They already accidentally showed that. This trailer shows an ability called "Remnant VI" in the same spot as "Unknown." They scroll past it so you can even pause and read what it does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcidXF1pk4c&t=64s

It is, they showed it during the gameplay trailer. It now confers a cooldown penalty on other powers while it's active, probably to try and mitigate the N7 Fury strategy of running around spamming Throw to explode everything, which is too bad because that ruled. http://imgur.com/a/BZJ19

Ein Sexmonster posted: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. I can't really support this because cutting down on powers tends to weaken diversity. Just look at how boring The Division became after a couple of hours. It's like having to play Checkers when you started out on Chess. Sure it's still a complex game, but diversity is so much more fun.

In the trilogy you never had more than a hotbar could hold, but now you have, like, 9 actives just for biotics, so I imagine regardless of how they did it they would have to limit what you have access to at once or it would be insane.

More powers didn't increase diversity in ME3 anyway, it just let you bludgeon the game even on high difficulty because most classes had power combinations to cover absolutely every situation (not that a lot of people would know since they picked Soldier or Infiltrator). The place that had actual class and play style diversity was multiplayer, where classes had three powers and there were dozens of combinations. MEA system basically gives you four MP classes on demand that you can flip between at will. That seems more than enough.

Count Uvula posted:Majority? I would expect it to skew towards same gender twins just because identical twins are always the same gender, and fraternal twins should be 50:50? A quick google search suggests that boy/girl fraternal twins account for about 40% of all twin births, followed by fraternal girls, then fraternal boys, identical girls, and identical boys in descending order of likelihood. So fraternal boy/girl are the plurality may be more accurate.

Bloody Pom posted:I wonder if Annihilation will remain up while cloaked? I'm imagining Tac Cloak to get into a crowd, Annihilation Field to prime the bunch, and then if Nova still detonates, go straight to nova. It'll be a good question to answer if swapping favorites "quickly" incurs a cooldown, and if even if it doesn't, do the powers remember their cooldown timers after they swap. If I go through all twelve of my favorited powers in a cycle, will some of them still be cooling down, or will I just keep chainsawing through people with my abilities ad nauseum? I'd imagine they'd have to, or you get powers that are balanced by cooldowns getting their cooldowns ignored by quickly swapping favorites in and out.

Ein Sexmonster posted:Nope, Combat drone is still in, it's just an automatic perk for the engineer profile. Makes sense that they wouldn't give every profile all the toys. Makes me wonder what Vanguard gets if Charge and Nova are both regular biotic powers now. Hell, most of the big ticket class skills have become universal.

A good question. Soldier profiles get Marksman's Focus, giving them a damage buff for every enemy killed in a time frame. Which sounds perfect for something like the Revenant or similar bullet hose, especially in a crowd. Maybe Vanguards get something of similar utility; perhaps a free barrier boost for every kill, so they don't need Charge to keep up something like Nova if they're at least still killing folks.

I'd bet on Turbocharge being a catch-all Adrenaline Rush/Marksman replacement, in that case.

Interesting, in that case I wonder how the profile specific perks work then, are they active powers still? Or does the drone pop up automatically when you enter combat? You can't read the whole description in that screenshot but it kinda sounds like it's more focused on supporting the player than harassing the enemy this time, I'm envisioning something like Tali's defense drone in ME3 but it also gives you a buff in addition to attacking enemies that get too close to you. See, this is the kind of stuff that gets me interested in the game. More of this!
