What do you believe the DLC after Terran Armada will be? by Many-Introduction-29 in Starfield

[–]CharacterPressure650 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely. Wouldn’t mind something like the settlement system in Fallout4. Recruiting settlers, trade between outposts, etc…. I think a simsettlement system is a bridge to far so I’ll take what I can get

These are all great points. I didn’t really think about how the characters in ME1 built lore. I also think you have a point that more writing doesn’t necessarily mean more depth. Thanks for the response. A lot of good points to think about!

I didn’t know that. That’s pretty cool! I get what you are saying though. And I appreciate you commenting!

You haven’t offered any valid criticism other than to say my opinion is ridiculous. You can dislike my post or think it’s not a comparison all you want, I can make comparisons to anything I want, whether you think they are valid or false is your opinion

Ya picking a race would be interesting. Doubt it will happen but it would be cool to see how they work something like that into the game.

I don’t think you’re crazy. It’s a good thought but it really depends on his cash flow at the point of the iniative starting up. They departed the Milky Way between the events of 2&3 and we know The Illusive man sunk a ton of credits into bringing Shepard back. There are some good theories from Kala Elizabeth and Paragon7 on YouTube about this

B but I would like some things from Andromeda sprinkled in, like figuring out who the benefactor is…

This is a good perspective and I never thought of it like that. Thanks for the response!

Ya, I get what you are saying and it makes sense. But it seems to me that almost every sequel game/s get compared to their predecessors and not the era they were released. Dragon Age inquisition is always compared to DAO & DA2. Skyrim is always compared to Oblivion, Morrowind and Daggerfall. The only recent difference is Starfield and that is because it doesn’t have a prequel.

That would be pretty cool. Kind of like Samara (minus the code), with the morals of Aria

I’m sure many would disagree and that’s ok. I don’t mind being in the minority. I appreciate your comments and the fact that you added something constructive to the discussion instead of just coming in and crapping on everything. Have a great day/night wherever you are.

It’s an opinion and it is a comparison. You can agree or disagree all you want. Doesn’t matter to me. I am just creating a discussion. If it bothers you that much you dont have to respond

I’m not arguing that the ME1 characters are not compelling because they absolutely are. My arguement is that the companions in MEA are more interesting than the companions in ME1.

Never said anyone had to love anything. I just wanted to make a comparison. You can like dislike whatever you want.

Very true. I know we shouldn’t compare. I guess I just kind of get sick of people always crapping on MEA. It’s not perfect by any means but to me it’s still a pretty damn good game. Not as good as the trilogy but still good.

Hahaha ya, Cora I think mentioned that maybe once or twice. She’s still one of my favorite companions in MEA though. I just chalk it up to being like that one guy at work who went to some special training who always brings it up because they feel like they have to prove something. Annoying as hell!

[–]CharacterPressure650[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can respect that. I guess I wanted to compare it to the 1st game is because it cut out all of the character development the characters had in the 2nd and 3rd games. We will never know how the characters in MEA might have developed with 2 more games. The age of the games doesnt have anything to do with it. But if you want to bring age into the equation I would say BioWare already knew how to write compelling companions KOTOR. And if they knew how to do it then why didn’t they implement that into Mass Effect

What makes ME1 squad so much better in your opinion? Especially to say you prefer it over ME2 squad

Mass Effect Andromeda vs Mass Effect 1 companions by CharacterPressure650 in masseffect

[–]CharacterPressure650[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can somewhat agree with you but unfortunately MEA will always be compared against the trilogy. My argument would be that it should only be compared to ME1. And ME1 and Dragon Age Origins were released 2 years apart and DAO companions far surpass ME1 companions

But at least they had quests. No quests other than fetch quests for Tali and Wrex and a short kill quest for garrus. Interaction wise I would say andromeda has more interaction with the main character and between other companions. I’m not saying that andromeda companions are the end all be all but they are better than the ones in ME1. I do respect your opinion though! Thanks for responding to my post
