstyle as a hint. If this game takes place shortly after ME3, then I could still see her in Omega either as an underboss to Aria or a social worker (depending which route the player took) as she wouldn't be too much older. Let's just say it's an anomoly. 🤓 😂
Seriously only would want Garrus and Javik back on my team. All rest I would be up to BioWare making decisions. But these two I would definately want back to have some end. ME 3 robbed me of ending and closure. That being said if protagonist ain't Shepard this game won't interest me. I need ending. Not spin-off. An ending.
I know this comment is late, but I would really love a Drell companion, that DOES NOT DIE! I love all the Drell they have put in the trilogy, but it was very few. Thane really only had ME2, (without the mod). They are my personal favorite race, it's a shame we don't see them very much at all. Great video, I love your ME content 🙂
after watching so many of videos about mass effect this confirm me that your a freaking bad ass fan like me of this game.... thou if only i have my guts to make a videos like all of you around the net il be like in your level making this videos but im too busy at my work. no worries i will sub to your chan mate.
The middle right of the first image could also be a Quarian, their suits would look similar to that from above. At least if destroy is the canon ending to ME3 since they would still need envirosuits without the Geth upgrades that they get if you do the Quarian-Geth peace route.....but that is thrown into doubt with Geth clearly being shown in some of the ME5 concept art, implying destroy is not the canon ending. Unless they do some sort of plotline where the Quarian-Geth peace was also canon, and the Geth that were inhabiting Quarian envirosuits somehow survived. Or the megastructure that Legion talks about could have possibly been constructed and inhabited, and was far enough away from the nearest relay to have been spared. in the time between ME3-ME5 it could either have been discovered by explorers (possibly hunting for dormant Reapers?) or the Geth inhabiting it made contact on their own shortly after the end of the Reaper war upon discovering that Quarians had made peace with the Geth that existed in the milky way. Or it could be that the starchild lied about all synthetics being destroyed. Or maybe that whole mess was just retconned for ME5.....I guess we'll all just have to wait and see.

It'd be hard to not have all the previous characters available for teammates. Andromeda team mates banter felt a bit too 'forced' at points and moments when you'd expect them to comment they didn't appear to have any input at all...Nomad journeys.
Loved the on ship chats though - talking to the crew for their individual perpectives on current situations was great and with that, if the interactions aren't scripted/done well, it won't matter who or how many buddies we have... Eg, they could've done so much with Jacob but they dropped the ball.
Anyway... it'd be interesting to learn how they deal with the Crucible... or would an alternative timeline work best for us all?
if it really is a continuation of the trilogy ,i doubt that its a continuation of the synthesis or control ending.Its probably the continuation of the destroy ending since not only is it the most popular ending among players but also makes the most sense if we are ever gonna get shepard as the protagonist again.If this is really the case then the synthetic creatures we see in the concpet art(geth,etc) would all just be robots with no intelligence since the destroy ending kills all of them,which means we wont get to romance any synthetic life in the next installment.
I completely disagree with the destroy ending because that means the catalyst was right and at some point organics will try to destroy synthetics again which is why the catalyst was created in the first place. The control ending is actually the best ending due to the fact that it allows synthetics to live while also proving that organics and synthetics can live together without trying to destroy each other. Tali points out that with the help of Geth the Quarians who are still alive can be readjusted to their home world environment in a matter of a few years so they won't need to where their masks any longer. So having Geth alive rather than destroyed is the better ending overall
I kinda want a Hanar ally, I was hoping Blasto was going to be playable in the Remake just as a joke.
I completely agree with you on the Liara romance. I would be really weird to romance her with someone other than Shepard.
Let me have a Volus! There are ways that combat can be done with them! It would be great!
I'm personally for sense of logic. No magic cryoshit which somehow save Shepard/whoever with not such a lifespan for 600 years. Liara - OK, Grunt/other Krogan - OK (not Wrex since he's already too old even for Krogan) Any AI person - OK, since AI's actually immortal.
But i repeat again. NO MAGIC CRYOSHIT PLEASE!!!!
IF they're gonna do cryostasis, keep it to a minimum; Like one or two old characters maximum.
As i see it, the andromeda settlers could have built a sort of supergate - with the help of Meridian - looking to reconnect and possibly seek help from the milky way - against the scourge, the Kett or even the ones that klilled the builders. That being said, with my theory it is possible to have Ryder in your team, even to travel between the cluster and the milky way (don't forget we never really "stepped foot" into the andromeda galaxy, they stopped short of that). And i think Grunt is wearing Wrex's armor since Krogans tend to have some connection to symbols of their strength -armors, weapons, the like and Grunt is Wrex likely successor.
Absolutely adore your videos! Since you've asked for feedback, I'll shoot - The graphics you've made for this are stellar! They are clean, easy to read and useful! You're fairly concise and honestly I wouldn't have a problem with a lil bit of rambling. Your voice is great for this type of content - clear and steady. I generally really love your theories though, they're very reasonable and you always acknowledge if your ideas are more far fetched or don't have as much ground to stand on - which is great! Overall, the thing that has me coming back is just the passion for this amazing game series :D
Also a total side, but I really wish we got that Batarian squadmate - it's so interesting! Fingers crossed for 5 having one! Regarding romance/sexuality and such in the new game, I really hope they take design hints from Baldur's Gate 3 with polyamory and the complex, full relationships you can have. Also I hope there's some kind of explicitly non-binary character - We were robbed with how they did Jack dirty
Congrats on the interview with Mark Meer btw!! That's huge!
I absolutely agree, I think aliens especially offer a way to explore genders and it would be really interesting to see them actually do that. Fingers crossed!
Im really liking the content. You make some interesting points and fun theories taking the most advantage of the very little info we have. I just finished my summer replay of the trilogy so its really nice to have such good content about the future of the series
Thank you! Happy to keep making all the content haha
Hey, has anyone considered that for part of the game? There may be a section where you have people partially living in a VR world like in the book ready player won the TV show peripheral if you go back as far as when they remade Battlestar Galactica to show you how we got to the point of the synthetic robots taking over pre-Civil War, when they were being originally developed, and people would live in VR worlds and work in VR worlds. so what if our main character went into a VR world and the cloak was part of their endgame disguise, or the persona that they carried on, but disguised their face, so that anybody that’s looking at them, would only see a random law-enforcement character, instead of commander, captain major, whatever, whoever our main character is so that that way they could keep some semblance of secrecy
you forgot about Edi. If destroy ending don't bust all the teach
I wonder if Liara gave our buddy Glyph a geth style upgrade
i think it would be cool to discover somewhere in the milkyway or one of its satellite galaxies where a colony of protheans that escaped on a sleeper ship that escaped during the reaper war or even more interestingly before as a lost colony expedition. now regressed to a preindustrial state and may have genetically diverged given 50 thousand plus years. the asari and humanity could go full circle and help uplift them or not. another thing is i am surprised there not more species that have more diverse offshoots. like shiala could be the progenitor of a green asari subspecies with unique abilities and are there more mutations like the ardat yakshi. give me an albino asari with unique abilities. Was Saren a turian offshoot with his unique pronged horns? so much can be done the species we already have.
Totally agree and I hope they explore this in ME5 with not all aliens looking the same as the same race
I really think the krogan we see in the first shot is wrex not only because of his armor it looks like that krogan has wrex's red crest that is on the top of his head. I think we will be able to get pathfinder armor for out mc and that is what we are seeing not Ryder but out new mc in pathfinder armor or maybe it is winter armor.
I do hope we will have a few companions that are descendants of the former companions. Such as Wrex, Tali, Or Garrus.
Also, in that party overhead image, we could have it where you have 2 Andormeda and 2 Milky way out on the field.
liara is gathering information or meeting in a public place for potential danger, underground and secret operations vibes
Hey does anyone know where you can find the full spreadsheet of those ME2 character concepts and writing shown 17:52
no =/ I looked for the complete list but I could only find screenshots from the original interview video, if you find it definitely let me know!
@kalaelizabeth its no fair he shows us only to take it away 😭
Where did you find the screenshots at?
From an old IGN interview video
Yes a Batarian romanceable companion. There I said it lol 🎉
I do hope we will get more Andromeda. I really liked the game!
I LOVED the game. It had so many bugs, but it had so much possibility! Plus, at the time, I'd never felt more like a superhuman in any game I'd ever played! Lol
I'm a bit puzzled about where Javik is. He's such an important character with unbelievable abilities (reading minds and communicating memories through touch, etc.). Liara wouldn't let go of such an important asset as him. And then I heard about those early concepts of Legion and saw that knight-like Geth next to her, and I'm like:
Are they going to do the funniest thing ever and turn Javik into a synthetic?
I know this organic mind to synthetic conversion could sound far-fetched, but I read those Cerberus news about the Huerta case and VI preserving brain functions, so... who knows what space-magic is awaiting for us.
I really wanna see Javik again
Would love a wise cracking geth prime companion that sounds like a partially stereotypical over the top lady of new orleans due to being part of the contingent that went to new orleans during the post unification of rannoch in the reaper war and for whatever reason is partial to it or still wise cracking female vocalized regional quarian accent.
We have to understand the Bioware way with main characters. Bioware and Lucasfilm share a common way of doing things. There is an emphasis on family importance and famous family lineage. This means one of two things. 1. There is a possibility that Commander Shepard, in a big or small way, will return. 2. There will be a new generation Shepard. This follows the same idea as Star Wars The Old Republic (Revan survived 300 years later and had a family lineage of Satele Shan and others).
it would be dope if you could import me legendary edition AND Andromedas save file so the game can shape the game based on what you did in the games
That would be insane.
Wrex is quite old in the first three games. He shouldn’t be able to live another 600 years or so.
The chicken needs to be 100% named " The colonel "
Great. Space KFC.
I'm hoping we get at least one romancable Krogan with at least as much content as Miranda/Jack. The cowards at BioWare severely underestimated how much the fandom wants it to happen. And to think, they had the audacity to twist our balls with that Wrex body pillow, but never deliver on an actual romance
An idea I came up with is bringing back EDI but in a human body
Because if they’re going with Destroy being canon then I think it could be a good way to bring her back without it cheapening the consequences. I feel like the way to do it is that although her consciousness would be destroyed her memories and personality could still be in her systems and the alliance could make her a human body using the same technology that Henry Lawson used to create Miranda.
This is just an idea I came up with but I think it could work regardless of how far into the future the game is set in
Would be interesting to see if this is possible at all if we learn how the jardaan made this possible tbh
@@kalaelizabeth I think a replay of Andromeda is in order so I can refresh my knowledge on the Andromeda side of Mass Effect since I have memorised most of the Milky Way stuff
i dont think turian legs are much of a concern for me, reverse joints in armored core are awesome
I can explain the legs. Digitigrade stilts are used in costuming to create non human leg shapes, and sometimes motion capture artists wear them to get the right leg shape for the characters that they're playing.
They don't all look the same though. have a variety of makes and models, and the actors themselves can assume different postures while wearing them so they can assume a pretty wide range of body types. Some people hunch over a lot to make more monstrous characters, while others keep their stilts short and walk straight so their posture looks more human. I think the later would be ideal for turians and quarians. (Though quarian leg shapes aren't really achievable for human actors because they have a second joint directly below the knee so quarians might just have to make do the way that previous mass effect games did.)
Once again, brilliant observations very well presented thoughtfully and concisely. I thoroughly enjoy your consistently excellent content, so I plan to become a supporting member beginning next month. Please keep up the excellent work, young lady.👍👍👍👍👍
Why do they all need to be someone we’ve seen before? It’s more likely they are all new characters. Especially if there’s a time jump.
I could easily see them taking a page out of the Allan Wake and Last Of Us sequels, and giving you dual protagonists. There's elements of both Andromeda and OG in the teaser materials. Running a dual story slipping between (a survived/resurrected,) Shepard and Ryder could be exciting, satisfy a great deal of unresolved questions from both galaxies, and up the stakes over "the galaxy was nearly destroyed" from the OG trilogy.
I think the mysterious N7 lady is an antagonist NPC character.
definitely could be especially since they're not pictured in any other media yet!
I feel like I'm the only one who wants a vorcha companion. We know from ME3 that their was some in the alliance who are amazing fighters but also less like the the stereotypical vorcha.
A Volus companion biotic god would be the best, but for real I remember Volus on the online mode of ME3 and it was so fun to see them in action
Great work! I always wanted to be able to play as other races like Drell or Asari without having to play multiplayer. That being said, I'd like to be able to play as Mass Effect's Alien races in the next game.
I'm easy when it comes to companions, BioWare. Surprise me. I just want a good game!
I did ship Liara and Javik in a fic 😅
Oh gods why did you do that lol. Considered how Liara is, I would most likely assume Javik would treat her like some kid. + I can't get over her trying to attack him for speaking the truth about Thessia. Javik had every right to be angry at asari withholding vital informations of his people from entire cycle.
@@cracmar03 why not? Lol seriously though, I felt like if you were paragon, Javik sort of softened up. He agreed to help her write the book about Protheans I think. Hard to think that if you allowed him to watch the shard, that he will commit suicide after the final mission :(
This is a fairly popular ship I've seen a lot of art of it. I approve !
I'd like to see more of javic
i cant wait for this game and how they involve the geth. i loved legion and remembering the first poster and that they always been a core part of the plot, i wana see how they fit in this new game
Honestly i would like to see how the geth are relating to other species, especially the council races (because of the battle of the citadel) and how arkward their relationships could be (especially with humans on the traverse and eden prime) and if they make a geth romance I genuinely wonder how it begins and how it becomes more "natural" at the end (cause i mean the geth may have free will now but how organics think and feels could be an interesting challenge for them to overcome, damn i want to see now a geth clerk having to deal with an npc that doesn't want to understand that it can't get a refund)
Absolutely yes to all this
A race I've always thought would be a fun companion is an elcor. Sure, they have the dry delivery of their speech, but I think they have a lot of potential for the role
I want a hanar & geth companion
This all makes sense if we just accept the prologue will be set post ME:3, with Liara, wrex and the Geth we hear Liara talking in the dated audio log searching for Shepard, which we are shown in the Geth poster and in the teaser trailer. (Here we have the mudskipper in both scenes) And then later, for the main game we have a time jump to the 2800’s, and Liara and the same Geth getting the andromeda distress signal, who we see liara with in the N7 poster. That’s where the rest of the game will be set.
One thing I wish would happen but I doubt will ever happen is,
Being able to play as a different race then human.
Loved that in MP ME2
The raloi must be extremely intelligent or very adaptive of new situations, they destroyed their satellites and space tech and pretended to be a pre-spaceflight species. Why? how did they know that the reapers came to harvest advanced civilizations? Only shepard knew the truth, everyone else saw the reapers as an enemy that destroyed all organic life.
They came to the Citadel space right before the attack happened. And they weren't actually that intelligent as they had only recently become a space faring race.
I think much faster travel between Galaxies will be established for ME5, i think it will take place in both the Milky way and Andromeda but focusing primarily on the Milky Way
I wish garrus to be back in mass effect 5. He is so cool
I agree about the Shep + Liara exclusivity thing if Shepard doesn’t return. That final “Gift” in ME3 was everything!😢❤ My head cannon was that Liara got herself pregnant consensually😂
I just had a thought of something that might be one of those parts of the story that you hear in the background speakers I’d like to Sadel or something as one of the announcements like in massive Andromeda. Would you would hear that water Porter in the background giving stories about, the worker who has lost in space and they’re waiting until they can contact the Milky Way Galaxy to let them the family know before they give any details to the public but I could see the government having announced that everybody needs to participate in essentially required population rebuilding after so many populations were decimated so I could see Lara maybe arguing with this under her throat, as she walks through a city that she refuses to donate her body or her material in such a barbaric and I’m romantic way when the only person she would’ve wanted to be with is Shepherd. Or maybe something along the lines, if you are trying to find Shepherd that she wants to hurry up and track him down before somebody in government makes her “donates” to the cause of creating more sorry
Has anybody said that the woman with this mysterious Garrus figure is Helena Blake yet? It definitely resembles her iconic bun hairstyle. I know that means sparing her life is canon, but that's who I think it could be.
Helena Blake was a lot older by mass effect 3 so I don't think it's her
@kalaelizabeth I don't think it should be ruled out completely, though. I feel like Bioware intentionally turned her back to us to show off that hairstyle as a hint. If this game takes place shortly after ME3, then I could still see her in Omega either as an underboss to Aria or a social worker (depending which route the player took) as she wouldn't be too much older. Let's just say it's an anomoly. 🤓 😂
Quatrain and Turian had a baby. Maybe that’s why the one looked like that
Seriously only would want Garrus and Javik back on my team. All rest I would be up to BioWare making decisions. But these two I would definately want back to have some end. ME 3 robbed me of ending and closure. That being said if protagonist ain't Shepard this game won't interest me. I need ending. Not spin-off. An ending.
The krogan could be kesh's child as well as the first protagonist that isn't a human but another species just a thought/ hope
I think most likely that isnt Ryder in the poster because he wore his dads helmet which was black and the person in the poster is wearing white
Yes, please be there Vetra 🙏
I just want a new Brothers in Arms and Mass Effect. That DON’T FLOP 😭
I know this comment is late, but I would really love a Drell companion, that DOES NOT DIE! I love all the Drell they have put in the trilogy, but it was very few. Thane really only had ME2, (without the mod). They are my personal favorite race, it's a shame we don't see them very much at all. Great video, I love your ME content 🙂
In which year the game will release?
after watching so many of videos about mass effect this confirm me that your a freaking bad ass fan like me of this game.... thou if only i have my guts to make a videos like all of you around the net il be like in your level making this videos but im too busy at my work. no worries i will sub to your chan mate.
The middle right of the first image could also be a Quarian, their suits would look similar to that from above. At least if destroy is the canon ending to ME3 since they would still need envirosuits without the Geth upgrades that they get if you do the Quarian-Geth peace route.....but that is thrown into doubt with Geth clearly being shown in some of the ME5 concept art, implying destroy is not the canon ending. Unless they do some sort of plotline where the Quarian-Geth peace was also canon, and the Geth that were inhabiting Quarian envirosuits somehow survived. Or the megastructure that Legion talks about could have possibly been constructed and inhabited, and was far enough away from the nearest relay to have been spared. in the time between ME3-ME5 it could either have been discovered by explorers (possibly hunting for dormant Reapers?) or the Geth inhabiting it made contact on their own shortly after the end of the Reaper war upon discovering that Quarians had made peace with the Geth that existed in the milky way. Or it could be that the starchild lied about all synthetics being destroyed. Or maybe that whole mess was just retconned for ME5.....I guess we'll all just have to wait and see.
I would like to see AI like EDI and geth have more interactions. maybe discussing ways to improve code or something
