Biodome posted:Maybe that's because they couldn't render hair that looked like that back then. Umm, except that the humans had eyebrows in as far back as the first Mass Effect. Most of the Asari at least had some type of painted on heavy eyeshadow/facepaint that heavily suggested eyebrows. Liara's was the most extreme, I believe, but the others sometimes had eyebrows dotted on or tribalbrows.

It's such a small thing and it's not really an issue to prevent enjoyment of anything but it's such a weird thing.

Drifter posted:Sure, but do you think Hawke or Furiousa is the more known and popular in modern culture, even among people who've played Dragon Age 2? I really only could think of two examples at the top of my head, aside from random mesoamerican styles, and perhaps I should have used a different term instead of 'wannabe', but it felt right to deride DA2. Well if DA2 wasn't made by the same company and people that are making Andromeda then I'd say you have a point, but it's totally legit to have throwbacks to your own products. I am at once deeply troubled and amused by that picture!

You guys are overthinking it. PB just looked into an exhaust pipe which comically blew soot on her face. This looks a lot like Tim Heidecker now. nerdz fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Jan 7, 2017 |

The explanation is probably gonna be that PB was raised by a human father and was raised as a dude or something. Actually given that Aethyta is the best Asari, that doesn't sound so bad, though this is just a guess.

I don't have a hate-on for her, I just wish she could have been a little more subdued in the wacky random lolz arena. It reduced her as a character. They spent more time on stealing underwear than her likely more interesting situation growing up. I was thinking more that there would be some little chunk of random expository dialog detailing what exactly it meant to be trans-species and how they're still everyday people like you and me.

While we wait for the "media blitz," Aaryn Flynn has clarified a few points:
The preload for PC is listed as March 17th. So if you're European and bummed about it not being released until two days later in your region, maybe getting an EA Access account will compensate? Also there was an interview in Spanish that they did that talks about having to deal with the Kett politically as well as through force. Which isn't really a huge surprise, but anything that can give me a moment like owning Loghain in court at least sounds cool to me. Also, their bone armor is supposed to be integrated into the story? It's apparently a big part of who they are and plays into how you interact with them somehow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLaypPPaayk There will be a bar called the Vortex Lounge, but it won't be the only one. And there was a tweet from Ben Gelinas: "At work polishing a small portion of the bazillion or so words in Mass Effect: Andromeda. Basically a galaxy of words in the dang game." So hopefully stuff like FLAMETHROWE R is getting addressed.

Randarkman posted:Seems like your guy actually has a set first name this time around. Though I guess that might just be your sibling. They don't have set names, those are just the default names you can pick any first name you like. Shepard had default names in the originally trilogy John and Jane (as in Doe) Anyway, I'm hoping Vetra can be romanced by Fryder

You can change your first name, but if you use the defaults they will sometimes be used in conversations. Likely by your sibling and father for the most part.

Absolutely nothing.

Biofan noticed that Peebee and Cora's icons changed since the original trailers Old:  New:  Just mentioning it since it seems they're going away from the hollow outlines (which makes me think they're going to update Liam's in a similar way), and this is still the closest we've come to seeing what Cora looks like, goddamn.

I have a feeling ME:A will be okay like how DAI was okay for me I didn't hate it but other than some cool beats it never blew me away. In general I agree ME is the better Bioware property and thus hope they tweak some of DAI's issues.

Something about Drack looks like he's out of a cheap cgi render. I think it's the ambient occlusion.

Can someone explain Liam's (is he just going to be Vega 2.0?) icon? Are those steampunk goggles or helmet headlights or something? Drack looks like Doomsday from the comics. I've never seen another lizard dude with bone spurs. Would that make him half Vorcha?

Drifter posted:Peebee's looks like real hair. Liara's (and every other asari's if they had them at all) were painted on. Also it's that whole dumb gently caress Dragon Age 2 wannabe Fury Road blood smear facepaint thing going on. I find the way ancient celts ripped off the face paint from Dragon Age 2 to be very derivative. marshmallow creep posted:While we wait for the "media blitz," Aaryn Flynn has clarified a few points: No surprise there. They probably crunched the numbers and realised that if you just charge the price of a season pass for each DLC you make more money or something. That feels like an EA thing they might do.
