Thank you 😃
Even before I played Andromeda, was watching some youtube vids on the game by people who got invited to play it before the trial period... Basically there are 2 things that I compare with the ME trilogy. The main protagonist, so ryder vs shep and since they are both AI, SAM vs EDI. Even before playing the game, personality wise, I find SAM so boring whilst EDI with her corny little jokes and her growth has so much more personality. After playing the game, I would now say that the writing in this game is nothing compared to the original trilogy, whilst EDI has some really clever lines written for her, SAM simply doesnt. Voice acting, Shepard and Tranor mentioned a few times about EDI's voice and I totally agree... With a voice like that getting unshackled is only a matter of time. SAM is just flat and dull.

Conceptually SAM takes away from the protagonist. WIthout SAM ryder would suck as a pathfinder. He's the one thing that could kill Ryder anytime anywhere. If this story progresses the way Zha and Zha'til did during the time of the protheans, SAM might eventually take over Ryder and all the rest of the SAM implanted crew. That would be fun... Maybe then Shepard will visit andromeda and go against the SAM led armies, if that happens(very unlikely unless there's a change in bioware management) then that's where Mass Effect Andromeda truly starts for me...
while i do find sam really annoying at this point, i don't aggressively hate him, though i do wish i could just hit the mute command every so often... assuming sam doesn't use the kill command in retaliation.
