Jesus. Where did they find the basement dweller that did the voice over for that?

At least at the disclaimer at the end it states "Not actual game play". So none of what you saw, you actually get to do. So on the bright side at least they are being careful with their false advertisement this time and not showing a bunch of poo poo that isn't going to be in the game.

But that voice over actor... :suicide: Who the hell thought that was a good idea.

If you can actually do resource gathering without getting out of the Nomad that's a pretty big QoL improvement from most RPG's with resource gathering. One of the things I hated from DA:I was that I had to get off my mount every time I wanted to gather something so eventually I stopped using the mount all together and just moved on foot.

Was the horse even faster than just running?

Either way I never used it because it prevented your party members from talking to each other.

The horse was faster than running but totally superfluous for most maps that were dense with points of interest. Its most useful application was in saving you from fall damage. Those battle nugs can take a beating.

I was thinking about that and wondered why a salarian is briefing the humans about the human pathfinder ship, especially when he mentioned being part of the crew at the end.

There were definitely several issues with mounts in DA:I, fair enough. Witcher 3 might be a better example of a game that would be improved by being able to gather resources while on your horse.

:( Here is what a Salarian sounds like when they pay a voice actor and have a sound editing crew.

9:14 in.

That video sounded like they just recorded a guy while he was holding back an explosive dump that he needed to take, but before he could, he needed to get 2 minutes of dialogue out first.

I don't know, to me he sounded like he got a boner every time he started speaking about flashy tech, which I guess falls in line with a tech wiz pilot kinda archetype. so yeah, definitely a nerd but I don't really think the VA was bad.

All new game purchases already are preorders, and with your preorder you receive beta access, they just don't call it that.

Despite this purpotedly being a major AAA release everything surrounding Andromeda has looked extremely second rate. They're selling people on their tropes and memes.

DAI MP was poo poo because DAI combat was poo poo and because it felt slow due to the lack of an action over-the-shoulder camera. the concepts were fine, I liked the class-related secret areas and going full Link on the pottery for extra gold.

It doesn't matter when you know what the developer has become :(

And for that, just go ahead and point to DA:I.

Hopefully it is a good solid game and I will play it because I love the universe it is set in... But I do not have any confidence in this company any longer.

Inquisition's MP would have been way better if it didn't take so long to assemble all the class kits and the servers weren't so janky. The combat felt really floaty all the time because your party members were lag teleporting all over the map.
