And too difficult to give unique characteristics. Your sweet hanar squadmate would be indistinguishable from every other hanar in the franchise. MP eventually got volus so that might happen in SP someday; elcor could probably get some kind of distinctive markings, but they move too slowly to be viable in combat.

Perhaps. Legion was just another Geth but he came out pretty cool.

He also keeps forgetting that his assault rifle has a spool-up time.

At the very least this video pretty much confirms that Peebee is 100% not Sera.

I'm not watching it due to it being a loyalty mission but it's good to hear that it was cool.

For what it's worth, the cutscene at the beginning is brief and doesn't really explain anything, and the rest is walking around and combat. I skipped around though, so not sure if there's dialogue going on throughout.

I feel like most of the loyalty missions in the original 3 could be finished in 20-25 minutes, so hopefully them giving away 17 for free here means that they're longer and more involved.

I can't wait to entirely remake femryder and be disappointed by the lack of options.

It's kind of unreal how everyone else looks pretty great, minus grog complaints about them being too human, and then there's femryder, with a face like an icebreaking ship.

I know "mon" means man, but I don't think "Och" means anything.

Yeah that looks good, except for the IGN guy being totally clueless, which is usually the case with their videos.

Didn't they say somewhere that each party member with have several loyalty missions this time, instead of just 1?

I can't follow the link, but I can guess its Sara's weird surprised look at the beginning. And yeah, that was like the only part of the video I didn't like.

Which is disappointing, cause there are shots out there where she looks good to me, and I played mainly male!Shep so I wanted to play as Sis!Ryder this time.

Edit:
But if this were a scene in the original trilogy, I bet they would be stone faced neutral throughout that scene

There is a holy poo poo level of throwing around the phrase uncanny valley as a nerdfactual basis for "criticism" ITT. It's ok not to like the look; it's ok not to like things. Your opinions do not need to use scientific terms or phrases to be your legitimate defensible opinions. The actual uncanny valley, when people can find evidence of it in studies, is closer to "very ill/walking corpse" look than it is to "kind of cartoonish face."

Also I forgot how proud Bioware was of their homage to Tetsuo: The Iron Man in ME1. I just did two missions in an order that resulted in me being shown that drat NIN video twice in a row, once by the Asari on Feros and then immediately afterwards Liara does the exact same thing. The definition of "scientist" is apparently "repeats the same experiment twice expecting a different result".

You may be overreacting to what is, largely, an internet comment about a video game
