Much has been made about Mass Effect: Andromeda‘s decision to depart from the Commander Shepard narrative, but in the end, the only thing that will matter for BioWare is whether or not gamers identify as strongly with the Ryder twins as they did with the original trilogy’s protagonist. Having the twins resemble the players controlling them is a strong start, however, and Mass Effect: Andromeda lead designer Ian Frazier confirmed late yesterday that fans would be able to customize both twins while they play.
@JozefEntwistle You pick your twin first, but can change your mind later if you want. Up until you click START GAME, fiddle away.
