The original Mass Effect trilogy is epic, there’s no doubt about it, and I mean that in the ‘proper’ sense, not just the more common usage. It’s a story about stopping an apocalypse, about more-or-less ordinary people stepping up to become legends, about the survival not just of humanity, or the turians, or the krogan, but sentient life as a whole. Species live or die by your word. It’s about someone becoming the most important individual in recorded history. Andromeda has many similar beats, of course. The kett have some disturbing similarities with the reapers, when you think about it (ultimately, both of them are trying to turn other races into them, if for very different reasons), and Ryder does become something of a Heleus wide legend. But the epic scope isn’t quite there - where’s the Virmire moment? The Rachni moment? There are moments where you seem to shape the world around you - Collective or Outlaws, Morda or Strux - but for the most part your actions don’t really change the narrative. Some have painted that as a flaw, but I think that’s only true if you assume Bioware are trying to do the same thing, which I’m not sure they are. Consider the differences between Shepard and Ryder. With Shepard, the character development is all on you and how you roleplay them. If you decide that you’re going to play an out and out Paragon, then other than the nightmares in ME3 you’ll fundamentally be the same person at the end of the trilogy that you were at the start. Ryder, not so much. However you decide to play, they go from someone who can barely hold people’s attention long enough for a team meeting to someone who can summon numerous factions across seven species for the sole purpose of kicking one individual ass. Look at the decisions. You don’t get to decide whether a species lives, you get to choose which criminal faction takes control of one port. Wow, big stakes, the crowd cries sarcastically. Maybe not, but again, it’s not about the world, it’s about Ryder. Are you the kind of person who goes for known quantity, the woman who seems to be more ‘evil’ but is at least upfront about it, or do you go for the apparently well-meaning manipulator, who is much more pleasant and may be better for the port in the long run, but equally may not be trustworthy at all?Krogan or salarian? Are you the person who helps out a friend, or do you think more about the needs of the many? Blow up the facility or save the prisoners? Again, mercy or greater good. Do you go for science or military outposts?There’s an obvious point to be made that we have no way of knowing how these decisions will pay off in future installments, if they do, but I’d argue that it doesn’t really matter.Mass Effect was the story of a hero saving the galaxy. Andromeda is the story of someone becoming a hero. It’s a big difference, but no less awesome for that. I have some issues with some of the decisions Bioware made in the story and writing, some of the missed opportunities, but I think they deserve some credit for trying to take the franchise in a bit of a different direction.
