Oh boy. So I'm moving on with my Andromeda playthrough and... what the hell is with the angara design? I like the male angara design, on the left. It sort of reminds me of what you'd get if you crossed a teddy bear with an octopus. But the female angara is deeply weird and offputting. Like the modelers tried to make her human-esque and hot but also look like a male angara, so what you get is this weird uncanny valley barbie botox face on an alien body featuring a tiny plastic surgery weirdly human nose. Oh my god. It's been four games. You should be able to do better than this! Let female aliens look weird and inhuman for fuck's sake.

On the plus side, they're not shooting at us, so there's that.

At least Aya is pretty. And Voeld is... interesting. Fun to drive around but a bit one-note aesthetically thus far. Very very very cold. Terraforming it with Remnant tech is going to do awful things to the ecosystem. Can we put in applications for a few hundred alien immigrants to Aya instead once we deal with this kett thing? Aya is nice, and we're probably not going to drive a whole bunch of alien woolly mammoths or whatever to extinction by moving there.
