I preordered the game and I took a week vacation from 20th to 24th Feb.

Because you see, in this socialized hell hole I live in, I get 6 weeks paid vacation every year and unlimited sick days and I just don't know when to take all of that time off!!

I just wanted to get that out there - because I can.

Thanks Merkel.

OK. I think precision is saying you can link Gnosticism to a lot of low-mid tier creative writing for the same reason you can link Joseph Campbell's monomyth to a lot of low-mid tier creative writing (because that's what the 'industrial writers' in TV/film/games are taught), which was Patrick Weekes' defence when he was called out on all the Bioware RPG plots being the same, down to the order of essential plot beats.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

i could hit it from a couple different angles but i'll go with it's passing strange that they won't be having a beta for their highly anticipated multiplayer mode when they had a beta for their me3 multiplayer at a time when it was both unproven and expected to be a trash gimmick bolted onto the main game

If I had to guess, there are performance issues (as noted in previews) they hope to iron out before release but wouldn't be able to fix for the beta, and don't want the associated negative press.

Apparently the Access build will be on the release/day 1 patch, so we won't have to play the game of "they'll fix it with the day 1 patch".

well yeah, the fact that they pitched the idea of a beta months ago and slowly and quietly let it linger and after running out of time to make it happen let it die in an offhand announcement kind of speaks volumes to that

I think you should take very seriously the guy who saw the video showing a side character was voiced by a tv actress and concluded "hiring actors to voice characters, in a Mass Effect game? Bioware does it again, this will be truly terrible"

There is literally nothing he won't complain about
