My name is Commander Shepard and this is my favorite Mass Effect community on the citadel.

Rules

  1. Be nice! We're all here for our love of Mass Effect. This is a welcoming community for all stripes, let's just remember there's people on the other side of the screen and act accordingly.
  2. Memes are great - seriously, I need more Mass Effect sh!tposting in my life.
  3. If you're here, you gotta post. Thems the breaks, kid.

The studio's acting like it's on a victory lap, when it should still be on its apology tour.

We spent the original trilogy being told AI is bad. However the Andromeda tried to make the argument that you AI isn’t dangerous, we just have to approach a different way.

When in Andromeda, they were explaining why their approach to AI wouldn’t cause an uprising, I went, “Wait, but you’re doing the exact same thing Javik told us about, with the Zha and the Zha’til. They created AI to augment themselves, and the AI ended up basically completely taking them over physically.”

I totally forget about that from Mass Effect 3. I think that what would be a very interesting theme to explore. Everyone left for Andromeda for a "fresh start", only not to be able to escape the cycle of synthetics vs organics that was very pronounced in the original trilogy, can such a cycle be broken?

It would raise some interesting philosophical questions for the player to confront.
