Overwhelmingly approve. There are no mass effect races I have any interest in playing. It lets them have two voices and invest in more useful cinematics vs. DA.

[Illyria]

Slightly disappointed, but I also approve.  Single player Mass Effect has never offered race selction, so it doesn't feel like something has been taken out.  Having it added it would've just been a nice bonus.

[CronoDragoon]

Approve. Playing as a human is what I'm interested in.

[darkiddd]

Yep. That basically ruined it for me. Everyone wanted the option to play as an alien and Bioware once again did not listen to the community.

 

Not me.

 

Giving the option of different races for the main character detracts from the story and its themes because the story and its themes must adapt and be valid for completely different backgrounds. It makes the game less cinematic and Mass Effect has always tried to be very cinematic, unlike dragon age, which is more RPG, for dragon age it can be done and still the story and world will suffer a bit from it. But with Mass Effect everything would have changed too much, for the worse in my opinion.

[Eivion]

I'm a little disappointed, but I'm fine with and understand the why no multiple races.

[TheJediSaint]

Am human.  Approve.

[daveliam]

I'm definitely disappointed.  I prefer playing non-humans if given an option.  But (apparently unlike most BSNers), I'm willing to hold off judgment until I can see what the game entails.  I'm sure it will be fine and I'll just play non-humans in MEAMP.

[Wulfram]

Honestly, the main reason I'd have liked non-human race options is because it would have been a signal that they were going to tone down the silly "Humanity is the best" stuff.

 

If we can avoid that while still having a human protagonist, I'm cool.  But I'm not really expecting it.

Humanity is the best, though. Any plot that doesn't say that outright just amounts to one that says 'this quality of humanity is the best" because all the other races are just humans with rubber masks anyway.

[TheJester000]

Disappointing but expected. If BW wants us all to be wannabe Shepards than fine, we will just all be wannabes.

[Barnzi88]

While I am disappointed at the lack of race options, I don't have a real problem playing a human protagonist. Probably best that it sticks that way if Bioware wishes to build on its story and resources. Maybe in a new, revamped multi-player we can play different races again.

[billywaffles]

I am fine with it because it was what I expected.

 

What I would NOT like would be visiting alien cities in newly discovered planets overcrowded with adult-shaped humans.

 

And I really hope the guy in the trailer is not the protagonist, I already played with that guy for 300+ hours.

[Barquiel]

well I'll probably not rush to buy it then. I'm honestly bored of human protagonists. I'm a human in real life, it's much more fun to play as something different in games and the Mass Effect universe has so many interesting aliens that would be much more interesting it seems like such a shame to waste the opportunity to explore those races from within by actually playing as one of them instead of just talking to them occasionally

This is how I see it too (especially coupled with the humans are special nonsense that was so prevailent in the Shepard trilogy...)

[KR96]

Expected, Mass Effect never was the full fledged RPG like Dragon Age is.

But I think it is, just because of this. DA multiple races in inquisition was a disaster in my opinion. The camera angles were awkard and most non-primary quest dialogue was distant and not immersive at all. A focus on human only can really do the game, the story, and the character justice.

[smudgedhorizon]

I actually approve, I like my character to represent me, and I'd probably only have chosen a different race if they had abilities that best suited my play style.

What, you don't think a romance scene with an asari LI and an elcor PC would be worth the zots?

Resigned Sigh: I'm sure there are some would argue the opposite.

[Annos Basin]

I think I'm going to be ok as long as it's not humans vs other aliens overall, because that might work only if it takes place on Earth. (Unless your character chooses to be conservative renegade on that matter.) World in earlier Mass Effect games felt easily larger than Earth, and that's why I love them. Specific humankind point of view has been done already, so I hope Andromeda has new politics and alliances and conflicts to explore. If situations are fun/interesting and companions aren't sameys and there's room for player's reactions, it doesn't matter what the main character is. I for one can easily relate to pretty much any protagonist who is curious about other cultures (though it'd be nice to be able to express scepticism too: I'd rather not treat krogan community as a family by default - what I hope the most from this new game is some freedom on this and plenty of different characters to befriend).

 

If there are humans, there should be also other familiar aliens around. Anyone else looking forward to seeing some of them?

[Wulfram]

Humanity is the best, though. Any plot that doesn't say that outright just amounts to one that says 'this quality of humanity is the best" because all the other races are just humans with rubber masks anyway.

 

Maybe, but inventing a bunch of aliens just so we can pat ourselves on the back about how much better we are than them just seems profoundly lame, and doesn't create good stories.

 

If it was "humans are generalists, and generalists are the best" it'd be more tolerable, but humans in mass effect are simply better soldiers than the Turians, better scientists than the Salarians and better... well by ME3 the writers seem to have decided that the Asari are essentially bad at everything except stripping anyway - and humans seem to be making real inroads into the intergalactic stripper market too.

 

...and I'm not sure I'm really responding to you're actual point here, sorry [/end rant]

[Emissary of the Collectors]

In an infinite Sci-Fi universe of many races and technologies we can only be Human because...reasons...

 

Seriously this is utter crap. Dragon Age Origins did a fantastic job of giving us different races, then ME3's MP let us be the Aliens for the 1st time but new Mass Effect? Nope still being the only non-sci-fi thing in the game because screw effort right?

 

If humans were completely non-existent in this Mass Effect (as in not present, not extinct)i wouldve been very pleased but Bioware is taking the easy way out

I actually thought ME2 and ME3 toned down the humans are special rhetoric a lot from ME1 (I mean just remember those speeches from the Council dies endings), but I don't actually disagree with you on how ME3 did a bad job on using other species as expies of interesting traits.

I just think fiction with fantasy races is always going to be human centric, in the sense that all the races will be humans.

[Broganisity]

A safe bet, and I approve that they did not make race selection a thing.

Mass Effect has always had the 'Man's Place in the Galaxy/World' vibe going for it and while Andromeda could have been a game to start a new trend in the series, keeping a singular protagonist was the smart move. They can craft a better character than the blank 'Inquisitor' as they are called in the present day and they will be called in the future. They aren't really that special in regards to the annuls of history.

Whereas [NAME] Shepard, the Hero becomes The Shepard, the legendary figure who saved the Galaxy.

I'd have approved of any race options for the protagonist as well (especially Krogan!    ), but picking a race. . .eh, I'd rather have a singular protagonist to play as. Picking a human for that protagonist allows for the most versatility methinks. . .I will be disappointed if they're another N7 marine though. . .I mean seriously guys. You could have given us a Batarian Ex-Slaver, or a Young Krogan or a Quarian Exile for our protagonist amongst a myriad of other ideas for a solid character. . .but another N7? ;_;

[Steppenwolf]

I was never rooting for human-only, but I think multiple races would have been a detriment. The Inquisitor and DAI in general are made no better from 4 races and the overall wooden and stunted quality of the Inquisitor made me long for Hawke and his insane personality. It would be especially difficult to have an engaging, fleshed out PC with multiple race choices in Mass Effect.
