This week in the comments
A week marked by disappointment: the Future Games Show and the confirmed absence of a character creator sent enthusiasm tumbling, with comparisons to Mass Effect Andromeda popping up constantly. Marketing seen as "weird" and continued silence on FemJun crystallized frustration, even as many insist they still want the game to succeed.
No character creator: the breaking point
Roughly a third of this week's comments cite the missing character creator as their reason for checking out, several saying they removed the game from their wishlist.
FemJun still unseen, patience running out
Several highly-liked comments note the female version of Jun still hasn't been shown, fueling suspicion she may be quietly cut.
"Weird" marketing erodes confidence
The marketing tone (memes, merch, silence on the actual game) is criticized as incoherent, several saying they'd nearly forgotten the game existed — a recurring theme that clearly intensifies this week.
The Expanse gains ground in comparisons
Many commenters say their hype is shifting toward The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, seen as more visible and better communicated this week.
Game's budget questioned
Several comments question the reported $250 million development figure, comparing it to well-known AAA titles.
Top reactions and controversies
The ghost of Mass Effect
Dominant takeSince the announcement, the presence of former Mass Effect developers (Karpyshyn, Ohlen) has framed the entire conversation: Exodus is seen as an eagerly awaited spiritual successor, an ever-present reference across the vast majority of positive comments throughout the whole period.
Character creator: the central divide
ControversySince the reveal that there would be no character creator, followed by "uncanny" faces in the latest trailer, the community splits between those who see it as a betrayal of the RPG promise and those for whom story and writing matter more than customization.
The wait for real gameplay
Dominant takeSince the earliest lore and tabletop videos, a constant refrain has returned: "show the game." The community keeps asking for real dialogue, exploration and HUD footage rather than cinematics and side-content storytelling.
Hasbro/WotC, the worrying shadow
ControversyWizards of the Coast/Hasbro's involvement has divided the community from the start: some see risks of monetization or creative interference echoing the BG3/Larian saga, others believe the studio retains creative independence.
James Ohlen's departure, a warning sign?
ControversyOhlen's announced step-down from studio leadership, a year before release, reignited worries about the game's real state of development, some citing Anthem or Andromeda precedents, others downplaying it since he remains a consultant.
