[This is the End My Friend]

Was never really interested in the Andromeda angle, we'll see what the rest of the game shapes up to be. 

[AlanC9]

I don't know where you guys are getting these standards from, but remember that we needed the Mass Relays to travel between star systems in the milky way. You can't travel between galaxies.

Those numbers they're quoting come straight from the Codex. But even if you don't read, you should have noticed that the Normandy is capable of travelling between systems without using a relay. It is not possible to complete either ME2 or ME3 without doing that.

I don't think the leaks are necessarily true, the location of the game was being speculated long before.

[Spacepunk01]

Oh stop thinking and just bask in the feels!

 

Well, I didn't get the feels because of that horrible music they played. I wanted Mass Effect, not cowboys and aliens.

The leak talked about a bunch of other stuff that was in the trailer though. 

 

(One of the main things was being able to upgrade your leg armour to do jetpack leaps, which we just saw.)

They are not coming straight out of the codex. They are used as the base for a calculation and then throwing away all the restrictions that go along with them.

 

I think the writers would be much better keeping the galaxies completely separate. Don't give anyone the technology to move between galaxies in 250 years, it is a massive narrative mistake and you would simply have to ask the question about wth a synthesized reaper isn't showing up in a synthesis world state.

Oh, you did not just diss Johnny Cash, you uncouth primitive.

I guess what I meant to say was that we needed the relays to travel between star clusters.

 

You guys should know this:

 

Element zero FTL drives accumulate a static electrical charge when a vessel has been in FTL flight for some time. This charge steadily increases with the amount of time a vessel spends in FTL. Eventually, it must be discharged. 

 

There is no place to discharge this energy when you're traveling the empty space between galaxies.

I didn't say that the calculations worked. I said that the numbers came straight from the codex, which is quite true. There's a case to be made against Andromeda, but if Spacepunk01 wants to join in, he needs to up his game a bit

I concur. I've been betting on a one-shot wormhole ever since the leak.

I always find people objecting to Mass Effect - a series that's so comically ignorant about, say, biology or chemistry - on scientific grounds hilarious.

Oh it was always space magic, but the original trilogy was, up until the Crucible, mostly internally consistent space magic. Depending on how the trip to Andromeda is handled, it's possible internal consistency will be thrown out the window because of how badly ME3's ending fucked the Milky Way.

Reaper tech, they weren't discharging while FTLing for 2 years to Milky Way either

[Heldarion]

You can't travel between galaxies! Why did they have to do this, there are billions of stars in the milky way, and we only visited about fifty of them in the original trilogy! This is a long shot even for science fiction. Do they have any idea what it means to travel to another galaxy? Even with FTL this would take hundreds of thousands of years! What's going on?

 

How are they suppose to convince us that this is possible?

 

Say hello to our old friend, Mr Space Magic.

I'm fine with that honestly, In my opinion it don't need to make perfect sense, as long as they try to distance themselves from the mess that is ME3 ending, all the better.

And mass relays were somehow really, really believable from the start?

 

Straight-up wormholes could be a possibility, an unknown alien technology along the lines of mass relays is another possibility (and maybe that's how we end up in Andromeda if the leaked stuff about everyone competing to recover mysterious new tech is true), or perhaps we might discover some existing mass relays with galaxy-spanning properties (this is assuming that the relay system has been repaired and restored). And hey, who knows - good old-fashioned human-made/salarian-made/asari-made/volus-made/whoever-the-heck-made physics breakthroughs could be a possibility.

 

I like hard sci-fi and believable technologies, but maybe it's a little early to go all physics police on the game.

Not just scientific grounds, but their own lore, they're not even following their OWN space magic!

And there is absolutely no different center between two years and 2 centuries.

Or are you suggestions get that the Reapers will be in Andromeda too?

Mass Effect 1 at least tried to live up to the "Science" part of its Science Fiction label.

ay, where can I find this leak?

What they did in the original trilogy was acceptable. The Reaper concept was great and it allowed us to believe that interstellar travel was plausible. Traveling to other galaxies is something you don't want to take on lightly. Not to mention that the Reapers would've already traveled to Andromeda millions of years ago, established the relay system and then start dictating the evolution of organic life in the galaxy.

 

BioWare has not thought this through!

Not just scientific grounes, but their own lore, thry'really not even following their OWN space magic!

 

Yeah exactly this. It's not a problem to me if things aren't all realistic, as long as it has some kind of coherence in the in-game universe, but start breaking stuff you already established apart or bypassing it is kinda lame.
