The most intriguing question to me is how much will the idea of "we're the aliens" dominate the storyline, and how will it make us feel? Setting aside good/evil for a moment, any race that sees us come into their galaxy will have to perceive us as an invasion threat.  It's their galaxy, not ours.  We're the aliens.  Even the good guys would have to presume that, at least at first, until they check us out.  And even then, there would be suspicions and limitations...  

 

Then they'll see us start colonizing planets?  I'm sensing shades of the human/Turian conflict and the Council races' wariness toward humans.  But now all of our Milky Way races will feel that wariness against them for the first time (maybe some will even apologize for the way they treated us humans, now that the shoe's on the other foot?).  And what if some of those races we bring start to make trouble, such as the Yahgs?  Won't we be judged and held accountable for what they do?  What will Andromeda's attitude be toward the AI we bring along?  Have they had organic/synthetic conflicts of their own?  Did they ever find a solution for it?

 

To me, there are many story possibilities about being treated as the aliens, on a whole 'nother level.  It can't simply be that we're the good guys who come in and help wipe out evil aliens infesting the Andromeda galaxy, as we rise to the top of Andromeda's power structure, can it?  That seems overly simplistic, when we're the unknown element "invading" another established galaxy.  Unless nobody really detects us until we're well-established in the galaxy's unexplored areas...

 

And then there's the whole paragon/renegade factor in how we colonize.  Could we choose to be "good" aliens or "bad" aliens coming into a foreign galaxy?

 

Lots of questions about what it will be like and feel like to be the aliens in this other galaxy.

I am looking forward to see how this dynamic works out.  I wonder if there is going to be a scenario where we choose to make an alliance with an Andromeda species we end up alienating a Milky Way faction in the process.

Ask me again after i explode out from the thoracic cavity of the first andromedan we cross.

Given the series track record they'll probably have dialogue gushing about humanity being special. Or they'll deliver criticism that is still meant to ego-stroke the player, by the aliens describing as negative a trait the player views as admirable.

"You humans, you're always so [blank]."

5 credits says there is at least one similar line in the game.

There is a different feeling when you go to a place where you are the visitor and language is an issue.  (Reminds me of my trip to Cuba years ago.)

^By far the most grating facet of the series in my book.

Andromeda ending = Beginning of a new Contact War. Andromeda 2 = during the Contact War. Andromeda 3 = Zootopia, where predator and prey get along, and sing Kumbaya.

We are going to colonize and settle there, whether the natives like it or not is another story.

It's going to feel bad*** that's how it's going to feel.

That's definitely the attidute my PC will have going into this.

[Medhia_Nox]

I am very much hoping we are seen as refugees at the mercy of the powers that be.

 

I want to spend the game convincing them not to wipe out the plague ships of the Milky Way.

 

Then, at the end, I want them to allow me to settle at the fringe of THEIR galaxy. 

 

Anything more can come in later games.

I believe it depends on two issues: how advanced are the local alien civilizations and what will be their first reaction on arrival of milky way colonists. 

[A Clever Name]

Man, I'm so excited to be the alien this time!

 

...Oh, wait.  We already were.  Other than universal location, that hasn't really changed about humanity on a wider scope.  To the various Milky Way species we were always alien, so I don't see how this is a particularly unique or refreshing spin on the Mass Effect series.  I just really hope this doesn't come off as skeevy land-grabbing, manifest destiny BS wrapped up in poetic metaphors.  That would just be distasteful.

How will it feel?

For me, it depends alot on the opening fifteen minutes of the story. Did they write a good introduction that made sense as to how, when, why we came to Andromeda without butchering the lore?

If it's a good intro then; I will feel pumped and ready for anything.

If bad intro with nonsense lore wise; I will probably be sick to my stomach.

[Laughing_Man]

It depends on a lot of factors. Like the technological level of the Andromedans, their culture, and most importantly,

how much of the Andromeda galaxy is actually already taken by those aliens.

 

According to the trailers it seems that there are quite a few planets that look habitable and yet lack sentient life forms.

I'm hoping to see different races on different technological levels.

 

Could be amusing if at least one of the races places an utmost emphasis on not making contact with pre-spaceflight civilisations only for the ARK(s) to do so accidentally and to such a degree that is basically barrelling all over the notion.

 

I'm kind of hoping to see the Values Dissonances trope in effect in terms of culture but without all of said values and cultural differences being presented as bad things. A number of modern cultures take a very attitude to things from each other and it would be interesting to see that in the game.

Yes but I hope they'll put a little more effort and thought into such things than they did into the troll-logic of the Qun.

I've mentioned this before but I expect a similar reception to the one the Europeans got when arriving on the shores of the Americas. Some will be suspicious/cordial others distrustful and others to be blatantly hostile.
