Contrary to unpopular belief, a vast amount of work is put into these games. Coming out of a morally bankrupt source does not disqualify the product in this regard.

>And wanting challenge is wanting something that you find fun
No. A challenge brings a sense of achievement. Fun exists selfishly, for its own sake. It is quickly passed and forgotten. Achievement exists to transcend previous boundaries and improve the achiever, and as such crafts a person, even in a small way.

Childish.

I'm ok with that. The way I see it, there's 2 ways to make non-human characters:
a) make human characters with slightly different skin color, head shape, finger count, etc.
b) make creative aliens: microscopic tentacle monsters, slithering slimy beasts, etc

Humanoid variations are boring and lazy, you might as well have humans. Creative creatures don't fit on a mold that will also work for humans, so they can't be used on a premade RPG campaign.

The difficulty was there, but was obfuscated by the limitations of the medium. As fluidity and "realism" creep closer to the uncanny valley, more traditional "classical" methods of storytelling and narrative (and, logically more traditionally modern, post-modern, etc methods) are necessary to make up for the fact that nobody wants to look at a high-res block and say "this. this is me".

I liked ME3 except for the end, even if I was nowhere near the rage some people felt about it. Inquisition was nice, I sank more than 100h in it and it makes me confident about Andromeda. I'm not saying it will be Goty or anything, I just hope it will be good

We've already experienced a "human" story over three games. Shepard was right at the middle of humanity's rise to power in galactic politics, and your interactions with people from other civilaztion helped shape how they view humanity. We got to see how humans had to adjust as they interected with the other species. This bullshit about Andromeda being a "human" story is bulllshit because we already got three games worth of that, plus a couple of novels. I want to experience what life must be like for a turian, an asari. Hell, let's get weird and make a game about vorcha or hanar. Anything but the same, boring shit. I'm not surprised, but I'm still disappointed.
>>
>>335983820
No. We experienced being humans in the sense of the underdog fighting to earn its place in the cosmic dance, before the eyes of the sometimes unwilling aliens.

Humanity in mass effect was kinda like Meiji Japan winning against Russia in 1905 (Turian empire) and thus winning its place in the concert of nations, even if western societies didn't really like it.

I want to see humanity as Britain or France conquering the world to teach them how much they have to learn from us

honestly nobody at bioware should be writing anything scifi related anymore
scifi allows you to explore decidedly alien environments, characters and settings, but if you chose to ignore than and say you are incapable of writing a relateable non-human character, stick to soap operas

because other, more talented writers, have indeed made a narrative work with decidedly non-human characters

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!
