I've been playing Andromeda again over the past few weeks and what has hit me most of all is how empty it seems. There just doesn't seem to be any substance to any of the world's and I really don't care about any of the companions. Combat is pretty dull and I never tend to move from Vanguard.
It also annoys me that the Pathfinder gets to wear N7 armour when it's been laid out in previous installments that the N7 program is the best of the best and that armour has to be earned.
I quite liked the idea of Sam though, that's a nice touch.
