Same issue, opposite tone to Dragon Age 2 actually.

Try to be mean in Andromeda, you’re playfully sarcastic

Try to be nice in Dragon Age 2, you’re still visibly annoyed with whoever you’re speaking to.

I get that it limits roleplay & feels more like prewritten character, the most fair criticism

But I do think it is roughly as enjoyable as Mass Effect (2007) on its own, while still being very different.

Crushed it with companions & characters again.

Agree that it felt forcedly more lighthearted in tone, which is a negative, but I got past it okay bc I wanted to play a nicer guy here

Ok freeman & najar yeah yeah. But gray an easy #3 rn

Idk man. I just don’t see how it’s not very easy to treat such a teammate as a coworker. You don’t have to be friends or gas them up & doing so certainly makes me judge you as a person

The fact that any player going to Marseille would make me think “oh no they’re going to chummy up to MG” is pretty telling of my current expectations of male athletes

lol I’m probably reading too much into this, but it was uhhh ~interesting~ that when he compared Shepherd as great to Ryder as awful he chose a male Commander & female Pathfinder to showcase that point

Lots of fair stuff out there but I made the mistake of watching dunkey’s video on it & yeah that pissed me off about as much as I expected that dork to lol

Time to get over to YouTube to see what everybody’s beef with the game is. I have some hunches

Completely agree with your description! Part of it is since ~2020 possession based ball has become a little milquetoast to me just bc of how prevalent it’s become globally. But #1 factor is still my skill issue of not being able to get over my annoyance of NYC Home games. Can’t wait for 2027

Probably because most seasons, NYCFC rank 25th-30th in my mental list of teams I find interesting. Even when they’ve been good.

I think it’ll improve next year though, these playoffs have really gotten me to like Pascal’s project, & they could be one of my favorites once baseball stadium is gone
