SAM seems like it exists to either justify some sort of UI thing or else as a thing that is clearly going to be the main plot of the series.

Alec Ryder is both an N7 operative and a pioneering AI scientist little bit much to live up to IMO

Funko pop preview: https://funko.com/blogs/news/coming-soon-mass-effect-andromeda-pop-s These things look hideous to me but it seems to confirm that the Angaran with the visor over one eye is Jaal and potentially the 6th squad member

Cora strikes me as a woman trying to keep up with the hip youngsters with that hair cut.Kurieg posted:So how do you get the custom Nomad skin they referenced in the video, is that just the pre-order one? That is indeed part of the default preorder bonus, that skin, along with the Deep Space Explorer Armor and a multiplayer booster pack. Getting the Deluxe then adds to that: A casual outfit, the Scavenger armor, the Pathfinder Elite Weapon Set (four pieces), a pet pyjack, a digital soundtrack, and a deluxe multiplayer pack on top of all that. The super Deluxe is the Deluxe plus a free booster pack per week for twenty weeks.

Sure is a lot of hate for a haircut in this thread. I'm just happy that Frostbite can do blond a lot better than the previous engine.

It's funny how they're alternating between Costa/Kosta for Liam's family name in several different pieces of media. As someone with the same family name it's very annoying

I liked everything I saw except the character models. They still look like they're from that animated Star Wars show. Seriously what's up with that? Characters looked better in all 3 original games.

Drifter posted:MMOs have this, right? Like you have 1-9 hotbar, and then can cycle through maybe 3 or 4 instances of hotbars, each with whatever skills you put in them. Having different loadouts because there is a lot of powers makes sense in a multiplayer game when an individual stopping time to choose their powers from a large list isn't do-able. So limiting all your powers in this way may mean that a game is designed with the single-player experience being less important. Moola posted:Actually its super cool because most games overwhelmingly have male protagonists Didn't even think twice about playing ME as femShep, partly because playing as a woman is still something of a novelty.

Considering the pathfinder project left after ME2 it would be interesting if Cora were related to TIM but just talks about her crazy younger brother and his crackpot theories with absolutely no knowlege of what he's done during her cryosleep. Since she's apparently badass enough to throw down with Asari Commandos.SgtSteel91 posted:And Liam reminds me of Koth from the Old Rebublic MMO (especially with that haircut) I already made that joke thank you very much.

Yeah I have to agree. I don't think you can really judge how much you'll end up liking a character from trailers. I can't think of a single trailer from Bioware that made me go yeah can't wait to play all their cool scenes. They'll be out of context and can't possibly show you the stuff that ends being the parts you actually like. For example: shooting bottles with Garrus on the Citadel.

And then start the Andromeda galaxies white genocide movement. Going to let Cora die any time I get a chance. If not she gets to be the token white. White people have already ruined one galaxy we aren't going to allow them to ruin Andromeda.

Funco Pop things spell Sarah Ryder's name as Sara while the Andromeda briefing lists it as Sarah. Personally I think they should just put Sera in the game, it's what everyone wants.

^^That's interesting, because I believe the writers confirmed it was Sara over twitter.nerdz posted:It's funny how they're alternating between Costa/Kosta for Liam's family name in several different pieces of media. As someone with the same family name it's very annoying They seem to have made it explicitly Kosta in the briefing video, which is what I have now put in the OP. I spelled it Costa before the video dropped because that was how I encountered it reading reports of hearsay. I suspect now that there is an official source people will start to get it consistent. marshmallow creep fucked around with this message at 22:01 on Jan 26, 2017 |

Cora looks fine. They all look fine. But Asari Lennox looks loving stupid. I really really hope you can avoid her. Also, why no boy ryder in the funco line? That's a bit odd.

Grunt did kind of suck. Except in ME3. But ME2 was just I HAVE THESE URGES. I NEED TO KILL THINGS. ZZZZ. Really not much character there at all. Zaeed was far more interesting.

Zaeed is one of my favorite companions in any RPG. He's a completely irredeemable rear end in a top hat, but listening to him talk is an absolute delight. He's like Trump, if Trump was a mercenary.
