Some our our most notorious tumblr-cows (Vade comes to mind immediately but i'm sure there's others) also love to self-diagnose themselves with autism and then flip a shit if you call them a sperg or anything demeaning related to it. They can self-diagnose themselves and draw weird art and create headcanon around characters they view as autistic (even if they plainly aren't), but if a company actually comes out and says "Yea they're autistic", it's fetishizing their disorder and ableism.

Anyway I'm sure autistic artwork is already in the works for Sara Ryder, but I highly doubt bioware will ever confirm it for the same reasons they were forced to use white people for the default Ryders: EA forced them to conform to at least some of the standards that ensure a game will sell (making the protag a white male/female). Bioware might pander to SJWs where they can but EA is still around to make sure the game is marketable to a broad audience.

Hardboiled eggs? Is that part of some symptom I never heard of?

How is the actual gameplay? It seems like that's the least important thing, I always hear about the animation and story but no one talks about the combat, I gave mass effect credit in alot of the single player was actually pretty tough, for me at least. Most AAA games these days are cake walks.

The combat is great so far for vanguards (as good/possibly better than it was in ME 3) and the enemies even in the first area presented a little challenge. Outside of combat the focus is heavy on exploration and research, so you'll spend some time scanning new lifeforms and architecture and using the jetpack to jump around, which I think is fun but that comes down to personal taste. It's definitely more active than the non-combat gameplay in previous ME games, which was mostly just "run to the next fight or cutscene". In short, the gameplay so far has only gotten better from the last one.
 
So they should have just made a PVP or PVE arena game out of it, sell it for 40 bucks, and it would have sold like hotcakes. All that it needs is there: Combat and pretty backgrounds.

But I guess it is really hard to push the agenda that way.

That really is a shame. The idea had a lot of promise, and the issues the game has were so avoidable it almost seems like Bioware outsourced parts of the developement to Lionhead or something.

They "outsourced" it to SJW divershitty hires with shitty talents. Guess what people, if you hire based on skin colour and feminism not actual talent, your product will be shit! Who would have thought?

I'm not seeing the sjw angle in this game yet. Does that come later in the story or something? So far the only recurring theme is "eccentric billionare's insane idea to send thousands of people on one-way trip to unexplored galaxy exactly as disastrous as everyone should have expected", which is a pretty great concept. My favorite characters so far are all the ones who are like "fuck it, I knew the risks and regret nothing. I get to die in Andromeda while my boring ass friends died in the Milky Way 600 years ago like little bitches".

Read back the thread buds. I know, TL,DR. There is a lot of pandering there, and a lot of info on the developers.

But even if they have had put no agenda in game, hiring people because of how big virtue signallers are instead of how good game makers they are is a bad strategy.

Yeah, honestly, I'm starting to get the distinct impression that he isn't actually playing the same Mass Effect: Andromeda that the rest of us are seeing. Maybe he's in a parallel universe, or maybe they gave him a secret not-shit prototype version that they're experimenting with.
