Mass Effect: Andromeda Trailer Breakdown: Everything We Know So Far
9. The Characters
In Mass Effect: Andromeda, we'll be taking on the role of Ryder - a human on board the Ark Hyperion with their dad, as well as brother or sister. As with the original trilogy, you can select a male or female character and customize their appearance as you see fit. The difference this time around being that instead of going unused, the Ryder you didn't select to play as joins you as a companion.
As I just mentioned, your dad's on board. Alec Ryder, seen in the Mass Effect: Andromeda promotional material, and Mr. Krabs himself, is the pathfinder for the Hyperion at the start of the game, during the course of which, our player character will take over duties from. He's also wearing the iconic N7 armour, which makes him a badass automatically.
Jien Garson has also been featured in trailers and promotional material, and we know she's on board The Nexus, but not many other details are known about her at this point.
