I don't have one

I'm a full time college student, what I do on my downtime is none of your business, so kindly **** off. Thank you!

Obvious troll is obvious.

Meh. It's a year away. I don't even worry about things happening next week.

I'm the complete opposite, I worry about so many things at once. It's pretty awful.

I honestly don't understand how I'm trolling?

We don't know much. Just remind yourself that the trilogy won't stop existing whether or not you like this game. 
 
Also, it might be a good idea not to follow the hype too closely. When I let myself get too caught up in how much I was looking forward to DAI, it made it more disappointed when I didn't completely love it. This game will probably be very different from 1,2, and 3, so it may be better to prepare for the possibility that this game won't be everything you're hoping for rather than worrying about whether it will.

Yeah, thanks! I'm probably already driving myself crazy just thinking about it. i'm gonna try and stop thinking about it so much lol

This, I'm excited for Andromeda too but usually it helps to just keep expectations reigned in for the time being. Play the game for what it is, play it with an open mindset really. You might enjoy the game a lot more by doing that. 

True! I'll try and stop thinking about it so much and when it does come out I'll keep an open mind.

Lazy troll is lazy.

I'm getting trolled by a troll that thinks I'm a troll. Okay

You beat me to answering him, thanks. It's also worth noting that people live to 150 in Mass Effect, and presumably work for a longer period of time because they are capable of doing so. Even if his grandfather was 80 in the First Contact War and in a command position, it is still a plausible statement.

I'm wrong on the age point, but this is impossible without medical technology advancing to the point of functional immortality. The way to increase our lifespan right now is to keep the various things that naturally kill us from happening - such as organ failure. We're not actually slowing down how fast age. Think of people living to 100+ today - they're healthy for their age, but they're not actually young.

This type of population would actually be a bit of a disaster socially (think of the issues Japan is having today).

Don't worry, be happy

I did purchase a ps4 yesterday. I've got what I need for when the game is released. Until that time, I'll continue to play the ME trilogy and DA games

Not necessarily - the exact pathophysiology (and that terminology directly implies aging is a disease, I dont care) is currently unknown, but we have a pretty good idea. Obviously, telomere shortening alone is insufficient to explain the aging phenotype. Telomere shortening and free radical production causing gradual mitochondrial DNA damage and eventual nuclear DNA damage is sufficient to explain most of the aging phenotype. Other possible causes have also been proposed, and are plausible.

Point is, immortality in the sense you are speaking of is biologically impossible. Im not talking about the poorly and unfortunately named "biological immortality" of such species as the Hydra. Aging happens because of entropy. **** breaks down with time, it is what it is, and cellular machinery goes to great extent to prevent this from happening. Indeed, current research into anti-aging is almost exclusively focused on exactly this. Additionally, we know from comparative biology that many animal species can live to be well over 150-200 years (and almost all of them exhibit a degree of metabolic suppression, further evidence for a mitochondrial role in the process) - including bowhead whales, to use a mammal as an example to counter the different physiology of other long-lived species, such as certain tortoises. And on the opposite end of the spectrum are many short-lived species, such as canines, which not only age considerably faster but also develop age-correlated diseases such as neoplasia faster (but in relative proportion to their life span, which again suggests a strong correlation between aging and nucleic acid mutation with time). Clearly, evolution can have a dramatic effect on both slowing aging and prolonging life, or on the opposite, depending on selective pressures.

So, I can quite easily foresee a (possibly relatively near) future where anti-aging treatments are used to prolong both lifespan and relative youth. But eventually, this will inevitably reach a wall. True immortality, or close enough to it, could probably only be attained through synthetic consciousness.

But who would want to live forever anyways. If someone wants immortality, I'm quite certain that they are a moron and they not only cannot comprehend the nature of "forever" and how horrifying it would be to exist eternally, but also do not appreciate their own life to the degree that they should.

About to go to sleep and I think 'oh I'll just look at the forum.'
And this is what I read. Thanks for that. Not gonna be having sweet dreams now.

Unfortunately, I believe observed behavior from some other game developers casts concerns on the entire game development community. Particularly when "our" lead writer leaves to take a job at one of the PRIME offenders. While I still have faith Andromeda will deliver, I too have a worry itch, which is all too easy to scratch these days.
