Will PC have the 3 active skills only gimp too?

If so, hope someone mods it fast to allow for more.
It's not a console thing, it's a core part of the design - more than 3 powers when you have fairly short, per-power cooldowns would be pretty broken.

From the gameplay trailer, there's a tease about 'favorites' and from that it looks like you can have 12 active skills but can only switch between sets of 3.

Also this, according to the designer on twitter the next video should explain this fully.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


There are a lot of questionable decisions made by the Andromeda team but limiting powers to 3-4 active skills at a time is a good one. Mostly passive things like ammo powers have been removed and now that there are no distinct class roles, there has to be some decisionmaking involved for what powers to discard and keep.

Limitations.

Legion was the best. The lack of friendly Geth in Andromeda is disappointing.

I think it would make good sense for the Geth to have already sent expeditions to other galaxies after discovering the Reapers.

Speaking of nerd rage I read Shamus rant, I disagree on his point of Bioware got too big. Dragon Age has been pretty tonally consistent from start to inquisition. Sure 2 was bad and characters like Anders idiotic but things don't come outof left field, everything for the most part reasonably builds off of groundwork setup in origins.

i just wish bioware could go back to using their own engine so we could have kickin' rad mods again instead of just texture replacers.

the DA series was more coherent as far as the storyline goes imo.

more people should go to therapy, I think. especially if they play video games (or post on reddit)

C'mon man. If this thread has taught me anything you can't really enjoy Mass Effect unless you create the perfect waifu, try to get your character to gently caress every character in the game, while trying to get all the other characters to gently caress each other as well.

But you had to not gently caress Iron Bull and Dorian in order to get them to gently caress :(

Fingers crossed and here's hoping that this game ends up more like Mass Effect 2, which is probably one of my favorite games of ALL TIME, and I don't even like shooters and fast-action games usually. I was so retardedly SIKED for Mass Effect 3, then when it came out literally on my birthday, my boyfriend got me the deluxe edition plus a really nerdy art book and then I almost felt bad for him when I hated it so much, so I had to kind of gently pretend that I loved it so I didn't hurt his feelings .. :downs:

Dragon Age 2 (the follow up to my other favorite game of the last 15 years) and the "new" Sim city had already come out on basically my two previous birthdays. Needless to say, I don't get that SIKED anymore.

I don't play multiplayer, and I really hope there is no reason that I have to do it, in order to 95-100% the single-player. I'll play more hours or do more missions, or more exploring, anything.. as long as I don't HAVE to play multiplayer for any reason.

Also, thanks a lot guys. Now I've spent $30 on EA access so I can finally play ME 2 Again. I was checking every month for a year to see if it was finally backwards compatible, and then eventually gave up and forgot about it, until I saw this thread. I hope it's as fun the third time, since I haven't played it in so long. Has anyone played it again on the Xbox One? Is it just as fun? I'm concerned that I won't have all the characters because I'm trying to think back and figure out which DLC were important or if I even had any (but I feel like there were at least one or two with cool plot and/or new characters). I'm still downloading the game, so I haven't looked it up yet.
