It will almost certainly launch before the finale of Mass Effect 3 so that the devs won't have to address the aftermath of the endings.

Agreed.

Nice to see you again by the way

[prosthetic soul]

Holy ****, so it seems Bioware does listen to their fans!

Oh, so we have HIM to thank for giving Bioware that "under the rug" idea?  Goddamnit. 

[Iakus]

That's what I hate the most now. Humanity is just reduced to an ideal. Summed up with a Johnny Cash song, I guess.

 

I like preserving more substantial things.

Well, it's like TIM said:

 

Cerberus is humanity

 

Cerberus is an idea

 

Therefore:

 

Humanity is an idea

 

therefore:

 

Humanity can't be killed.

Hoping we do get some throwbacks like that

 

There is that Citadel-ish concept art, we just don't know if it's the ship or not

Because she brings up a contingency plan in ME3 and to me it's more plausible to be a council operation - especially if we wanna take multiple races with us - than an alliance one.

And here I thought her idea was a few high-ranking asari with a harem of trained varren

That's been clear ever since Bioware handed Tali and Garrus to the romance crowd on a silver platter.

Just in case anyone doubted the authenticity of the video, it's on the official channel now.

It would also make sense from a lore perspective. A subset of humans was launched out of the Milky Way in case the Reapers win the war, so that at least the survival of the race is guaranteed.

I think it'll be during ME3 to be honest. It doesn't seem to me it could happen during ME2, and after that it was short time before Shepard got arrested.

Hell, we have no idea why this ark ship was being built, or how long it's been under construction. What if development secretly started on it long before the events of ME1, in response to other galactic threats? Perhaps Sovereign arriving was simply the trigger they needed to embark.

[SinisterSquash]

Would the people in the ark have seen the light show going off in the Milky Way (red, blue, or green)?

And he was wrong to me. Like the whole time in ME2, you search for colonists. "Fight for the lost". Desperately trying to give humans a fighting chance in the world. You weren't there to embody ideas, but to preserve tangible, material welfare (albeit, it was a failure). Only in TIM's mind, was it all about ideals. It's why he found it so easy to abuse humans themselves.

Ahahah, no.  I can detect Hale's voice a mile away.  She has no range. 

Being able to detect who a voice actor is doesn't mean the same thing as not having a range.

 

Hale can bend her voice in some pretty diverse directions even if there's signs of the base one in all of them.

The fact you said you'd watched a 15-minute video within a minute is a huge middle finger to all of us fans of how time actually works.  I think I'm going to be mad about it for at least 3 years.

[Saphothere]

Would they be looking in that direction when it happened...or when the light from said burst reached them?

[DebatableBubble]

If all goes well, they won't.

Okay I could see it as a relic from the Krogan Rebellions or even the Rachni Wars.

 

Still doesn't explain the massively extended range

[SinisterSquash]

I don't know ....that's why I am asking? Any one know how time dilation works at the intergalactic level? Kabooooooom? Anyone?

I'm already mad

That's possible, though i think it's more likely it happened during after ME/before Shepard's death then before ME3. Unless Shepard's message has no meaning, in this case it could happen before ME3.

[shepskisaac]

Maybe the "Ark" ship on the inside will somewhat resemble the Citadel

Well duh lol

 

 

Safe bet this is the inside of the Ark

[NKnight7]

I wonder if that will be considered the 'main room' of the ship. It'll probably take up the most space.

[DextroDNA]

So if the Ark did leave during the events of ME3, they wouldn't have reached Andromeda before the end. Which means, the people on board the Ark would probably have been able to see the shockwave from the Crucible/Citadel as it covered the entire Galaxy. There must be some speculation above the people onboard about what happened.

 

Just a thought I had. The people on the Ark may know something has happened in the Milky Way, but they're not sure what

It'd have to be pretty damn late if Shepard's "meaning" would ever be relevant. It only gets truly voiced at the final Earth speech probably.. or fighting against TIM.

Shepard knew the Reapers were coming and that they were essentially an impossible foe. That message could have been recorded any time after ME1.

Even with a Reaper engine it would take over 200 years for a ship to reach Andromeda (let alone find an inhabitable world to colonize
