"Mass Effect: Andromeda" developed by BioWare is scheduled for release this March 21, is replete with new characters apart from the ones previously announced. The game also features important side quests that are deemed 'meaningful' by the developers.

So much hype is being generated by its developers ahead of its launch, and has not been stingy with their information. They even address queries through social media. Recently, more details about "Mass Effect: Andromeda" have been released that contributed to its fanfare in hopes to drum up support before its official release.

Game producer, Michael Gamble said not to expect "Mass Effect: Andromeda" to be an open world action RPG. However, he said, the game is an exploration-based' game. Accordingly, they say it is not in the mold of a traditional sandbox-type game.

Though crafting is present in the game, the use of the feature is entirely optional and not all that relevant to the "Mass Effect: Andromeda's" narrative. Instead, Bioware is pushing its side quests, which they say is more 'meaningful' to the game that carries "The Witcher 3" feel with the side quests, according to WWG.

According to game producer Fabrice Condominas, in adapting the Witcher series side quests, their approach for "Mass Effect: Andromeda"would be different after learning a lot from "Inquisition." Accordingly, the "Mass Effect: Andromeda" side quests need not be majorly tied to the full narrative, which the Witcher series managed to pull off.

If there is one aspect of "Mass Effect: Andromeda" fans are looking forward to, it would be the games romance pairings. "Mass Effect" had fans champion the unusual pairings. Even before release, fans are looking to new character Jaal, who seems to be an early "Mass Effect: Andromeda" favorite, Eurogamer reported.

Fans in forums consider Jaal beautiful; another called him the cutest thing they have seen. With those descriptions, it is no wonder some fans have been pestering "Mass Effect: Andromeda's" staff on social media to find out if Jaal can have sex in the game.

BioWare suggestively implied that Jaal would be available for coupling in "Mass Effect: Andromeda," however, it was not said if he would be available for just the male or female characters, or both. "Mass Effect: Andromeda" will be released in Spring 2017 to PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, and Xbox One
