Yeah, when you compare Saren vs Illusive Man when it comes to breaking their indoctrination, the difference is jarring. But it was growing pains in the series, more or less. ME1, getting enough Paragon or Renegade points made big dialogue options appear out of nowhere. ME2 and especially ME3, a lot more emphasis was put into cause-and-effect decision making, with Paragon/Renegade just helping to push certain outcomes along.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

This briefing brings couple of interesting points:

1. SAM was developed by Ellen Ryder, it is an AI. AI is illegal in council space. Cerberus ties? Blackops research? Terminus Systems? If you remember from ME3, Javik told how similar AI's took over their hosts bodies and rebelled (Zha and Zha'til), so I wonder...
2. Cora is the second in command and the designated successor for being the pathfinder in case something happens to papa Ryder. Why is one of the twins becomes the pathfinder?
3. Cora's last name is Harper. Like Jack Harper aka Illusive Man. Also it has to be mantioned that the IM's girlfriend and later the bot EDI took over both named Eva Core. Coinedence?

Besides, Why in the actual fuck Cora has the Miley Cyrus haircut?

Well I assume this is quite a bit in the future from ME3, not that unlikely the laws regarding AI development changed with the times. And as for #2, we'll see when the game comes out, won't we?

We know that the launch takes places during the trilogy, so no the laws stays the same

Usually trailers tend to go overboard in trying to create some kind of excitement and tension, but this one definitely wasn't one of them. At this point they look a pretty generic bunch of human NPCs.

I'm fairly sure there's more than that to it, but I can't grasp it from the trailer. You can surely speculate with the name refrences and all that, but that's pretty vague to be the 'meat' of the trailer.

I prefer the trailers with less overblown hype, too much hype can hurt a game so much :/ I'm also pretty excited for things like moments of first contact with Andromeda races, or a plot that (hopefully) isn't "save the galaxy from an ancient threat" all over again.

Yeah. I much prefer the more subtle approach in general, but I'm a bit puzzled on where they were going with this particular one.

Pretty much my feelings too, the way those characters look make me expect that they would be manning random stations at the ship and have maybe one line of dialog they repeat through the game.

Hopefully most of them end up dying fast due to story reasons and get replaced by interesting alien crew.

In general the human characters have been less interesting in ME usually. I'm not sure if aliens allow them to go into a bit weirder directions with writing, but most humans are on the more bland end of the cast. Also, I guess less facial expressions and all that can help in hiding the fact that they're still just puppets in a computer game.

That's no excuse for writing plain dull stuff though. For example half of the Kaidan's comments in early ME 1 are something like "Whoa! Big place!" or "Nice and quiet here! I like it!". Never taken him around much in later game, so I'm not sure if there's something more insightful later on.

If you're talking about the random comments that are passed on when you click on your teammates, then no there's nothing meaningful to be had from Kaiden. All of those interactions suck no matter the companion though, at best Wrex makes some fart joke, Liara talks about sand and her vagina.

As for the new companions in ME:A they really do look bland. Even the new enemy just looks like collectors v.2 in terms of aesthetics.

Bioware has a really big opportunity to shake up things in the ME universe. The only really interesting aliens have been elcor, volus and the flying spaghettis--but you never really explored their cultures directly(codex and random dialogues are whatever).

It would be disappointing to find just more humanoid aliens in an entirely new galaxy. (unless they have boobs, this is ME after all)

Replaying through ME1 and 2 and I am getting hyped for this game. Though I probably won't be able to afford it until it goes on some big sale in the future

I enjoyed the first Mass Effect. After watching the last 3 videos in this thread I have to say this game just looks lackluster. Boring generic team of elites on their cool ship doing whatever. I just feel no connection or desire to play with that team on the tempest ship? Does this game do anything new for the genre? I think they have a lot of potential to do almost anything with unexplored lore and mysteries they could create in this universe but then they just put some bad guy that reminds me of saren named archon? seriously that's the best they could do. I've been itching for an rpg but this one feels like a waste of money/time. I'm not sure Bioware has put out a good game since Dragon age origins or ME1.

I can understand that people don't like ME2 & 3, but to say they aren't at the very least good games just boggles my mind.

Depends on how you define 'games'. Gameplay is very weak.

I also share the sentiment that ME:A has a lot of potential, but if it turns out that it's another 'Chosen One vs the Big Bad Evil' type of story It'll be disappointing(what we've been shown so far definitely resembles that type of a plot).
New galaxy, actual aliens(not just reskinned humans) and the exploration of all the themes that come with colonization of new planets could be interesting, but then again I doubt Bioware would delve into that.

The deal here is that there is so much unknown, the marketing has been extremely quiet: few trailers and a bunch of briefing videos that represent the "initial condition" of the story and there are interesting tidbits if you look carefully. It is a cat in the bag, there are things going for and against this game. I say we wait and see what happens.

There should be a 15 minutes gameplay video coming this month, so it will give some indication of what the game actually looks like.

The game does not become worse, if you wait 1 month after release... or a year.

Just chill out and wait till you get a bunch of complete playerfeedback. Then decide if you want it know or wait for the DLCs to show the true game quality.

This. Compared to ME2 and 3 the marketing, trailers etc. is very limited, and mostly shows us the "manifest destiny" of the Andromeda Initiative. This makes me curious about the actual plot direction, and also indicates that the devs want this game to be seen as separate from the original trilogy - Andromeda gives off an entirely different feel than previous games (based on the trailers), at least for me. And it isn't a bad thing at all.

It feels like the release trailer needs to deliver big time. Otherwise they have to hope that people haven't had enough of Mass Effect with the trilogy being finished.

The name itself will bring alot of interest in the game. Despite the lack of promotional material many sites rank ME:A as one of the top if not the top anticipated game of the 2017. Bioware are a bit gambling here by staying that quiet and hoping the name would carry the sales, but after the ME3 ending fiasco and the lukewarm player reception of Inquisition, I can understand them. I don't agree, but I understand.
