I won't stand another Asari-like thing. TBH, that was the most annoying thing in ME lore for me.
I disagree, I found it endearing, a big homage to Star Trek TOS and those kinds of shows. The most of ME is rather corny, and thus to expect Mass Effect to be "SIRIUS" hard sci fi is fooling your expectations. Yes, it does *include* some hard sci fi concepts, and they do try to write them as best as they... can, but at the core it's like a campy star trek tv show where you can date cool green skin alien babes and drink some hardcore beverages with the badass klingonesque races of the galaxy, while you surf with your FTL starship to the latest pirate adventure on some forbidden planet. And I wouldn't want it any other way.
I dropped reading any kind of comments on YT, news websides etc. some time ago. They often limit to insults, flaming and complaining. Reading this trash is just wasting empty space on your hard drive called brain
.
As for humanoids... I get your point clearly. Besides "dating and drinking" there are also gameplay mechanics. Admit, it would rather look awkward to have a Hanar or Elcor squad mate
. Putting some humanism into aliens also makes the interaction between characters easier (Sheploo- Garrus bros). But hey, we're going to another galaxy. And for example, finding another species which will REALLY resemble humans with it's looks would be rather weird. I'm sure however that we will see some ship and squad mates native to the Andromeda galaxy so it may be impossible to go around the things we mentioned above
Doesn't change the fact that I would like to see some "exotic" aliens to play more significant role.
