Basically, EA hates gaming and gamers. They hate them. Hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate them.
This star wars game could potentially have made money, but there was a risk that it was going to be something people like. And THAT was unacceptable. To EA, games are only to be put out if they are vapid remakes of something already done this year - preferably every year - and the less value for your money it's worth and the more microtransactions and paid on-disc DLC it has, the better. Only by raping the franchise to death with a cactus will EA be happy. They CAN'T be happy if people like something.
It physically harms their C-levels. EA doesn't hate gamers, gamers are the source of income. EA is run by suits like any other entertainment company (like MGM and WB) and their products are aimed to make as much money as possible. If you look at who wear the suits at EA you will see quickly that very few of them have any interest in games and thus games are made to mass market appeal killing franchise after franchise and studio. One of the very few positives this has is their excellent customer service, the best on any metric when compared to other gaming companies (Paradox comes close second).
tldr; EA loves money and money comes from gamers. Sounds like they need to loot an old republic outpost for anything not bolted down and spotwelded to the floor.
droids medical supplies and equipment arms and munitions long-range comm equipment portable shield generators All this can be flogged to outer rim frontier worlds for hard credits if you know the right guy, who knows the right guys, you know what i mean. If you want to make it a challenge add in local hostile flora, fauna and environment. Maybe it is situated in what was once a dormant volcanic caldera that's now coming back to life and will engulf the outpost in magma when it pops. Maybe some aggressive local fauna has made its den in the base.
Fight it, create distractions or sneak around it. Maybe the very air on the planet is hazardous without sealed suits, or it eats through sensitive flight electronics. How will the PCs deal with the fact they have to wait for evac if things go south? EA hates gaming and gamers No, they're just run by the average group of shareholders who scream 'maximize profit'. Games are an art and most of them either don't understand or don't respect that idea.
Once you get away from how they treat games, like them screaming 'everything must have multi-player' they're okay. I've had nothing but good experiences with EA Origin support, and if you buy a super old game like wing commander from EA it will be playable without 3rd party patches, unlike an old fallout game off steam. Mordin was fun, sure.
Legion, I literally had to google because I forgot the beeboop generic robot. Plus, geth are probably my favorite thing about the setting, but I don't want one of them fuckers on board.
Jack was basically a tumblr meme. Grunt was a shitty Wrex.
Then again, I killed Wrex, so I'll take something over nothing. I'm just sad that ME2 spoiled my Pax Humana runs by making me waste time with ayylmaos instead of filling it out with humans. I enjoyed my violently racist Mass Effect run which basically ended the first game with Imperial march plays proudly.
Even if the death of Kaiden made me bring along Garrus as a manservant. Also, Kaiden and Ashley actually have fairly interesting backstories, from Ashley's whole sins of the father shtick Kaiden being a horrifying medical experiment with an expiration date. EA said it, so it must be true. EA would never lie to us, Anon.
