I don't know if the game implies this or whatever but I always find it strange how your soldiers stop having an inch of personality and act like godamn robots after MEC.

"Booyah headshot" turns into "Target neutralized"

I think, and my thoughts cross the barrier into the synapses of the machine - just as the good doctor intended. But what I cannot shake, and what hints at things to come, is that thoughts cross back. In my dreams the sensibility of the machine invades the periphery of my consciousness. Dark. Rigid. Cold. Alien. Evolution is at work here, but just what is evolving remains to be seen.

EU: "The more I see, the more I don't want to see. That twisted hulk of flesh and metal... driven by the alien technology, can we still call that life? We have to keep moving forward with the project, but the thought of treading the same path as the aliens... is troubling. What if they were like us once? Are we just part of a continuing cycle? If this is glimpse of our future, I want no part of it."

EW: "That hulk of flesh and metal troubles me. What do we risk with our own investigations into the melding of human and machine? Will we see a line in the sand and refuse to cross it? Or will we move forward, willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of total victory? I have to believe that is not our future. Provided, of course, that the aliens' technology remains in the right hands."

Playing through my own game, I think Vahlen has a pretty good head on her shoulders with regards to the ethics of her work as well. She keeps making comments about how the aliens seem to have abandoned all ethics and morality for the sake of progress, and she can't understand what would drive them to such lengths, explicitly saying that science is meant to better humanity, not destroy what it means to be human.

Now that the aliens are using human DNA to upgrade their units, I wonder if floaters are going to look more like they did in the original.

I know they're probably going to use the same Deus Ex: HR guy for the soundtrack, but I really hope it sounds more like the original. Something about it is just so awesome and sinister.

This might mean there's no "win" condition for most missions. You achieve your objective and extract (from anywhere that's open enough to let the skyranger hover) with whatever salvage and prisoners/wounded you've managed to bag so far.
This is confirmed. You can still win by clearing all aliens, but they said that if you complete your side objective, which is usually hack/steal/rescue, you can then evac and the mission will be a win even if you couldn't kill all the enemies. So there's options, in case you stealth around and see a pod you couldn't possibly take out.
Sneak in, sneak out, if necessary.

Hmm, sounds like XCOM 2 is the final name and not a placeholder for a new subtitle.
Yeah, one of the most interesting parts of the whole thing to me was that they finally feel this is enough of a step forward not to be just another subtitle thing, but a straight up "2". Should be interesting.

I feel like since every other XCOM game has a subtitle, this one should too. Even if it's something horrifically cheesy like XCOM 2: Advent Rising or something.

According to the video they felt the opposite, that every other XCOM game had a subtitle so they wanted to do something different. Also, because they couldn't think of a good subtitle.

Re: Advent Rising, before the XCOM 2 announcement I was actually seeing people on Facebook predicting that the ADVENT teasing stuff meant that we were going to see a sequel to this.

If you have to manually go around and loot dead dudes on a timer, I hope that their equipment is explosion-proof now. Enemies will probably come in small squads still, so explosives seem like a great way to ambush a group if you only get one shot.

Also, I hope I can give everyone luxurious, flowing beards.
