So essentially by ME3 the Mass Effect Universe seemed pretty standard SciFi so I'm hoping the change of venue ratchets up the weirdness factor in Andromeda. 

[Ahglock]

I hope to rachet it down.

OMG what does she have on? she ratchet!!!!!

[Fredward]

Are we talking Mieville level weird here?

[spinachdiaper]

Well weirder than Mass Effect 1-3, Star Wars, Star Trek, Babylon 5 and Farscape would be ideal.

Pretty sure that would be too weird for mainstream consumption.

BioWare's new series is 'John Dies at the End' just to give us a heaping dose of weird. Andromeda will just have a bunch of humanoid aliens doing human-type BS.

[Ahglock]

Huh because I'd put Mass effect at farscape weird levels, with it surpassing it with its endings.

Although I like China Mieville's work, I think that would be way too high a degree of weirdness for most people - putting something like Embassytown into movie/tv/game form would be difficult. Anyway, my personal opinion is that ME might not quite be hard sci-fi, but it tilts in that direction. Though I like Farscape a lot (was a huge fan) and saw the OP mention it, I don't quite see the ME-verse suddenly populated by Rygel-like characters, heh.

How are those more weird then Mass Effect? People have different things that they consider weird and to me all that you list are about as weird as Mass Effect.

I wouldn't mind if Andromeda leans more towards Sci Fantasy like Fifth Element.

[spinachdiaper]

When it's new and weird enough it feels like Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole, which is the moment your imagination is held captive in a world of endless possibilities. ME1 had a little of that while ME2 & ME3 only had the tiniest glimmer of it.

you have a seat reserved, front row. next to RUUUBYYYY RHOOOOOD! he's so talented, don't you think? I just love him, he's so sexy.

BioWare does love their silly singing scenes.

 

[Moose Invictus]

Andromeda is a huge galaxy spanning space exploration focusing on probing planets to the sound of Tricia Helfer's voice.

 

You're welcome.

[Hair Serious Business]

So you want ME:A to be 'Saints Row 4' from what I understand 

[Puddi III]

I like Knights of Sidonia's third gender and human photosynthesis that doesn't require people to be naked all the time. Actually I like most of the lore, too bad the character writing leaves a lot to be desired.

Weird in what context? Scary-weird? Creepy-weird? B-grade movie weird?

 

I wouldn't mind it like this tbh

 

[Helios969]

Andromeda just needs to be focused on good writing and not rely on weird or shock to sell copies.

[Chealec]

Define "weird" ... are we talking Plan 9 From Outer Space weird? Zardoz weird? Mars Attacks weird?

 

... or something more grounded yet creepy weird like Event Horizon or Pitch Black?

 

... or mess with your head weird, like A Scanner Darkly or Dark City?

 

 

Weird really is terribly subjective.

[Han Shot First]

I'm okay with some weirdness. A lot of stuff in space after all, is pretty weird. 

 

Having said that, I also hope the series leans a bit more towards hard Sci Fi and avoids the brand of weirdness that worked itself into Mass Effect 3's endings. 

 

Can we get specifics on exactly the sort of weirdness being asked for in ME:A?

How much weirder could it get??

[Mcfly616]

If by getting "weirder" you mean having more aliens that don't have exactly two arms, two legs, eyes, ears and a mouth.....yeah, they could and should get alot more weird.
