I’m not sure how much I want to invest hope in this one. Everything I’ve heard so far sounds amazing, but I’m one of those who’s still having trouble letting go of the ending to ME 3 (yes, yes, I know; I should just get the fuck over it, but that kind of narrative “FUCK YOU” from the writers is hard to forget).



...that, and frankly, DA: I felt like it was about 80% filler, and 20% “wow, wouldn’t it have been fucking awesome if the rest of the game was like this?!”



Also, it had Bull going for it, so there’s that.



I guess what I’m getting at is that BioWare’s going to have prove itself all over again to me with Andromeda. Any return to Mass Effect will be like trying to reconcile with an ex after an acrimonious breakup—lots of, “God, wasn’t it awesome when—” followed by trying not to hold, “but there was that time you totally flaked the fuck out” against them.



...still gonna hook up, though. Just not day one. I WILL BE STRONG!



Edit: Also, if that “very forward Asari” is anything at all like Liara, I will rather enjoy rebuffing her advances, over and over again.



...if she’s more like Samarra, though, we may be able to chat.
