I'm new to the Mass Effect universe; never played any of the previous games, but heard good things. I learned that Andromeda does not take save data from previous Mass Effect games, and also isn't dependent on any choices made in those games. So it seems like it can be a good starting point for someone new to the ME universe. However, obviously I've heard the controversy around the game and how it is relatively unpolished, with bugs and animation problems. So, I am looking for opinions on Andromeda as an introduction to the ME franchise. I know it's polarizing right now and that everyone has their biases, but hopefully I'll be able to sift through the crap and find something substantial. Tell me if you think Andromeda would be a worthwhile purchase for someone new to the franchise. Is there alot of stuff to do? Does it get repetitive? Is the story cliched, or is it engaging? No spoilers, please (duh). UPDATE: Decided to get it. May be taking a bit of a risk, but I'm ok with that. With Bioware announcing that they plan to address some of the player concerns in the near future, I'm hopeful that the game will become more polished with post-launch support.
