There were lines recording for a Mordin/Grunt confrontation in the same way that Jack/Miranda and Tali/Legion have conflict scenes, but it was scrapped for whatever reason.

Also, Mordin was planned to be biotic. If you modify the game to let Mordin make the biotic field during the Suicide Mission, he not only has dialogue for it he's a successful choice like Samara and Jack.

Downloading the trial right now, 40 GBs.

Does this count as the preload too for the actual game?

Has anyone posted the Skills and Abilities page? It doesn't have numbers, but it does list all the evolutions available.
Is it just me or is the lack of Warp really noticeable for the Biotic classes? The only thing they have to deal with armor is a Rank 6 Shockwave specialization.

And we have to combine Pull with Throw in order to do the weaponized enemy thing? I guess that...makes sense...but still.

Specs are 55gb of space so yeah that's probably the whole thing -15gb for future patches/dlc.

Fucker, the PC trial is still just showing "Learn More" and linking to the store page for me.

Do you need to have both EA access and Origin access or something? Are these two different things? I bought origin access and was under the impression that was what you had to do

And Lance. More to the point, it looks like Bioware's trying to encourage people to dip into multiple trees so the adept's answer to armor is to grab incinerate or omnigrenade or a sniper rifle or something.

I guess people don't give a rats rear end about the game. I was kind of expecting Origin's servers to implode and give poor speeds.

But I'm getting 11.8MB/s.
Oh, and the game apparently lets you start playing at 42%, it has a streaming install ala some other origin games.

Oh boy, time to dissapoint my socks off and get sad at ME becoming bad.

I'm okay with Biotics not being good at everything. It's not like you can't put a gun in your space wizards hand, or anything.

Question about ME1 since I never tried this - on Feros it should be entirely possible to not meet the Exogeni holdouts by driving right on past both times (and ignoring the scientist when she says "STOP THE ROVER" and runs out on the way back.) I'm curious how the game actually handled this, does it take into account that you don't know about a way to knock out the thralls and is there a "who the hell are you people" moment after killing the Thorian?

Apparently the 10 hours early access might not be 10 hours. It's more that you can play up to a certain point in the game or for 10h, whichever happens first.

E: So nobody playing early access will be able to see things beyond which Bioware has permitted people with press copies to show/talk about.

Well I'd be okay with it in ME2 or 3 'cuz usually any "holes" in your build ought to be filled by your squadmates (:quagmire:) but I'm no longer sure you have particularly fine-tuned control over the powers they're using.

Ah, checking the list again, it seems like Nova can also spec as anti-armor, so that's something else at least. Still, I was such an avid Warp-user that I'm really gonna miss it here.

This just means 9 hrs and 59 mins it's been like that for other Origins trials I've done

Just make sure you completely exit the game when you aren't playing, it counts time when you're in the menus. Basically any time the game is launched is counted.

You can play up to the first open planet or something. It sounds like you can do all the content that's available on that planet at that point of the game but the game locks off progression after that point. So you spend ten hours wringing all the content out of that planet. Or play multiplayer.

Hopefully that planet isn't another Hinterlands situation of 'get out of this zone ASAP'.

The guy I heard that from said he'd played all of the first planet, done all the side quests and talked to everyone and it came up to about 6 hours.

To be fair it was the best part of ME3.
It could also be justifying the purchase, but I'm not going to blatantly accuse goons of having buyers remorse.
