I wonder if in ME:A humans will become the predominant race, or, at least if they will start at par with other race, unlike the previous installment where (especially at the beginning) they were considered an inferior race from the older races like Asari, Salarians or Turians. Maybe this will be a secondary effect of moving from Milky Way to Andomeda: let's reset all and renegotiate the older hierarchies...

[Treacherous J Slither]

Humanity first?

We aren't going to Andromeda alone and i'm sure the other races traveling with us won't take kindly to that mindset.

People running around spouting nonsense like that will probably be either eaten by a krogan or torn apart at the molecular level by an asari and rightfully so.

We have to do this together.

[Treacherous J Slither]

I got the feeling of repeating myself...

Humanity is the Milky Way rookie. They just begun space exploration while other races do so for thousand of years. They are unstable, quick to work for criminals, kings of the unethical weaponry, masters of the betraying and the backstabbing... So, they MUST be the leader race to go in a new galaxy!

After all, while other races were trying to build space colonies, we were killing Indian in America, Azteques, Tolmèques, using the slavery, making some of the dirtiest wars the galaxy has ever known... really, we are the best guys to discover a fresh new galaxy while all the other species are in awe!

Feeling depressed...

Do you really think that none of the alien races ever fought amongst themselves and have a history just as bloody as ours?

Have you seen the krogan homeworld?

[Treacherous J Slither]

That 30 year jump from earthbound primitives to galactic leaders made absolutely no sense on any level.

I've said the same thing myself.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Oh, didn't you know? We're "genetically diverse"

No they won't. Krogan can be killed, as can Asari. I certainly killed many of both in the Trilogy as a human. 

 

And as I recall, my trilogy ended with humanity utterly ascendant with the Reapers to maintain that status quo forever.

 

Why should we do things cooperatively? Why can't we do things unilaterally? Why can't we be the masters of the universe?

[Dantriges]

One ship full of refugees of many MW species, looking for a new home, arrving in completely uncharted territory and we are talking about dominating the galaxy in what? Three games which span perhaps a decade, after some infighting, who is king of the hill/ARK? Unless the Helios Cluster is a galactic wasteland, which can offer no resistance, we aren´t in the realm of unrealistic, but magic wonderland surpassing the green synthesis, lifeforce beam turning leaves into computers.

[Vortex13]

Even if ME:A or a potential new trilogy ends with Humanity ruling over the Helios Star Cluster, I hope that our area of dominance remains a minuscule dot compared to the rest of the galaxy. 

 

ME 1-3 went too big, too fast in regards to boundaries and areas traveled (IMO). If less than 1% of the Milky Way was explored, then the galaxy map should reflect that, not having Alliance held space taking up a quarter of the galactic disk.

The setting can be huge and involved, but keep it realistic in terms of scale. For example look at the Traveller setting:

Spoiler

 

A massive, sprawling sandbox, but charted space only just covers about 500 parsecs; which is barley more than a pixel compared to the rest of the galaxy. Mass Effect: Andromeda needs to follow suit (again IMO).

Humanity is #1. Always will be.

Humanity is #1 among humans which isn't a great accomplishment to begin with

Given Andromeda didn't have a billion years of cycles of destruction keeping development in check, it's entirely possible the galaxy is ruled by a bunch of Qs

 

John de Lancie to voice the antagonist?  

[themikefest]

And what accomplishments do the other species have?

[GDICanuck]

We totally should be able to subjugate the Andromeda galaxy. And then, when the time is right, we will return to the Milky Way and bring enlightenment to the barbarians we left behind. For the glory of the Clans and Kerensky!

Wait, wrong franchise.

The illusion of the Mass Effect Milky Way galaxy map lies in the mass relays, where some of them take you acroos the entire galaxy. That map does not show that the whole Milky Way is explored and settled, it simply shows that outposts and colonies are scattered around, where ever the Mass relays go. And many of them are unmapped or undiscovered. As a reminder, less that 0,5 percent of the milky way galaxy was still unexplored.

 

In humanitys space there it does not mean that humanity controls 5th of the galaxy, it simply means most of our colonies are centered on that section of galaxy, which humanity had couple of dozens of worlds it had conquered i guess. The border size means nothing, likely asari and turians had 10 times the total number of colonies in their respected spaces.

 

But were going to andromeda now, so what the hell does it matter. And yes, the explorable space is way smaller in size, tough it might be larger in the number of visitable worlds(what they are promising at least). They better not be empty pallet change wastelands with same buildings in them like in a certain game...

 

And concerning the takeover of andromeda, hold ur horses there conquistadors. This is not like going to the new world from spain. We dont know how many civilizations there are, what kind of technological or power level they have and we dont have reinforcements coming... at all. So its terra incognita with very small explorative group. Id stay on my toes in there and not step on others .

[GDICanuck]

^ The map is a bit misleading, considering the entire Batarian Hegemony is considered "Alliance space".

(As it rightfully should be, I might add.)

We'll learn those Andromedans a lesson or give them space measles trying. 

[goishen]

Ya know something?  Never once in the entire series did you ever see an asari child whose mother had chosen a human mate.  We only heard about it, briefly, from the one dating a krogan (Charr, for some reason I can remember his name, but can't remember hers) in ME2.  Hmmmmmm.  Bet that we're gonna have a squadmate that's an asari that has had a human parent.

 

EDIT :  And no, I'm not talking about Shepard and Liara.

[Dantriges]

There´s one female soldier in the Embassy, whose talking with the asari clerks at the desk in ME 3. IIRC it´s after the coup.

 

But the pairing is probably rather rare given humanity´s short time on the galactic scene.

[N7Jamaican]

And what accomplishments do the other species have?

 

Species needed the Humans to save them from Saren, the Geth, and Sovereign. The other species needed Shepard to unite the galaxy. The other species wouldn't have know about the Reapers if it wasn't for a human... The other species don't have one of the most advanced frigate..

 

WHat have they accomplished?

[Keitaro57]

Have you seen the krogan homeworld?

Yeah, and they are in a nuclear winter since more than 1000 years. I was thinking about the other three Council races : They have thousands years knowledge about space exploration in unknown places. When humanity gain access to the Citadel, they gained the space map where almost all the blank spot where filled by the works of Asari, Turian and Salarian explorators. They are the professionals for the jump in the unknown! And they will sit back and look Huaminty doing the same work but with less efficacity because they lack the feedback?

 

I have enough of the humanity "space Marie Sue"! It goes totally against common sense and the more I hear about a "human-centred story", the more I don't want this Mass Effect game.

[Lonely Heart Poet]

Krogans. Let's see what happens - and if Shepard cured the genophage, they will be in powerful positions one way or another.

[KaiserShep]

Yeah, but then the humans prove superior again by being immune to the effects of Slim Whitman.
