Inquisition never got any DLC companions. They probably see the area/mission pack model as working better because many people don't want to replay the game just to use a dlc character.

i have yet to see if you get the cool tech armor ability where you explode if you take too much damage, but i played like 400 hours of mass effect multiplayer so i'll play this too do we know how the multiplayer works yet? is it back to the old system where you need to randomly unlock the classes you want to play?

I have no real opinion on most of the party members at present because we know basically fuckall about them. I'm reminded of pre-Inquisition threads which was filled with people mocking what little pre-release info we had on Iron Bull and now those same people will defend him to the death as their bae.

Yeah but that's because the horses were poo poo and almost slower than walking. I traveled faster using the warriors Bull's Charge ability than using a mount.

I don't think that anybody was impressed by what they saw of Solas pre-release, yet he turned out to be a really good character. It simply makes no sense to judge the companions by what little we've seen yet. Fangz posted:I am happy there isn't too many companions. Seconding this.

Pattonesque posted:inquisition's horses were bad because you'd have to stop every few paces to interact with stuff and also it stopped all party banter They were also not a hell of a lot faster than just running. In a game with fast travel points dotted around the map. Zero utility and only one side quest that required them (which from memory just unlocked another mount so you miss nothing by skipping it). I honestly think the mounts in DA:I were just a marketing bullet point because of how prominently it featured in the pre order advertising.

I think some of the optional areas were better suited for horse riding. It was pretty fun to ride across the bigger desert maps. Hissing wastes, was it? It was also interesting (but probably unintended) that the horse had no fall damage so there's shortcuts from just riding off of cliffs.

There will be face codes, and moreover:quote:[Y]ou'll be able to upload your character data to the upcoming Mass Effect Andromeda social site so that other players will know what you look like, as well as download other players' characters if you like their style.

They have at least penciled in plans for sequels so less companions now leaves room for more without things getting really crowded right away.

I played a little of DAInq a few months ago before becoming utterly bored by it and uninstalling it (I think I had played it completely through near its original release). This time I had ... acquired the dlc and was utterly dumbfounded at all the mounts they had. The mounts looked varied and some looked super cool but the entire practical gameplay utility of mounts was just so loving stupid. Teh fact that it would shut off party banter was one of the stupidest fuckign design decisions Bioware could have made. The fact that you couldn't collect poo poo from your mount was also retarded. Although, the fact that the game was an mmo based on collecting poo poo and then had a three second harvesting animation for each loving thing you tried to pick up was also goddamned ridiculous.

EA has zero confidence in this game if we're ~a month out and "here's some B-roll" is all the coverage they're letting people do.

DAI would have been so much better if followers wandered around harvesting herbs and minerals and shooting at wildlife like in Dragon's Dogma. With no weight concerns it wouldn't even be a big deal when you open up Sera's inventory screen and she's picked up 30 pairs of pants unlike my weird special boy pawn in Dragon's Dogma who totally tanked his stamina regen due to his heavy-rear end skull collection.

In my dream game as a spirit animal I want things to have a utility purpose more then just window dressing like having the whatever-is-equivalent to the Mako to allow to change equipment etc that might be my greatest dislike about ME. A lot of window dressing.

This time I had ... acquired the dlc and was utterly dumbfounded at all the mounts they had. Yeah, the game has big flaws. Most of them are because of said original conception as an MMO, but even MMOs usually have mounts that are significantly faster than walking. I really don't understand what Bioware thought they were doing here. Locking out character banter, one of the best feature of Bioware games, is just the cherry on top.

Somebody mentioned this earlier, but it really kinda bothers me - Mass Effect Andromeda doesn't seem like you have the option of telling your teammates what powers to use. There's just that one empty space next to your squad mates.   also: Adept Supremacy

Also yes, it looks like manual companion control is out. On the other hand it looks like companions are very aggressive about using detonators on enemies you've primed.
