no, i don't want to kiss you

update: I have a ship! It' s a very beautiful ship. This is a gorgeous game in general. I'm still not over my Sara's face. She's beautiful. I'm so happy.

I also have crew members, of which I seem to be able to flirt with... literally everyone except the salarian? In the first conversation on the ship? Honestly, that kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I know Bioware's got a whole thing going with player agency and love interests but like, I don't know these people? We just met and I don't even know why you're in this galaxy let alone if I want to kiss you. Despite Andromeda having been out for over a year, it was so unpopular I'm basically going into this spoiler-free except for the vague understanding that angara exist.

It feels too much like lining all the potential major characters up and being like "alright, prelude done, now which one do you want to bone". And I'm just like - this is very sudden? You are asking me to make a fairly major decision on not a lot of data? Can we do this another time when I know who the hell you are?

Anyway, next time: Eos!
