Sara Ryder had a wasp waist in that Peebee loyalty mission footage. All the poo poo hanging off her hips might have had something to do with that, though.

There is a small, easy to miss scroll bar that looks like it would make that list very, very long.

As you suggest, I think they are all cosmetic. It says it's a "common class" so I am leaning towards the most basic of basic classes like vanguard are available to all races with no changes, but more specialized and race specific varieties come later. But that's just my :speculate:

Multiplayer characters are supposed to be members of the GinyuApex Force, so maybe it's their designation.

Dragon Age Inquisition also had a weapon pack pre order tie in and on that you also got schematics for the weapons so maybe that may happen in this case

I assume that means that character is currently the active one they have selected, and the screen is just changing to show each character as they browse?

Also two random nuggets: apparently it was confirmed on Twitter that at least one of the Krogan in that list is female.

And Kumail Nanjiani's "space frog" character was revealed to be a prominent Salarian politician in the game.

They are basically going to be the same as the preorder special edition weapons/armor from Inquisition. Ian Frazier explained on twitter that they start out slightly better than poo poo you can get at the start of the game, but stuff you can buy and craft will replace it statistically sooner or later, and upgraded schematics are level gated. Expect there to be a box next to your crafting station that occasionally lets you know you have mail as you reach higher levels. I am not going to go digging through all his tweets to double check, but I believe he said they will not be literal palette swaps of guns in game; they will have some characteristics that make them different from other guns you can make in the game, at least in the technical sense.

Are all of those just the Vanguard class, because if so that would imply some crazy amount of diversity for each class which would be killer.

SisonaCR for MP yes, you have some customization of armor but not face

Ted Zlammy‏ @tedzlammy
Some of the levels are kinda varied. Does each kit get their own level now instead of kits sharing a class level like in ME3?

good spotting - yes. every single kit now levels up independently.

So each of those is a different class kit.

Buh...are we allowed to customize those faces, or are those the predetermined faces for each individual class-gender character? Like if you want to play the male human Sentinel then you just have to have that specific face?

The Mass Effect subreddit has a number of people claiming that the option to preload is now available on Xbox One, so that might be where the download picture came from.

Taken with a grain of salt, naturally.

Hopefully by armor customization you get to pick things like helmets to cover heads you don't like, but I'm not holding my breath.

I think they're trying to go for something like, again, Inquisition did, where MP characters would hang around your base. In this case, each of those MP kits is a character you could bump into on the Nexus.
