Sick. One of my favorite parts of Mass Effect 1 and Dragon Age Origins was reading the codex for the world building. Especially Mass Effect, it was really impressive. I prefer settings made by people smarter than me, settings I could never come up with myself (and I'm an avid GM for various tabletop rpgs). Hiring a sci-fi writer is a huge green flag. It's rare for games lately to feel like they were made by people smarter than me. Also, positive and hopeful nuhre is unsettling and unnatural.
@@EcardEcardian Yup. Pathfinder, Baldur's Gate 3, Final Fantasy 16. All of them pale in comparison to the world building of Origins and Mass Effect 1 to this day. Fuck I miss old Bioware. It's like an oooold healed up wound is aching again thinking of what we lost.
now we need a gaming studio that makes the next dark dark very dark fantasy like dragon age baldur's gate 3 was nice but there was something special about dragon age
8:00 - "People forget that it [your story and your world] actually have to make sense." Don't tell J.J. Abrams that. Or anyone else working as a "writer" in Hollywood for the last 20 years.
The more I learn about this game the more excided I get. I was invested in that cinematic trailer.. so now hearing from the co-founders I'm interested.
I’m so glad I found your channel cause I never heard of this game. I’m not a huge sci fi fan but with their enthusiasm plus credentials (like the dude who worked on Origins) I definitely want this game to be good and want to play it
Hell has frozen over ladies and gentlemen. They actually appear to be passionate about their game and not just care about making money. Who knew devs could even do that anymore?
I'm kind of hopeful for this game. I believe there are romances, but there are also really full on repercussions that could mess with the romances in really gut wrenching ways (like there *should* have been in SWTOR and the last couple of DA games!). Matthew M aside, it's basically a team made up of top tier sci-fi writers and the Mass Effect 'old guard'. You can see how excited they are in every interview. They clearly love thier game, and they're showing us as they finish each stage rather than telling us as if we're 5 year olds. The current production roadmap and PR reminds me of a less exuberant version of the BG3 roadmap and PR. They're being really communicative and transparent but not telling us EVERY SINGLE plot point! They're making it fun to wait for the game to come out! They're drip feeding SO MUCH lore, but not spoiling anything about the game, and I LOVE IT!! Definitely worth joining their mailing list. It's awesome :D Fingers crossed it really IS the "spiritual successor" of Mass Effect. We need fresh ideas from competent devs.
I'm so excited about that look in their eye they have when they talk about it. They care. It's their baby. The entire game is such a cool concept and I'm really looking forward to seeing them bring it to life. Can't wait for them to reveal the other companions. I wonder what other "terrestrial" races look in Exodus.
@@nuhre I haven't seen these levels of glee in a group of Dev's since Larian was preparing for BG3 launch. It's a fucking joy to watch them talk about their game.
When I first saw the cinematic trailer, I was a bit skeptical. But they're former Bioware, from the good old days. So now I'm cautiously optimistic. Unfortunately, since they're a division of Wizards of the Coast, there's still a chance it will end up spoiled by "a certain group of people". I read Peter F Hamilton's "Night's dawn" trilogy. It's pretty good space opera. with some unique concepts. If Exodus is anything like that, don't expect grimdark-level stuff, like W40K. It's still pretty bleak, but not to that level. To get a feel, I recommend checking out the first novel in the series, "The reality dysfunction".
No one does grimdark like W40K. But I'm still excited about them tackling darker concepts. The short stories in their website touch a bit on the rich abusing their influence, about people being forced to harvest organs from people on the arks to stay alive, mortality and the inevitability of time. And I'm pumped about it.
Apparently they are only partially funded by WOTC, and they were really careful to get it built into the contract that WOTC keep their stinky hands off the product and marketing. Fingers crossed.
Loved your reaction, and yes Chad said it best with we have a fun game. I'm definitely pumped because of James being at the helm. Also if I'm not mistaken I believe it was James who had saved Origins from development hell back in the day because I don't think he was the original lead on the game I believe it was one of the doctors and when EA purchased Bioware he left and James then took over as lead on Origins. Exodus is also James dream game, because its inspired by a story he wrote for a school assignment as a kid when he had first learned about time dilation and the theory of relativity.
It's nice to see something that has a good vibe to it. It's refreshing after the bad vibes of recent rubbish and it confirms one isn't simply a cynical and jaded hater. I'm not especially enamoured with 'space', whether as a fictional setting or in real life, largely because it's too open to cretins to invent any old rubbish absent any real world concern and limit. eg any civ that can achieve interstellar travel is going to be free of resource constraints and very few people properly grasp the implications of that, preferring instead to resurrect human history, eg colonisation, slavery, whatever. And I just can't buy into any of that. But this looks good. It certainly has potential. ETA - when I see a title that I am interested in I try to completely avoid knowing anything more about it. Avoid all the info, especially the hype. Shut it off and wait, then get to it completely blind. It's tricky if you're permanently online but worth it. I managed to avoid anything about Death Stranding after hearing a little about it and deciding I was drawn to it - then everything was new to me when I bought it.
I'm excited about the prospect of a good game. There's another one I have my eye on, The Forever Winter, that I know for a fact is not made for me, but it's such a breath of fresh air in this stagnant cesspool that is the videogame industry that I want to support it even if I know it's not my type of game.
@@nuhre 'stagnant cesspool' lol The Forever Winter is releasing in Steam Early Access on September 24th. I've never heard of it. I'll wait for your thoughts.
I hope bruv would be a schizo AI assistant that tries to help you and hurt you at once, but you learn about the schizo part of him slowly. It would not only go with the usage of AI in the future but with themes of AI mental illnesses.
@@nuhre Thank you 🙇♂ Got back from home from errands & wiuh how knackered. I had to jog quite a distance because forgot groceries bag to store under the other end of cas register 😬 I actually first thought that it stayed into other store that's in same building so i went there to ask. Lots of extra walk & that lil bit of jogging because of too many things rolling in 🧠 😐 Soon to finish this from 3:30 & i share the video because it deserves to be seen. First ginger tea that helps to wind-down from all 🧘♂
@@nuhre I wish that was entirely true, But there are small signs of interference that can one day sprout to larger problems. What i hope is that 1. the developers are not woke and 2. that the game is so successful it gives arketype F-U money so they won't have to cater to anyone but the fans. So far i read 1/4 of the book and I had seen maybe 1.5 incidents of woke influence that did not matter in the larger story. For today that is damn low, so again i am crossing my fingers this game would get past the woke plague and we can get something to enjoy for years to come.
kinda obsessed with the mech girl?????? Also the style is so realistic but with a touch of stylization, If they make the foundation good I think they have a hit, hope they make a larian move and do an early acess to help with funds and new mechanics
And it seems the other companions are really going to be unique looking. I think so too, if they play their cards well, they could be on the brink of something great.
Not even 30 seconds in and the rep already mentioned diversity twice. Don't get me wrong. There is nothing inherently bad with diversity, but it has been a trend the last decade to aggressively push a political view at the expense of product quality.
@rorylol diversity can be done right as long as it's not made front and centre of the story. E.g. Space Marine 2 you have an Asian and Black guy with you, plus the first imperial shown is a women character but it's not overly bloated or in your face. The characters were actual characters and not just there to make zoomer jokes and tell you how diversity is good and you're racist if you don't like them.
@@Mardark-e4s You are 90% correct. The quirky, awkward, comic relief, marvel humor belongs to funkopop collecting millennials. Otherwise you are spot on.
Yeah, hopefully they mean diverse in the good way, but these days when I hear diverse or inclusive I get Vietnam style flashbacks to "we want the call of duty audience ". That worked out so well for dragonage 2. :
Let's just hope it doesn't get woke like Stormgate did with crappy game mechanics and ugly bitchy characters that ruined all the hype. P.S. not gonna lie the fact that he said diverse cast and inclusive companion gives be bad vibes, remember he didnt say there were any aliens apart from the Celestials and creatures (i.e. mobs and talking pig etc.), pray that evolved humans are not transgender or wolf furrys... P.S.S. Dont be on Copium, stay vigilant, I know we are all starving for the new Mass Effect but lets not get ahead of ourselves and overhype this.
Shitting on Veilguard and gushing over Exodus? I think I've found a kindred spirit. :)
I am a woman of taste. People really think I'm jumping on the hate bandwagon like I haven't been playing RPGs since I was 13.
>game starts
>cutscene
>player takes control
>you contact your trusty AI assistant
"so, are you ready to do this?"
"*alright, alright, alright*"
I would scream.
If it's not drawing on a smoke for an eternity beforehand, it'll be a letdown.

I am a whore for lore. Let me read every piece of story and worldbuilding available and my life is yours.
That was the thing that made og bioware games so good, there was a rich lore behind the game.

Every time i hear that word diverse my skin crawls.
It's a trigger response. They mean it as in non-human characters.
Glad to see your happy side, also, watching your videos about Exodus made me excited about it too. Congrats on that!
I am capable of more than anger, believe it or not.

This feels like the mass effect sequel i wanted. I reallly hope its good
@Mardark-e4s Let's all hold hands, wear our hooded robes, light our candles, stand in a circle and start chanting
Yes, this! It really feels like the Andromeda we SHOULD have had!. I'm quietly hopeful for this one! 🙂
I know too much thats why its hurts. WELL SAID! Never stop calling them out on the Veilguard!
NEVER
Watching your content is super fun! Thanks for all the laughs!

He is! Tom and Elise are the only human companions. The other ones are evolved terrestrials and I am looking forward to seeing how they look.
