The will however not be fixing 's reputation for making quality games, the wasted potential of setting the game in a new galaxy and it definitely won't be fixing Andromeda's mixed reviews.

  • More options and variety in the character creator
  • Improvements to hair and general appearance for characters
  • Ongoing improvements to cinematic scenes and animations
  • Improvements to male romance options for Scott Ryder

A lot of users roaming reddit are relieved, but others are still holding on to their grudge regarding Andromedas snu-snu options.

Also, Telxvi noticed there is an "accolades trailer" for Andromeda up on EA's German YouTube channel (embedded above), while one is strangely missing from the company's English language channels. Did the German gaming press absolutely adore the game and no one noticed? Did Telxvi just fail spectacularly at finding the corresponding trailer in English?

Let us know in the comments if there is more to this than meets the eye.
