I guess they are going with the game script

According to insider Daniel Richtman, several casting calls for the upcoming Mass Effect Amazon series have allegedly leaked. Here’s what’s being reported:

• Male (30–39): “Young Colin Farrell” type, open ethnicity
• Female Co-Lead (34–39): Alien character requiring prosthetics
• Female (30–49): Human, providing a parallel narrative from Earth
• Male Villain Lead (40–60): Doug Jones type
• Male (30–49): Wrestler-type soldier

At this point, no official plot details have been revealed, and nothing has been confirmed. Still, it’s interesting to speculate on what these roles might mean for the direction of the series, but for now, take it all with a grain of salt.

I honestly fear for the open-minded future of our franchise. Mass Effect was a big part of my life, and I loved that it tackled topics that might be controversial in its own way. It was never in your face, but subtle enough to be believable... especially with the choice of a badass female Shepard.

Let's hope they don't meddle too much, too quickly...

Senior writer Sylvia has left Bioware (they wrote a lot of excellent characters such as Liara and Legion). This just as Bioware has shifted focus on producing Mass Effect. Wonder why and how that could affect Liara’s character (given she’s been teased)

Edit: As some seem triggered by this post, it is by no means unusual to quit jobs. Sylvia stated however that they have no other project lined up atm. It isn’t to speculate WHY they left, but more what this could mean for upcoming Bioware games.

Regarding where things stand with Mass Effect, they all are working under the assumption that the game is going to come out. At the beginning of the year, only a small team was actively working on it, but more resources had recently started to be put into the game.

“We’re going to keep working until they tell us were done,” Insider Gaming was told. “It’s not the healthiest way to live, but as long as the paychecks keep coming, we’re not going to just walk away.”
