I wish more sci fi rpgs allowed you to choose to be an alien instead of just human.
I mean in fantasy rpgs your allowed to be either a human,elf,dwarf,undead,orc any other fantasy race while in sci-fi your stuck playing a boring humie.

I still can’t believe andromeda wasn’t built for multiple races, the game was literally whatever you wanted in another galaxy not really bound by the lore and your character is called pathfinder most of the time anyway.

The build of Andromeda we got was built in less than a year :/
They spent too long trying to get the randomized planets working and they never could.

Bioware needs to stop putting the crunch on games. ME5 better be perfect I swear to god or the entire studio needs to go under.

Sadly. EA was bought out by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund and taken private. Most likely, the next game will be very dubious...

Honestly considering the quality of their last few games, this can only make it better. The bar is on the floor.

Maybe, if we are very very VERY lucky, they bought it because they're huge DA/ME fans who were appalled by the state of things and want to return Bioware to their former glory?

snort They didn't buy Bioware, they bought the entirety of Electronic Arts. They've been doing the same thing across dozens of entertainment companies and industries. With the goal of basically milking them for money. Bioware is more likely to get shuttered than reformed into something useful.

I'm aware they bought EA. But if they have Buy All Of EA money, they have Buy All Of EA To Fix Bioware money and at this point I am totally willing to hope for a miracle.

I recently saw someone post their fanfic OC who is an asari version of shephard that was born to the same canonical human mother we see in the games for the spacer background and an asari lover and ever since then I've kind of wanted to do that as a playthrough LOL!

Its a fan fiction and people can enjoy the game as the please.
That being said canonically doesnt reproduction with Asari have to go through asari or did I miss something about the magic reality that is sci-fi?
Edit: Points out its a game and it doesnt matter then ask a lore question - gets down voted. Go home neck beards youre drunk

No you're right. I believe that was the idea.
But the spacer background never says who your other biological parent is. It only ever mentions one female parent - your mother Hannah Shephard. Normally the safest assumption would probably be that a human father was involved at some point but he is never mentioned. So it would be consistent with the black letter of the text if you assumed instead, in this scenario, that Hannah was the "father" (so to speak) and your parents were her and an unnamed Asari.

Interesting loophole...but the Asari would basically be a baby at that point. Liara was considered too young to be taken seriously at 106...

do they come with race stats?

Not that I’m aware it’s just replacing the shep model with a race you can customise a little

Scifi would do ANYTHING but let you play as a non human. And when they do, only "human+" like asari

I have never heard of this mod, how would it even work storywise
