Apparently some Russians are getting into code from builds they've gotten their hands on or some poo poo and confirmed the old rumor that the original or code-name of the project was Contact. Kind of how Dragon Age 2 was originally Exodus.



Another panoramic shot, this time of an interior:

Also I have never seen a site that sets up pics like this, but these look cool; they are some of the panoramic shots from earlier, but you can look around in them instead of just getting a flat 2d image.

That's not ad copy that's literally the description of the character used in the game and on their own website.

But by all means keep defending their poo poo writing.

How did game publishers bamboozle gamers into not believing any marketing materials but also not wanting any marketing materials even published for fear of "spoilers"? It's absurd.

March 21st, though you can get it early as the 11th for 10 hours, I believe, if you have EA's Origin Access.

I made a Shepard that looked exactly like me once, and my wife's reaction was "there's a silver fox in the hen house!"

To this day, I don't know if I should take it as a compliment.

I still don't get trolls saying this. Are the animations of the characters janky? Yes. Are the characters ugly? No. Do I want to gently caress a Turian? Maybe...?

I mean, the previous games let you make Obama and Sam Jackson pretty convincingly, so how black are we talking? Maybe he thinks you're trolling.

Only other thing I've seen him confirm that might touch on that was that we can get a haircut not unlike Liam's.

It's a weird loving question given the wide range of customization options. I guess maybe he wants a minstrel voice option?

When they complain about women looking ugly what they mean are that the women don't look like the anime body pillows they gently caress every night.

Open up the game in your origin library, click on More-->Extra content, all the DLC is there.

Unfortunately to buy it you need Bioware points in non-even amounts, because this was back when that poo poo was still a thing. But you can get around that with Amazon.

I never bought ME3 on PC, I originally played it on the 360, and now I'd like to play it with the Citadel and Leviathan DLCs. Is this poo poo seriously going to cost me like $15 for each DLC? They seriously haven't released some all-inclusive edition with all the DLC?

This is so danm weird, why does a race with huge head tentacles tuck them into their shirt? If they did, wouldn't they have developed a shirt that was less "human'? Like, ones with sock-like pockets down the back, or pouches in the front or loving something? like, wouldn't that chafe the tentacles around that neck area where the collar lies?

And that's his belt, Hedrigall, you muppet. Keep your fuzzy paw slippers on.

I havent looked at much of the ad material, so I just figured that to be a meaty sternocleidomastoid. Have they shown the things actually flapping freely?

The ones that look like women standing behind him have theirs hanging out. Personally I think it looks like the males' are fused to their shoulders. They definitely have some WoW levels of sexual dimorphism going on with the body sizes/builds.

E: Looked closer, the women's aren't hanging loose either. The joys of speculating based on like two screenshots. :kiddo:

For once, Bioware could actually tell better stories with their romance mechanic. How many humans are on these arks? 10k, 100k? If it's closer to 10k, then it would make sense if other people give you crap in case you enter a relationship where you can't have children naturally (Ryder with alien or with human of the same sex). There's the potential for interesting conflict and good storytelling.

It would work even better if the arks started after the Reapers conquered Earth, or maybe even after they took Thessia. If you believe you might be the last humans in the universe, the pressure to procreate would be even bigger. And it's less likely that they have an easy solution on board, like a million fertilized eggs that only need to be transplanted into willing women.

Each of the four arks has 20,000 each. Not sure if we know how many are in the nexus.

I also just pre-ordered but only because I was getting another game at the same time. Oops.
