I've been thinking about antagonists lately, and I've happened upon some rough ideas of things I'd like to see.
She just looks like extremely homicidal to me.
I know it's supposed to be a cyborg boxer in a ring, but my first thought was how much I wouldn't want to come across him in a dark alley.
I can't quite put my finger on why I see more of a villain than a hero type in this one. Maybe it's something in the eyes, or maybe it's just the whole holding the gun with assassin style gloves on.
I did enjoy the environments in DA:I and its DLC. Know what I know about the frostbite engine this game will look gorgeous. I would like some more movement options well in combat so it not just duck and fire with both stealth surprise assaults to charging in.
P.S; Onmi-tool colors would be multi-choice between black, gold or black and silver. But if I only get one color would depend on my character. My main character will most likely go with deep blue. 
f.y.i heres interesting info about colors for those who don't know simply using the color from paint that's 255 colors
^Cool, but 2nd and 3rd fit more for Deus Ex though.
Too much cyberpunk here. Not that I dislike it, but it has little to no room in Mass Effect.
That outfit has an aesthetic a bit like Mahouka, but I can't recommend an anime with 26 onii-samas in episode 1.
How I dreadfully want to actually enjoy that series, like you wouldn't even believe.
Its straight up a straight up incest light novel series that actually tells a coherent for the most part plot line, isn't just done for shock value and has a legitimate reasoning for mostly everything in its world and narrative. Its basically what I have been hoping for since the late 90s since my favorite all time brother/sister series concluded on a very unsatisfactory note...but
The protagonist suffers from the same garbage trope as a lot of shonen characters, and that's the problem, I cannot stand infallible cast. If there is no legitimate threat or consequence presented, I cannot invest in a scenario and actually feel for the characters and their plight, its a complete immersion breaker. I mean I was fine with how OP the main character was until they outright stomped a combat veteran who has comparable experience, skill and ability and then they have to break out the deus ex to save the monotone *******.
I mean maybe if the fight had been move even then I wouldn't have turned my head away in disgust but honestly?
I am very finicky when it comes to things I enjoy. And I am not going to sit through another Gundam Seed or Sword Art again, I honestly have better things to do with my time.
That said...It did result in a amusing parody.
That's basically the truth of the series.

I don't know. Ilium is very cyberpunk.
Though I agree it shouldn't be the primary aesthetic. Particularly since we'll probably be doing the rag tag fugitive fleet/plucky colonists thing in Andromeda
A good example of that done right is Mars Zeon or the Delaz Fleet in UC Gundam both of which are remnant movements of the Principality of Zeon that basically had to cut and run with their tails between their legs at the end of their respective wars.(The Neo Zeon War and One Year War respectively) They basically make do with refurbished materials and weaponry because they don't have the manufacturing capabilities of a nation behind them any longer, they don't have the production model to create mobile suits or warships so they basically jury rig their fleets and machines with whatever they can for the most part until they acquire the resources to make more.
I mean their home bases reflect that mentality, the Delaz fleet achors at a shoal zone made up of wreckage and debris left over from the war, which gives them a surplus of raw materials to supplement their own force, and Mars Zeon as their name implies is based on the still uninhabited Mars. I mean you can make this work, regardless of where you make your home, you can create a viable force of production and military might it just takes the proper motivation, resources and time. I mean it also helps that you have suitable equipment for excavation and industrial work as your primary means of defense, mobile suits can double as mining rigs. After all they were originally designed for colony construction, thus they have fairly considerable power in the limbs that are capable of lifting mounds of earth and debris away like its nothing, good for starting a new mine or digging out wreckage and collecting it for valuable metals and computer components.
Plus their gear just looks cool.
I mean look at 1:06 in the video posted down below ._.
Their suits don't have fresh paint on them, their dinged and pitted from use and patch job repairs but damn do they still work effectively.

Mass Effect has always had a heavy cyberpunk influence, it just mixes it with a 60s/70s Ralph MacQuarrie bright openness. ME2's lighting in particular was straight up Blade Runner.
A. Add some jewelry? Perhaps tied to the plot? It doesn't have to be a protagonist fashion statement; perhaps used by an andromedan. Sha'ira's trinket was a plot element opportunity that was wasted to a valueless hint of a message on Eletania. It could have been - should have been - tied to the ME Trilogy plot: Unlocking Vigil, to use for the destruction of the Collector base, and to activate the Crucible. Hoping something like this can be included in the next trilogy.
B. Hieroglyphics that we need to interpret throughout the course of the game, providing clues.
BTW, I never cared for the grotesque prothean vision drilled into Shepard's mind in ME-1. Too disturbing for my tastes. I liked the 'prothean vision' aesthetic, though, and it could be useful in Andromeda, I think.
I don't know. Ilium is very cyberpunk.

Well, I don't know exactly what people call Cyberpunk. Generally I associate it with Blade Runner or Deus Ex. It's both dirty and very robotic, I don't see neither in Ilium. It's very clean and elegant. It's an Asari city after all, just like Thessia. The closest thing to a Cyberpunk city I see in Mass Effect is Omega.
But when it comes to robotics and stuff, Mass Effect never had much of it. Not in in-your-face kind of way at least. If you look at Kai Leng for example, they could have done something like argumentations with him, they even thought about doing it, but picked a more traditional and clean Mass Effect feel.
Now if we're going to talk about more subtles Cyberpunk influence that's another thing. I'm just referring to the pictures that were being posted here. As cool as they might be, I don't see they representing what we will see of Mass Effect, or what we might hope to see.

Jack's look is extremely, in your face, cyberpunk. It's a broad aesthetic and a pretty established influence on ME.
I want med bay like this
Same, it's so pristine and elegant. I don't know how Chakwas was expected to work in that dungeon aboard the first Normandy.

because its full of unrestrained corporations trampling over people.

I wouldn't say that. She's a punk, but the only reason she might invoke a cyberpunk feel is because Mass Effect is set in the future. Of course, that is very subjective and in a way beyond the point. Jack style is an exception in the Mass Effect universe, not a strong trend. Of course, you can find more or less cyberpunk influence depending on you go in the universe.
But my point is that this -wouldn't have been a very good guess for what the protagonist of Andromeda might look. So expecting too much Cyberpunk in Andromeda might not be a good guess.
Alright, we'll agree to disagree. I still say that ME2 thoroughly demonstrated a cyberpunk influence, both on Omega and on the areas of Illium we explored in LoTSB. I get that not everyone likes it, and that some people have a really narrow understanding of it, but I don't understand the protests that it should stay far away from ME. It's a bit late for that.
What is picture from?
I don't think anyone here is particularly expecting it. My big fear with Andromeda is that it will be just one wilderness setting after another. A few of us are hoping for some cyberpunk influence, but not necessarily anything that dominates the design.

I think its more accurate to say that it demonstrated influence by some cyber punk worlds and works not by the genre itself. ME2 largely doesn't touch themes normally brought up by such works.
Alright, we'll agree to disagree.
Yeah, that's why I actually edited my post before you answered it, It's a very subjective matter, and Mars knows BSN has its shares of pointless discussions.
