What types of species exist in Andromeda? What kind of tech might they have? Are they similar to the MW species or not? What about biotics?

[Hanako Ikezawa]

It's impossible to say right now since we know so little about the setting. For now, anything is possible. Once we learn more then we can start to better hypothesize about this. For example if the Reapers have been to Andromeda, then Andromeda would have technology similar to ours while if they didn't then the technology could have evolved in any number of ways.

Aliens.

On a serious note though, I would imagine the intelligent species would be like the one in the Milky Way in terms of mostly humanoid shaped beings with maybe a exception or two (like the hanar or elcor). Who knows what the plants/animals there could be. The biotics part has not occurred to me before, if that would keep that as a Milky Way species only thing or maybe give some of the native Andromeda species different 'space magic' if at all.

I would imagine there natives of the Andromeda galaxy would have biotics as well, since biotic ability is a side effect of element zero exposure. The only exception would be if Andromeda were eezo poor, but that would spell trouble for the Milky Way colonists, since eezo is also needed for space travel.

And eezo is created in supernovae. There's no reason it would be eezo poor. The "mass effect" will definitely feature as a major technological deal in Andromeda, as it did in the MW. Having Andromedan species use some other technology would literally disregard the game's namesake. It's called Mass Effect for a reason.

Oops, I totally forgot about that.

What if we get there and life is all dextro based? There's no harvestable plant or animal life because the amino acids are all reversed like Turians/Quarians and their homeworlds? Dextro-amino acids are mirrored amino acids, we cannot use them, our proteins cannot form links with them due to their reversed structure. 

 

Andromeda Galaxy: "LOL, you fools!"

Well I just want to hear theories. It doesn't have to be solid.

Well, then there is my theory. The Reapers have been harvesting more than just the Milky Way, so the various aliens we encounter will like us be following the breadcrumbs they leave behind and thus will have similar tech, both in operation and level of sophistication, and utilize the Mass Effect in a similar way we do outside of technology, like biotics.

I hope that is how things turn out. 

 

Giving the Reapers a backstory where they were active in potentially the entire Local Group, would conveniently explain why the Milky Way colonists don't run into a Class III civilization in Andromeda, as well as providing an Andromedan mass effect relay network.

Me personally, I'd rather only have the reapers mentioned and not actually part of the main story.

Yes. Absolutely. But I guarantee that the people who brought you the ending of ME3 wont write something nearly that elegant.

Prepare yourself for contrivances and cliches, probably involving another "ancient evil" (cough Remnant). And really...Remnant, Bioware? You couldn't think of a two syllable word for an antagonist that didn't begin with an R??

I talk a lot of **** sometimes, but I am massively stoked for Andromeda, it's true. Always have been, even before they announced Andromeda when we already knew it would be in Andromeda. But I dont have super high hopes for a stellar story. Character stories, yes. But not the overarching plot, unfortunately. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised. I hope so.

[Addictress]

Do you think they had to build a whole new universe of lore? Like a big hidden secret, buried in a web of lore, that could be developed over multiple installments??

[Addictress]

Like every galaxy has its own deep egg of surprise

Some lore I'm almost positive will remain the same. Everything involving the "mass effect" technology for example. Because the game is called "mass effect", not "create a wormhole to travel between star systems effect" or something.

But every new alien species will have an extensive back story of lore, and so will the area of Andromeda that is being explored.

And if the leak is to be believed (so far it has proven to be entirely accurate, straight down to the physical description of the female human character, confirmed in the recent leak), then we are searching ancient ruins of the "Remnant", a mysterious, ancient and hyperadvanced species that vanished long ago.

Sound familiar?

I'm guessing there will be a similar plot twist to ME1, making them the antagonists, most likely, and returning in force to Andromeda. Another plot twist by introducing a new superantagonist would be too similar to the Reapers.

The plot basically sounds like it is going to be "explore the ruins of the Protheans (Remnant) and find out why they went missing, *insert plot twist*"

In that and other ways, it seems like it'll be a lot like ME1...just in Andromeda. And I have no real problem with that, ME1 was awesome.

reapers. hahaha

the remnant is not the enemy, as far as we know. The only enemy we've heard of are the khet. And the ME3 endings got a bad rap but they were not as bad as people believe them to be. They don't look at the bigger picture. But that's a discussion for another time. No need to bring that debate here.

Fetching quests.

Sexy aliens. With human faces. And boobs.

I said I think they will make them the antagonist, as a very predictable plot twist, since we already know from another leak that there is an "advanced, ancient alien species that looks antagonistic". Connect the dots. It's a prediction, yes. But then again, I was one of the ones who predicted the move to Andromeda a year before the official announcement soo...not to toot my own horn, but everything they have done so far is extremely predictable story wise. I suspect this will be too.

More on topic, what do I expect in Andromeda? Basically this:

That's a summary of everything confirmed already, developer comments on Andromeda, cross referenced to leak material that has mostly turned out accurate. Enjoy.

Intergalactic space racists. And Cerberus too.

Wait... what would be "elegant" about making moving the setting to Andromeda pointless?

[LightningPoodle]

Andromeda will have aliens. Are they going to be similar ton what we've already seen? Yes and no. Yes, most are going to walk on two legs and have thumbs. Yes, they are going to have the right amount of limbs. But no, we aren't going to get a race that looks kinda like Turians. If we do, well, BioWare needs to hire new artists with more imagination.

The kind of tech will be different. Andromeda doesn't have cycles like the Milky Way. They wouldn't have been based around the same core principle. "We use relays to get around because they were left by some previous race." No, that's not going to happen in Andromeda.

Biotics... it all depends on whether or not Element Zero exists outside the Milky Way. We might brings some along with us, but whether or not the Andromeda species have them is another matter.

There's only one credible leak, and it doesn't mention "an advanced, ancient alien species that looks antagonistic."
