Bioware producer Mike Gamble recently spoke in an interview about all things Mass Effect: Andromeda, and one of the big talking points was the world, which will be a bit more open than previous games in the series. Not only that, but Gamble said there will be a lot of interesting things to see.
"We have designers going throughout these open worlds and placing small little adventures, small little bits of narrative and visual story telling that we hope the players will explore to find," he revealed. "They're not career path stuff, they're not even usually side quest stuff, they're little self-contained things. They're for the folks who want to go every square meter of a planet, they're going to get a lot of enjoyment about that."
"You'll see like a couple chrome corpses, a couple ... corpses, you'll look around that area, pull your scanner up, you'll find out that, 'Oh s***, something bad happened here' and that was the result of that firefight is and this is why they did that. Maybe it'll point you to somewhere else on the planet; maybe it'll just end there. But we have those kind of things and we hope that players really enjoy those."
In the same interview, Gamble also revealed that, while there isn't going to be any official support for mods for the game, "as we see the reaction to these things those plans can change very quickly," so it's not totally a shut door.
