FINALLY

[@Marshal_Dunnik]

Mass Effect 4 confirmed

[@nautikient2151]

It's coming

[@tiny99990]

Honestly, I am okay with it not including Shepard. I think Shepards arc across the three originals and ending with him dying, with him making the ultimate sacrifice to not only safe the galaxy, but to sacrifice himself to save his team who he came to love and trust as family... Let us jump into another character and run into/work with/recruit Shepard's team... idk thats my opinion, to me bringing Shepard back is a bit of a betrayal to the original three games. He was the hero meant to assemble a group that would eventually save the universe a 3 times and at the end of the third it was he who gave his life to stop the Reapers. To bring him back, I think, removes the impact of that sacrifice and ruins the first trilogy.

[@mediumvillain]

"the level of customization for things like armor is over the top" lmao, developers used to just say anything in these. theres like 5 full suits most of which were DLC/preorder/promotions (and ugly, with no way to remove the helmet), and then like 5 suits divided up into armor sections with some additional helmet choices, its rly pretty limited for an RPG. Its nice to be able to mix and match pieces, but theres certainly not "over the top" armor customization. the gun selection is also extremely limited in ME2 and doesnt even show you stats or anything to compare them, just some descriptive text. Making ME2 so much less of an RPG was a big step backwards honestly and holds it back. Every game in this series is so great in a number of ways but has a couple major flaws holding it back from being the GOAT, and in each of the games the flaws are different. Good thing the story & writing is solid & the characters are so great in all of them. Andromeda would have been seen as a much better game if it had got dialogue & choices right.
