In Mass Effect 3 the first time Vega calls Shepherd "Lola" you get a "Cut that shit out" dialogue option which fixes 75% of his bullshit.

I was gonna say, I don't remember him being a creep to my FemShep… tbh, the only memory I have of him is asking you to sponsor him for N7, or something?

They're all variations on Carth from KOTOR.

100% this. When Kaiden turned up in Mass Effect with Raphael Sbarge's voice coming out of his mouth, I knew he was going to be a drag. I nuke him every time.

The Arks set off some time between Mass Effects 2 & 3, and arrive in Andromeda 600-ish years later. There are some emails and notes you can find about the place that explain that, though they weren't common knowledge, the Initiative's founders heard the Reapers were coming, and decided to get the eff out of the way before they turned up.

I've found it a bit twitchy, tbh, but I don't really remember how it compares to the others.

Everyone instantly understanding each other and having comprehensible cultural practices, too!

In the Milky Way, they at least had the Prothean directed-development angle to explain why everyone was similar, but Andromeda could have been really different.

They could've gotten so weird with it.

Cowards.
