i love andromeda with my whole heart, and i’m still constantly sad over the way it was treated at launch. i think it’s pretty promising that a lot of recent reviews (like on steam) are all very positive, because i really strongly believe the andromeda cast and universe deserve to have their story continued 

I LOVED Andromeda and it’s so nice to see other people talking about how they loved it too.  I bought it at launch and beat it over that weekend and while there were definite bugs, the story was so interesting and the characters were so awesome that I couldn’t bring myself to even stop playing.

It’s such a great game and it’s sad to see that so many people hate on it so heavily.  It’s by no means as good as the original trilogy, but I knew that going in.

If you have not given Andromeda a chance, definitely do that.  Ryder is so cute and quirky and I love her.  I love the Angara and the story surrounding the Kett was heart wrenching.  It did NOT deserve all the hate it got and I still keep it in my replay rotation of DA and ME hell.

Just gonna add my two cents to this since no one asked. Yes, I loved Andromeda too and I don’t think it deserves the hate that it has/got. After all that news came out about super crunch on the workers, the fact that they realistically put the game we have now together in like, 1 year is insane. There was SO MUCH mismanagement there (and yes that’s a ball drop) that crew worked with the last minute changes and completely remade the game from the original concept. That’s freaking hard. I can tell you from experience, doing that work is not easy and it takes forever.

Given what those poor people went through, they did an awesome job and I am proud of them. So, you’re not alone out there! I loved Andromeda too! *puts soap box away*

the next chapter. 💜✨

Have we yelled about the ship/ ship designation yet??

From the N7 Day blog post this year

And from the trailer today

There was a person on r*ddit talking about (in November) how that matched the Andromeda Intiative designations style (letter-letter-number) for ships but you could probably say that for the Alliance in general I suppose.

throw me some crumbs of dragon age and mass effect and im back on my bullshit.

tarysande:

That’s the N7 armor from ANDROMEDA. Not Shepard’s armor. Plus, we already know Shepard’s helmet’s accounted for (and it didn’t actually have an N7 on it). If you look at the piece Liara picks up, it’s clearly this style of helmet. 

Liara’s obviously older: she has crow’s feet and laugh lines. This is a future game—and by the imagery and the galaxies, it’s going to tie the events of the trilogy and of Andromeda together. If I were writing it, I’d probably work on connections between the Reapers and the mysterious beings mentioned in Andromeda. You know, the ones basically messing around and treating the Andromeda galaxy like Bobby’s Science Fair Project (Creepy Aliens Edition).

Remember, Liara knew about the Andromeda project before it left the Milky Way. And also remember: the Arks had to travel over six hundred years to get to Andromeda, so … to tie the two together, Liara’s going to be crows-feet-and-laugh-lines-older. I’m pretty sure Shepard’s resting in peace by then, no matter what ending you chose unless my horrible headcanon is true and the Lazarus rebuild means they age slower and have to deal with the consequences…

I can make out most of the dialogue. 

Historian-type voice: We know now that in the earliest years of the 20th century this world was being watched–

Roger. Copy. 
Eagle, Houston. You’re GO for landing. Over. (From the Apollo 11 landing)

Woman: Arcturus Station. Unknown vessel approaching. We need first contact protocols. (Presumably First Contact.)

Humanity now stands as a partner in the galaxy. (Presumably upon joining the Citadel races.)

Hackett(?): Ark-6 is away. Godspeed. The quarian Ark (Ark-6) departed later than the other arks because of technical issues (it was carrying several species: quarians, drell, hanar, elcor, batarians, volus). It didn’t make it during the course of the game, though Ryder gets a distress call. Evidently, it was supposed to be DLC; they may have repurposed some of those ideas for this new venture. NO WAIT. Courtesy of @fade-touched-eezo​ The quarians were Ark-5. WHO IS ARK-6???? (unless they counted the nexus as an ark? but?) Was Liara on Ark-6? What? What is happening???

Voices: What’s that–
Oh my g–
–it’s taking down their dreadnought–
–someone help me–
–the engines are going crazy–
Abandon ship!
*Reaper noise* (Probably the Reaper War of ME3)

Woman: Is anyone receiving this? We’ve lost contact… (My guess would be the missing Ark)

Then there’s this extremely muddy section. A woman’s voice says something like “anomaly readings all ” and what sounds like a computerized voice saying “[?] the station” and a male voice definitely saying the word “over” or something’s over. And space noises. Pretty sure this is like, six tracks on top of each other to make it extra confusing. 

So, lots to unpack. But it’s 1:00 AM and time for sleeping.

im really loving seeing all the old ME and DA mutuals crawling out of the woodwork….. nature is Healing

anyone want to help me transcribe everything you can hear in the new ME trailer? I’m not the best with audio separation but I have tried in audacity. 

• “We know now that in the early 20th century this world was being watched”   This is from War of the Worlds
• “Roger copy. Eagle Houston you are go for landing.”   This is the moon landing.
• “Arcturus station, unknown vessel approaching. Do you need first contact protocols?” 
• “Humanity now stands as partners of the galaxy.”
  
• “Arc 6 is away, godspeed.”
  
• “Watch out for our fighter, take down the dreadnought.”
  
• “Abandon ship!”
  
• “Engines are going critical”
  
• *reaper noise*
• “Is anyone receiving this? We’ve lost contact”
• “Do not leave me in this awful place.”
  
• “It is not safe.”
  
• Unknown line (this might be Alec Ryder)
• *Ship noise*

I am missing a SINGLE line, no matter how I mess with it in Audacity I can not separate it, however I believe the line to be “edge of the map – and then discovering what lies beyond” but at the same time I can ‘hear’ the word horizon so I am uncertain. Its at 53seconds in the trailer.

Some very minor additions

• “We know now that in the early years of the 20th century, this world was being watched”  This is from War of the Worlds
• “Roger copy. Eagle Houston you are go for landing, over.”  This is the moon landing.
• “Arcturus station, unknown vessel approaching. Do you need first contact protocols?”
•  “Humanity now stands as partners of the galaxy.”
• “Arc 6 is away, godspeed.”
• “Watch out for our fighter, take down the dreadnought.”
• “Engines are going critical”
  
• “Abandon ship!”
• *Reaper Noise*
• “Is anyone receiving this? We’ve lost contact”
• “Do not leave me in this awful place.”
  
  Running this through Audition the second part almost sounds like “it was all for power” or “I believe it was all for power” or “it was overpowered”. The ‘Pow’ really stands out if it is that.
  
  I can’t get much more on the below ones either, wish I was a audio genius!
  
  
• “It is not safe.”
• Unknown line (this might be Alec Ryder)
• *Ship noise*
