Remember that the Reapers created the Citadel and the mass relays to jump start the technology forward, so for 50k year old civilization the Milky Way races are quite advanced with FTL travel. I suspect that if we judge it by human morality we should expect a totalitarian alien race like the Prothean in Andromeda if they achieved FTL. If not, there should be at best one or two dominating races per system, which are pretty much low tech savages in term of Milky Way technological advance. If they are advanced and there are no Reaper style adversary to kill them, they probably will be extremely advance and probably achieved technological singularity.

I think primitive races will be seen like Varren or Space Cows. Not sapient.

 

I think the sapient races will be just as advanced as us, if not more so. If it is indeed true that the Reapers stuck to just the Milky Way, that means the Andromedan races were free from the same limitations. A civilisation wouldn't have been wiped from the face of history after 50,000 years. Instead, that civilisation would continue ever onwards.

 

Personally, I would prefer it if Andromedans have better tech than us. I want to feel like any conflicts we engage in could spell devesation for our side, regardless if we win the fight or not. After all, we are not going over there to conquer. We are not going over there to start wars with people we don't know. I'd like to think that if we choose to start fights, we should feel their full wrath brought down on us as if Thor himself were beating down on us with his hammer.

I think it would be hilarious if the whole area of Andromeda we are squabbling with primitive natives over is just the cosmic equivalent of the boonies, and that outside of the Hellius cluster are alien civilizations that make the Reapers and their tech look like tinker toys.

 

May be how they set up further games in the series. The Andromedan colonosts establish themselves fully at the end of the first game (because of course they will) then a few years later, maybe we learn the Remnants are a wee bit more alive than previously thought.

Which isn't going to happen. sure there may be people with there own ideas but colonising a few planets in a galaxy is a lot different from colonialism from back in the day. We're not going to be the people from Avatar. We're not conquering anyone. Just exploring and settling uncharted worlds. But I'm not sure. Maybe we.will take primitive resources and be just like the dudes from Avatar. We'll see. In terms of advanced races, no conquering, we don't have the firepower or fleets probably. Primitive races, well we may have to make some tough choices. It's 50/50 with me. I don't want to conquer anyone but we have to do what we have to do to survive.

 

I remember hearing something in one of the leaks about how some of the native species may or may not be hostile depending on your choices.

 

If true, the hostile ones have no use for their stuff.

 

Cause they'll be dead.

Why do you assume that 1) Andromedra is unordered AND 2) that we won't encounter both types of civilizations?!

If the only planet in the Helius cluster with element zero on it is home to a primitive but intelligent species that doesn't want you mining, it will be almost exactly like Avatar. It will be up to the writers to decide how plentiful to make things and whether or not to force the players to make decisions around this. Despite the huge number of planets, to find one which is the absolute most optimal for you to set up a city on is still difficult. And the chances are it will almost certainly have some form of animal life on it which you will be interfering with.

 

It is unlikely our numbers will be great enough to go with a full on colonialism theme, a single planet would have enough space and resources for everyone from the milky way who goes. They may have different needs of course ie Turians and Quarians would want a different planet and Volus would want a different one again.

 

I think it will be interesting whether we can choose the planet for our first base, or whether one will be presented to us as the best and only choice like Skyhold in DAI.

Remember, the great filter in the ME universe is synthetic life, which destroys it's creators after a certain point and in return is destroyed by the combined efforts of the other races of the galaxy.
 
The reapers are the trend breaker, in that they were too powerful for the rest of the galaxy to beat.

That refers to one known instance. Other than that the other thing is the Reaper's last minute claims. But even that has never been established. There is no proof of that whatsoever; just the words of a reaper program in a sticky situation. In fact, the present day and known history demonstrates otherwise. The Geth did not destroy their creators and they could have. EDI held no ill will toward the Normandy crew. The Zha'til hybridized themselves with synthetics (synthesis) and the Reapers still f'd them over like any other people. The Protheans were running the galaxy and banned the development of synthetic life after wining the Metacon Wars, but the Reapers still destroyed them. So the idea of inevitable organic destruction is a falsehood from a historical perspective.

It would be interesting fighting less technologically advanced alien races who use spears, swords, and even primitive "firearms."

If, by interesting, you mean a boring slaughter...then yes
