Dan Didio posted:Soap! Your knife has overheated! Now, remember; switching to a reloading mechanic is always more fun than a cooldown mechanic. *Runs or of ammo in a universe where they have unlimited-round magazines* Seriously, they couldn't even be bothered to come up with a 'quality' in-universe reason for the switch. A blended mechanic where you have over-heating but can use cooling-magazines to instantly reset your heat would have made more sense.

Especially since cores are spread so thick you can't really run out of ammo anyways. It would also make heavier weapons, like the Heavy Pistol, more viable as a primary weapon.

I wish Bioware wasn't so stingy with in game skeletons. It's what limits them to humanoid aliens. Blizzard has a unique skeleton for each character in Overwatch which is crazy.

If BioWare makes new skeletons they won't be able to dip into their animation library that they've been using since, I dunno, jade empire? wonder who's gonna be the first person to do the air-quotes this time

Kurieg posted:Yes but they're different heights, weights, widths, body types, etc. This. I'm guessing if Blizzard had a need for a four legged model they would make it. Bioware seems to not want to invest the time in that kind of skeleton even though if could lead to some cool looking aliens.

I suspect that this has a lot to do with how they do cut scenes. A lot of in mission cut scenes include your current party in the background, I suspect that with one universal skeleton they can apply one sequence of animations to any character that might be there. If they do multiple skeletons they would potentially have to create multiple versions of each cut scene to account for whatever combination of skeletons might be present.

That being said having an elcor do more than just sit stationary would be a nice bonus.

I think? where you could see an elcor in the background walking around? I'd say let's see a hanar move but it'd just float slowly and boringly

On the other hand it's not like there isn't a way for Bioware, a subsidiary of one of the largest video game companies in the world, to find the money and time to make their all their aliens not share the same animations as their humans.

They got to the point where they had to remove holstering a gun from the game because their shambling zombie of an engine was choking, moving to all kinds of different character model animations probably wouldn't have gone nicely

I'm assuming some concept artist busted their rear end producing some pretty unique looking and workable alien designs. At some point a higher up from outside the art department saw them and flipped out about how they were too unrelatable for this weird and frankly embarrassing-at-times video game series where you can romance a metallic dinosaur bird guy. Then a pissed off artist busted out a few iterations of a normal-ish looking guy with a few star trek prosthetics glued on and everyone agreed it was good and moved on.

So basically we're up against gray humans in bone suits with spooky eyes? I'm pretty underwhelmed even for the obvious "soon-to-be-ally" race.

Literally any of those would've been better than what we got but I guess they wouldn't be able to ~reuse years worth of already made animations~ because Bioware is a poor indie dev who can't afford otherwise

Also we can't make it too weird or else people would really have to freak out theorizing the taste of their sweat. I mean, come on guys. We know our terrible audience. We make it too out there and we'll invite only more horrible fan theories!

Any time someone talks about how they just can't get people to relate to weird alien faces/bodies I think about Thomas Was Alone and how by the end of that game I was completely invested in the fate of a bunch of rectangles. Team Jump
