I never played the first Mass Effect, I wish they'd redo it for the newer consoles. However I do agree Andromeda gets better later in the game..I almost put it down and went and bought the Horizon game, but glad I persevered. I am exploring almost all of it before going to the end mission, just because I like immersing myself in open world games.(it's like therapeutic)

So I guess if I want to have a white character I go with the default. I like creating my own but the character creations all look like some kind of prehistoric man.
