I am fine with the ryder family i liked it in DA2 but i hope there not just being put in the game to klll of half of them again bioware really like to kill off family members. I want them to do more with the family.
Get the feeling the N7 guy is the older brother or father of ryder.
But nice to get some info.
No, I meant what I said
Like Tommy was saying:
Sovereign was just laying around the Citadel for years. We know there are other pieces of Reaper technology scattered throughout the galaxy, including the carcasses of dead Reapers. We know there have been people who know about the Cycle of Destruction for ages, and many of them even knew the Reapers were responsible. Really, the Ark makes much, much more sense than any of those things I mentioned.
Moreover, things need to have narrative purpose. You keep trying to make the Ark fit the lore. That's not the point. They've come out and said it: they made the decision to go to Andromeda so they wouldn't have to carry over the choices from the trilogy and ME3 in particular. It's completely pointless and just a poor decision all around to go to Andromeda after ME3. Even if the Ark would have been as forced a plot device as you paint it, it would still have been preferable.
The Black Ark Theory that you were responding to is literally using Collector ships or the data gathered about Collector ships to build the Arks since Collector ships had Reaper-equivalent drives. James Vega retrieved extensive data, including ship schematics, in Mass Effect: Paragon Lost, which takes place before or during the time Shepard wakes up so we have plenty of time to build those drives and put them in Arks. So I was confused why you were comparing it to the things that made no sense.
Apart from yours being a categorically hilarious claim that ignores the fact that nuclear powered subs have in never needing to surface and expose themselves to charge diesel-electric batteries (and therefore even making SLBM's an effective part of the Nuclear Triad), who mentioned subs? Many classes of modern vessels run on nuclear power due to its advantages. Only a retarded person could ignore obvious advantages in power, speed, available displacement, reliability and range (with the primary disadvantage being high costs).
Having faster, more manuverable and larger vessels with heavier payload and larger combat radius is a tactical boon. You clearly have no idea what I nor you are talking about, as usual. Educate yourself at least a little, please.

and then retry to counter the analogy, keeping in mind the advantage with Reaper drives is even larger. Hypothetically, giving first dibs on the latest, greatest naval proplulsion advantage to goddamn Jeac Cousteau instead of putting it on your military aircraft carriers or subs is dumb, dumb, dumb. Like"ah, yes Reapers" dumb, which probably explains it.
Hey, that's some real nice BS there, buddy. But speed=/=power in a space battle or a naval battle. Advanced weapons are actually needed. A really maneuverable ship does not come preloaded with the best weapons just because it's nimble, and a spaceship with a Reaper FTL drive does not come preloaded with Reaper-buster missiles just because it's as fast as a Reaper.
Your argument is stupid. Give it a rest.

Nah. They simply had no interest in doing such. People may not have liked it, but we learned exactly what their motivations were. In general, going beyond the Milky Way would've been useless to them. I can come up with some corner cases in which they might need to do some odd things in order to fulfill their programming, but in general, their purpose would be fulfilled by staying home in the MW.
I suppose that depends on starchild's logic. He had a pretty broad mandate in the "preserve life" thing. It seems like the odds of preserving life would increase with the number of galaxies under his control, assuming that he was capable.
Right, Reapers supposedly go twice as fast as council ships, don't need to discharge, and apparently have unlimited energy. Strange they wouldn't have just magically taken over Andromeda if they didn't have any range limitations.
Not in their programming. Leviathans were from Milky Way, so they harvested Milky Way.
Or maybe they went to Andromeda, but something drove them away(the remnants?).
This sounds bad. MP will probably affect the SP, just like the Galaxy Readiness on ME3. Argh. They say it won't but i'm 100% sure that it will.

Oh, I'm aware of the Black Ark theory and I agree it's a good explanation. I was just arguing that it wasn't the only good explanation. When I mentioned those "things that made no sense" I was contrasting them to the idea of an Ark in general. There are explanations for the Ark (Black Ark included) that make far more sense than Cerberus, the Lazarus Project, or the Crucible.
It's not dumb at all if you think a conventional military victory is impossible. You're putting your best propulsion device on your real plan to survive the Reapers - the equivalent of Plan B in Interstellar.
Yeah, if I was given the choice?
Plan A: Try your luck against the immensely powerful machines that have destroyed countless civilizations before yours. Did I mention conventional victory is impossible? Also, did you know our only hope is some kind of schematic on Mars no one noticed until now? We don't know what it does, or how it works, so we'll have to hope pressing the trigger kills them AND doesn't turn us all to dust or something worse.
Plan B: Let's put as many people as we can on a fleet and send them packing to Andromeda. With any luck they will be safe there — from the Reapers at least.
I'll take Plan B every time.
- Multiplayer is optional and you can experience everything the singleplayer has to offer without participating in multiplayer. But when you do choose to play multiplayer, the experience will feel seamless from the singleplayer experience.

They said the same thing about seemless coop in DS3 which caused several side missions to be unavailable.
Normandy-ish ship. Citadel-ish station. ME3 third person shooter-ish. ME3 Brute-ish.
OK, BioWare.

I think it's more likely the former.

I doubt they'll lock again content with the need to use MP to unlock it. They fixed that problem in ME3, I don't see why they'd follow the same route.

There was some mp info in the leak, mostly concerning defending colonies, or having NPC merc group do that for you. Also raiding khet (antagonist race or faction) outposts and discovering remnant tech inside their vaults while racing against thieves or khet. What i seem to remember was that it was optional, but you wil get optional powerful and new gear for sp in mp.

Ryder woke up from a stasis pod. That means the ARK's journey to Andromeda took centuries.
Question now is when did it leave?
They said the same thing about seemless coop in DS3 which caused several side missions to be unavailable.
They're not the same devs. Also, Bioware did say DAI's MP won't affect SP, and it didn't, and in ME3 they later fixed the need to play MP to get some endings.
Question now is when did it leave?
They answered that. Before the Mass Effect 3 endings:
http://www.ign.com/a...ffect-andromeda
Question now is when did it leave?
Apparently they confirmed in a article by IGN in the previous page that the project left before ME3's endings.
Question now is when did it leave?
Apparently before the reapers arrived.
Yep. Retcons.
They answered that. Before the Mass Effect 3 endings:
Didnt finish reading all the articles....
Well...I was wrong.

Sorry, by they I mean game developers who say stuff like seemless (blank).
Still not liking that 'Ryder' name.
I'm sorry if anyone in here has that name but it just sounds so cartoony and douchey to me lol. I cannot imagine my character being referred to as "Ryder"
"Ryder, your mission is to infiltrate bla bla bla"
"What do you need Ryder?"
"Yes Ryder?"
Ugh, it's just not working.
I think it's more likely the former.

Would you prefer "The Shepherd"?

Yep. Retcons.
I think there are good chances that it'll involve retcons, but it's not sure. I'll wait and judge after we'll know more.

Ah, understood.
