So swapping between the six classes on the fly looks a little weird. I wonder how that works. I was under the impression that you could just pick from a list of powers. Is it more like a jobs system from a Final Fantasy game? Where you have to level up the classes to unlock more powers? That sounds like something really hard to balance between overpowered or spread too thin.

Skippy McPants posted:This was the best. After two full games of puffing the Prothean's and their tech up as some kind of Holy Grail, it all gets upended and their last survivor is like, "I'm just a shootman, I can't really help you do more than put bullets in things." He also explains that the Prothean being such an expansive empire meant that they acted like pretty much every other expansive empire in history, which was kind of nice to see.

Waltzing Along posted:Produces one of the best moments in the entire series. I usually go orphan route each time myself, but I love the idea that a protagonist has a healthy, caring relationship with a parent who does not at any point get pulled into some meaningless death for cheap melodrama.

exquisite tea posted:Miranda has a solid, complete arc in ME2 and then just kind of... shows up for ME3. You can see a lot of the logistical problems with attempting to write characters over the course of three games where their actions and even whether they're alive or dead are in question. Liara has the same thing going on in ME2 where the bulk of her character development comes in an intercessional DLC, and then she contributes almost nothing to driving the plot in ME3 besides repeatedly getting owned by Javik. Two characters who really should have had their arcs closed off in the second game, but because we have to bring everybody back for callback purposes, they're still around, asking Shepard to do stuff. Meanwhile Jack had a really nice resolution to her character, as did Mordin and Samara, so it's a mixed bag. Agreed. In general I liked what the did with the returning characters, but some just didn't really go anywhere. Like Kasumi, Zaeed, Ashley (not Kaiden, because he kind of grew a personality), and especially Jacob who remained as boring as ever.

Perhaps one day Bioware will learn to adapt real human faces to create something that doesn't look like it was made of rejected silly putty.

Cythereal posted:Bioware said it was because Engineer's always been by far the least-played class in every game in the series. Yeah. The name makes you think it's all about debuff and hacks, but it's more of a classic mage than any Adept.

Skippy McPants posted:Except that the NPCs in ME:A is better written and developed than those in ME: 1. Not that I'm saying the Andromeda cast is perfect, but the attachment people have to original ME crew was build over the span of three games. It's unfair to expect a similar degree of rapport after a single title. ME:A to DA:I is a better comparison, as they're both freshmen teams (minus Varric) and Inquisition makes a much better first impression. ME1 Garrus was extremely bland and Tali was a Wikipedia article on quarians.

Arglebargle III posted:It's by far the worst entry in the series, including the badly rushed ME3. However it's not a terrible game and if not for its brand pedigree it would be a cautiously optimistic C+ from a new studio. From what I can tell, the gameplay overall seems improved, but the storyline, characters, and especially dialogue have taken a steep nosedive into straight up embarrassing territory.

hard counter posted:sure let me update the post to take out masterpiece and ambitious Sadly true. DAII starts to look good compared to Andromeda's writing. Sure, it's not as offensive as ME3's pretentious ending or magical macguffin, but it's flatly worse overall.

Neddy Seagoon posted:I actually don't mind it with the Asari who wear them, because they're aliens after all. Maybe they have a harder tolerance for Vacuum/exotic atmosphere? Jack walking in a toxic atmosphere wearing tattoos and a belt bra made more than a few scenes ridiculous.
