"but in my opinion this is a very minor issue compared to some other things like actual gameplay fixes, AI, buggs that existed for god knows how long"
This is the only part i want to address here. Agreed that there are faaaaar more important things to touch up. Sounds like they are doing a lot for the gameplay, i hope the bugs are being ironed out and the AI, god they are silly. I would like a improved ai so it fights smarter and uses abilities better. Both allies and enemy. Each difficulty just making enemies have more shields and more damage was kind of easy once you got the hang of it. if they added a new difficulty where the ai was actually smarter that could be a real challenge.
The only game I know that did this though is age of empires, they improved the ai across all difficulties so it plays more like a human and is not as easy to abuse for easy wins, then they added extreme difficulty on top that is like, ridiculously challenging.
I know they won't go that far but just imagining it is fun :')
About people saying they cannot find anything about this on YouTube. I hear YouTube works like an echo chamber so depending on your viewing habits things may or may not appear.
So from my account I've seen so far 6 people with big audiences cover this topic saying that it's wrong for bioware to go around censoring various bits and then tons of comments of people saying they won't be interested in the game because of this. Two of which were ladies who said they were perfectly fine with how ME trilogy was (butts & all). From what I gather it seems like there IS an awful lot of outcry against these kinds of changes. Also to remind everyone it's not just about the butt and being butt hurt etc, there are more changes than this and we don't know where the line is drawn. Please bioware don't take a beloved series and cut off various bits because of "Reasons". Enchantments (sorry that was supposed to be enhancements) and additions are always welcome.
And yes I am totally butt hurt over this whole matter 😉

From what I've seen of the improved clips, it's like an adult going back to a teenage project and freshening it up a little, while softening a small number of the more embarrassing decisions.
The best way to judge the project is by playing it again as a whole (which i'll be doing)
Much of the 'concern' I've seen seems to be pretty thin.
Inb4 concerns that 42 seconds of elevator travel has been 'censored'. 😉

The elevators were my favourite bit :') could go cook breakfast, pour a cup of tea and go to the gents while the elevator was moving because future buildings are super tall of course!! But no i loved the crew interactions in the elevators. One of the reasons I loved andromeda was because those conversations between squadmates moved into the world.
and @Sky2k5 that makes sense xD I normally avoid those conspiracy theory videos so i guess ill have to search harder to break into the censorship echo :O
- 5 years ago@GrimReaperTaken Thats great! But I don't watch conspiracy theory videos 😉

HA i learned how to quote /flex
Anyway how can the "concern" be thin like i said b4 EA starts with something minor like this and voila ME4 or 5 no romance no "steamy scenes" it could happen this is a slippery slope if we allow it now no one know where it will end which i said already oh so many times no one was really concerned about lootboxes in the beginning either or DLC's and what happened there?
i remember when you got whole "new" games as an expansion WC3 frozen throne etc now you get tiny chunks that you end up paying more for then 2 -3 expansions Sims is a perfect example of this game on sale 9.99 but here is 200 worth of DLC at full price!
like i also said i dont care about her butt yes it was a good butt, but thats not why i love Mass effect i am simply afraid where EA will take this in the future- SofaJockeyUK5 years agoHero+

I see no sign of editorial decisions being made at a publisher corporate level, nor attempts to 'cater' to anyone. What I do see is a development team at BioWare trying to do what makes sense to them. Anyone who has played BioWare games over many many years knows their style and their passion for inclusivity and that's not going to change, nor would I want it to.
2020 taught us that any game studio from those with awful to wonderful reputations can mess up and pull a winner out of the bag.
Maybe MELE's update will suck, maybe it'll be awesome. I hope the latter.
Proof is in the pudding. Let's judge on the game itself not on a well travelled news quote. 😉
