No childs?
So you know in every ME you can "romance". But i would like to see some ways to get children with other species and then have them as companions to play with. Would be a fun way to make romancing mor...

I don't think that a pregnant/parent romance partner would be kicked out of the game, although they would probably be off your squad for field operations. I really would like to see babies and kids in this game, especially if they can live in my giant family-sized cabin on my ship. 😇🥳
Also, I like the idea of having hybrid races, like Turian-Quarian or Ardat-Yakshi-Human (I so want to date/make Samara's grandbabies!) 😉
No, Shepard and Ryder can do what they do because they have no children.
They can't go on maternity or parental leave exactly. They are unique characters that need to be available and there's just no way that you have to save Prodromos from the Kett Or Roekaar but they have to wait 'cause you have to drop the kids off at school'.
I just don't see that, sorry. If they had to be parents they'd be terrible or very absent parents because of their lifestyle. You can't take your kids with you on death defying missions and they'd be too lonely on the ship anyway without friends and such. So if you leave em at the Nexus you'd be that absent parent that is never home and if your companion is the partner then both parents are never home.
Maybe, just like real life, people should think about what it means for the child to be brought into your life, rather than focusing on how much you want a kid. It's just not fair to the kid really and just plain selfish.
I'm sure some people will get upset over my opinion but I firmly believe it's more important to focus on what sort of life you bring a child into rather than just have babies and hope for the best. In Shepard's and Ryder's case their lives are really not compatible with family life.
The only way I could see children work is in a sequel where they now are the adults keeping their parents legacy alive.
Honestly it wouldn't even have to be children of the main cast in Andromeda 2 or Andromeda DLC...
There's enough choices in game to either directly or indirectly influence when/where/how families show up.
For example, the oldest human child would be that one person you may or may not have saved, and if you did, if you had sent her to Prodromos or the Nexus.
There's also Gil's friend
Honestly it'd be interesting to see how/if they implement it as a lot of games don't put in kids due to the violent natures within the games & potential backlash of showing kids in dangerous situations.

Honestly, ship captains have been successfully raising families on their vessels, even warships, for about as long as women have been allowed on ships, even when going on risky endeavors exploring beyond the edge of the map, where there be dragons (don't be scared off by the Mary Celeste, but it could be an interesting storyline). The same goes for trade caravans and pioneer families (See various pioneer sources, including the Little House on the Prairie book series). 🤓:eahigh_file:
The Pathfinder cabin on the Tempest is perfectly large enough for a family (read some tenement histories, you can have a family if 16 live in that space, and I suspect that Ryder is going to take awhile to be that prolific. Lexi will probably take over part of the medbay for her and Drack's blue baby, and there is space in Liam's man cave for another small family/nursery if Liam gets kicked out of it.🥳
Dude! Whatcha talkin about man? Liam being the bundle of energy that he is would very likely become the space version of Super Nanny... between him and Peebee I'm pretty sure the kids on the ship would be raised to be mega pranksters, especially when uncle Gil gets mixed in on it 🙂

Fine. Super Manny can sleep on his couch not one of the bunks until Ryder twin needs the room for family space, and Vetra will just have to put her kids down for a nap by the guns in the armory, but she's turian, so they probably do that anyway. And do remember that at least some of the time Crazy Uncle Gil will be watching his own kid too!😉

Just because something is in theory possible, doesn't mean it's a good idea. Things like knowingly putting kids in the frontlines of a war and your decision making processes being impaired because of their presence are things that should ring alarm bells, not trigger anecdotal justifications.
How many of these captains were on military ships or knowingly brought their children with them into confilict zones? And if there are any, please tell me how this was a responsible thing to do?
No, far better not to have the entanglement.
As far as Nexus species are concerned, it's even a plot point (Gils questline) why there aren't any, yet... Kett obviously don't have children at all, but the Angara should just didn't see any (devs didn't bother/have time).
Fully expect some pitter-patter in the next game though, it's kinda vital to the whole Initiative.
