Bioware said it was because Engineer's always been by far the least-played class in every game in the series. In 3, it's a class with a hugely versatile toolkit. You have a power for every occasion and barely need a gun.

I wonder how they set up the default on the PC? Q and E standing in for LB and RB with the 1-4 keys mapping your favorites?

If a PC game has controller support, I generally use it. So I'm glad they are finally putting it in for Mass Effect.

Is there not enough buttons on a controller to have more than 3 abilities at a time now? I've got 1-5 and F1-F4 easily pressable by one hand and Bioware is still trying to dumb this poo poo down to Divekick levels of complexity.

In any case, doing the combination thing for the third ability on PC is pretty daft, and I don't think they'll do that. Actually, how did the ME3 MP work with keyboard?

Thor-Stryker posted:Is there not enough buttons on a controller to have more than 3 abilities at a time now? Maybe this has already been confirmed but given that you have 3 active abilities at any one time on a "favorite" build I'm guessing, with a controller, you switch between your active 3 with left/down/right and switch between builds by holding up and then having something akin to the power wheel in ME2 to switch builds. How you would control squad powers I'm not sure.

Fangz posted:Asari naturally have it, humans get implants. Not quite. Asari are unique in that they're all born with it, but in every other race biotics are only in a small percentage of the population, either born with it due to exposure to element zero in the womb (this is most of them - Kaidan talks about he was one of a lot of biotic children born after an industrial accident in Singapore blew up an element zero core and irradiated a large swathe of the population including his pregnant mom) or from surviving massive element zero exposure later in life. This is also why quarian biotics are noted to be so rare, the only large-scale exposure quarians get to element zero is when a ship's drive core explodes, and even then their suits do a lot to protect them. Every race uses implants to enhance and focus their powers if they have them. The biological basis of biotics is nodules of element zero developing in the nervous system, and any biotic can use them intuitively. Implants make it much easier, much less stressful, and amplify the effects. This is also Bioware's justification for Shepard potentially developing biotic powers between games via changing class or bonus powers: Shepard's been exposed to so much element zero from exploding cores (like Sovereign's and the Human-Reaper) that she's developed biotic nodules in her nervous system. So yeah, there's going to be billions of biotic children of every race born across the galaxy in the aftermath of ME3 from all the ships, Reapers, and other element zero intensive hardware going boom in populated areas.

Fangz posted:Asari naturally have it, humans get implants. Biotics are caused by Eezo exposure. Thessia has naturally high Eezo levels so Asari evolved with biotics. Humans only started getting exposed to Eezo after they made first contact and started using mass effect technology. It either gives you biotic abilities or brain cancer. Amps are used to help you control the power and focus it. E: beaten by a much fuller explanation! Helith fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Feb 19, 2017 |

Flaming diamond swords is just overcompensating when muscle wizards can shoulder check and punch for the same effect. I mean it's good that Bioware decided that Vanguard/Knight-Enchanter style agility should be baseline for every class in the game because it means that they finally realized that those classes were by far the most fun things they've ever designed as opposed to say, most of the other classes in their respective games.
