Wow. It looks like the top half and bottom halves of their faces are animated seperately while talking. No expressions appeared to cross an invisible line.

Someone has to sell thermal clips and grenades? That's basically a Merchant of Death.

Now I want a GiF of that exploding mountain demonstration in Iron Man 1 but with a krogan instead of Robert Downey Jr.

Wouldn't they give DEATH away for free or at least at a massive discount?

I understand people play games for a myriad of reasons but it will never not be kinda sad/weird to me that people care so much about relationships and sexual representation in these games. I run Adept in every game and usually only do sex stuff on my first playthrough because it ranges from weird (Tali) to straight up skeezy/uncomfortable. I'm still reeling from the Jack storyline like 4-5 years later, how that made it into the final game is beyond me...

So i guess what I'm saying is if i ever meet a space wizard and he is all about being super into Garrus and banging all the dudes on the ship, I'll give that dude a free pass because for him space wizard poo poo is old hat and it gets lonely out there in his floating asteroid tower.

I also believe that we're kind of approaching an event horizon where any game in the future that dares to have relationships will and must always allow every permutation. I don't think there is anything wrong with same-sex relationships whatsoever, in game or IRL, but agreeing with what other characters have said, making every character neutral/bisexual just kind of robs them of a sense of realism. Like imagine if they released a female character that was only into women, the internet would explode!

What I'd really like to see the most though is if they made it so the characters had physical/personal characteristics that flagged them, like for example what if Miranda only wants to bone you if you are a black dude or if you have red hair... or like Garrus would only wanna bang you if you were a Paragon or Jack would only want to bang you if you were an Adept... These kinds of flags would signal real attraction and interest based on personality traits and i think motivate players who want the sex scenes to play the game in different ways, instead of what we have now which is this creep harem anime where everyone is just patiently waiting to get hosed by their commanding officer.

Again, these mechanics have little bearing on my enjoyment of the game, but if they were written more realistically I'd be way, way more willing to engage in them.They just universally come across as what I think of when i think of shut-in losers bitching about the friendzone and incels and poo poo, like, has anyone at bioware ever gotten laid?... oh man i just made myself sad lol

Agreed, also I wanna gently caress da aliens

The impression I get is that you don't get to do load out customization at the demo. Instead you get to pick one of those two presets.

Hopefully it's just for powers and stuff. Or maybe each class has one signature weapon they always have equipped.

I always liked having the option with a new character to just stick a Harrier on them and faff about learning their powers later.

For 360 you can copy your existing ME2 saves to a USB Stick, then open the stick with some utility and copy a modified PC save into the proper directory. I did it several years back and it's clunky, but possible. Unfortunately the instructions I used to do it were on the bioware forums, apparently.

I think those are just the default loadouts that they're giving them for the Multiplayer tech demo. That said the Krogan engineer is entirely my poo poo.

e: just noticed they've got a tempest there but it's labeled the Charger? What?

Looks like you get two weapon slots. Could you take more in ME3? It's been a long time since I hit up the MP, I can't remember. I mostly just took a pistol and used nothing but powers.

you could load as many weapons you wanted in the single player (at least, one per type of weapon) but only two allowed in the multiplayer

Good to know. I should play a few rounds before Andromeda.

Also how are we not talking about the fact that the krogan looks to be in the middle of tipping over forward.

Backlash is supposed to be the bounce incoming fire back at your enemies one. The short description says she has a defensive ability, and charge and lance aren't it.

It would be nice if unlocking a class unlocked guns they are suites to. That duelist also doesnt have a sword like you'd expect.

Lance is the new Warp, except it's a beam and it can head-shot. Backlash is the "magnetic field absorbs bullets so you can shoot it back at them" Power.

They look remarkably zen about it. Practically nonchalant. Then again I guess that's probably just another day in the life of the average krogan.

i'm holding out hope and maybe bioware will do what they should've done with me3 and split off the multiplayer into a standalone purchase for $15 somewhere down the line

Do you need 6 or 7 Andromeda Initiative videos to qualify for the helmet? I thought it was 7, with the last unlocking recently, but I can only see 6 available.
