I'm always amazed at what people think the devs will spill on twitter.

[ElitePinecone]

@user: @The1Wynn @masseffect any familiar faces in Andromeda?

Chris Wynn@The1Wynn: @user story wise, it wouldn't make much sense.

 

Does Chris realise that this tweet will create twelve months of hysterical outrage??

 

(I'm excited for a completely new slate of characters though, ME3 did feel like Shepard was improbably bumping into the same two or three dozen people)

Well, that is depressing.

I'm rather happy about a fresh start.

 

I know people love them, as do I, but I definitely have Mass Effect character fatigue. There's only so long you can tap a story well before it gets stale. The less story overlap (including characters) between this new game and the past MEs, the better for the quality and longevity of the series, in my personal opinion.

 

EDIT to add: Of course, consistency is important, style and tone, etc. I still want that unique Mass Effect feeling. But I think consistency is more important than continuity.

I wasn't expecting major characters to return, but I was hoping for some minor characters to show up again as a way to connect the two stories.

I disagree. The less the stories are connected, the more it harms this franchise as a whole.

@LadySif7: Hi @The1Wynn Will we have an emotion wheel for some dialogue choices in MEA, like we did in DAI? Sorry if this has been asked.

 

Chris Wynn ‏@The1Wynn 

@LadySif7 hasn't been asked but can't answer that one yet. Sorry!

 

Rachel73 ‏@LadySif7 

@The1Wynn I understand. Thank you for the response! I'm really looking forward to MEA!

@The1Wynn I am curious, does the trip to Andromeda begin before, during, or after the Reaper War?

I dunno why I'm so giddy about the prospect of new information, either.  It's a brand new game.  It's not likely they will be dumping tons of info on our heads about story elements.   I'd love to be proven wrong on this, but I don't think it's gonna happen.

What I like to see is a developer's diary about the game, as it comes along.

[AresKeith]

I disagree. The less the stories are connected, the more it harms this franchise as a whole. 

 

Why would it harm this franchise only?

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Why would it harm this franchise only?

Because we are discussing the Mass Effect franchise, thus the use of a singular term.

Brianne Battye@bbattye: More idea-sharing with the writers. Nothing is lit on fire. Good sign in this case

Jay Watamaniuk@JayWatamaniuk: @bbattye It needed more cowbell.

Brianne Battye@bbattye: @JayWatamaniuk Everything does.

Jay Watamaniuk@JayWatamaniuk: @bbattye Amen.

Patrick Weekes@PatrickWeekes: Google request: years ago, high school girl having "Want to bone" list posted online by sister went viral. Someone did Mass Effect one.

Patrick Weekes@PatrickWeekes: Shockingly, "Chambers posts Shepard sex list comic" has yielded MANY results, some saved for later, but none relevant.

Chris Wynn@The1Wynn: @user story wise, it wouldn't make much sense

@user: @The1Wynn @user Hey Chris, will there still be a way that this connects to the trilogy, if there are no familiar faces?

Chris Wynn@The1Wynn: @user @user there are plenty of non-character connections. Races, stuff like the Mako. Fans will feel at home.

@user: @The1Wynn @user Glad to hear it will still feel like Mass Effect! So excited to experience it.

Except it won't. Again, the months of hysterical outrage you saw with ME3's ending had more issues that the ending not being pleasing to "fans".

@User: @The1Wynn @user Is there any chance we might see minor characters from the trilogy in Andromeda?

Chris Wynn@The1Wynn: @User @user given that we haven't added every single character to the Andromeda build yet, can't really answer this one yet.

I'm good with this in a certain way. Depends what Chris means when he regards 'familiar faces'.

[clst]

in french we will say that bioware is a fan with " la politique de l'autruche :)"  after that they don't want to spoil you too much it's normal but we re eager to know what a delemm xd

@schlerf should we expect to see a lesbian companion this time around?

 

schlerf ‏@schlerf  Jun 16

@otterhoopdreams @moonlesbians Can't talk re squad mates yet, but trust me that getting the right balance of characters is Job #1 for us.

 

This already makes me roll my eyes. I like the idea of inclusiveness, but I feel it's working against the respect of narrative to create characters based on sexuality, and before anyone says I'm putting words in their mouth, he says "it's our #1 job" to create the right balance of characters. Do I need to explain any further?

Maybe they create the characters, then insert the sexuality. Unless of course you are under the delusion that all gays are the same personality....

 

I'd say your line about all for inclusiveness is a lie if the very first thing that comes to your mind when you see this post is 'They are creating a character specifically to be gay/lesbian/bi'.

 

After all Shepard could be any of those things and could have variant personalities, so it is hardly unrealistic for them to create a character then, later, realize that character would be better if they were gay/lesbian/etc....
