Hehe, Divergent. Yeah, I have to say that the 100 is a better series in that respect also with younger characters, although it mixes in older generations quite well as well.
I do wonder about this younger crowd thing though. Over the years you hear things like the average age of gamers going up while game makers seem to be looking at the younger generations more. Maybe they're having a hard time striking a balance there. I can't expect a game maker to just keep upping the age either but I do suppose that with such serious topics as ME games treat, a little bit of seriousness makes sense.
Ryder for me is on the border and it's still alright, but the general tone is light and it makes it feel like there isn't really anything really bad going on. The Reapers felt like a threat, the Kett...well even the name doesn't sound ominous. Let's market them with some Heinz Tomato Kettsup or something.
I do see Liam as an attempt to appeal to the younger millenials though. Maybe it works for them. I dunno. I just hope that ME:A and what comes after is allowed to grow up just a little and that on a shorter notice we are allowed to make good looking characters again.

As long as the endings aren't:
A) I defeat the Benefactor in a Krogan style slapfight and merge with SAM to control the Kett through Remnant tech. (blue)
B) I arrange for 100,000 vaccines to be distributed to prevent TH-314/AEND but subcontract production out to the lowest bidder - the Cardinal. (green)
C) I defeat the Kett by arranging for one final suicidal shuttle crash with the explosion filmed over my shoulder. (red)
