I'm guess ship 4 is Turians, or something off the wall like Hanar, and then there are Krogan hangers on because having an ark ship of Krogan would make zero loving sense. It also gives them an easy way not to have to model Geth, Quarians, Hanar, Elcor, Volus etc.

the good fax machine posted:If we brought Quarians and left the Turians and Krogans I am going to be legit mad We know there are some Krogan, the preview explicitly mentions them. Its just probably going to be a few adventurer Krogan dudes who tagged along as Mercenaries or for the experience. Similarly Quarians would make 0 loving sense since their population is tiny as poo poo and most of them are part of the Flotila. Turians are also the only race that makes sense according to the *~lore~*, and considering the other 3 Arks are explicitly the other 3 council races, but who knows  I'd like to see some more Salarians in the spotlight regardless, they really got shafted in the original trilogy overall.

Ciaphas posted:Might be interesting to see how the difference in racial lifespans affects the ark races differently. Salarians only live like 45-50 years, right, compared to the thousands of years for Asari? They were in hypersleep so no generational stuff unless like the Asari/Krogan all stayed awake during the voyage. They'll probably gloss over it though since they never really deal with the fact the Asari/Krogan live like fifty times longer than everyone else since they live thousands of years while everyone else operates on human/slightly less than human lifespan.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:I hate to be that guy, but the trailers said 4 ark ships total, and we know it'll be the council races, so humans, turians, asari, and salarians. If there are other races, they'll probably be just randoms hanging out on the main ship because they're good at their jobs or something. Not sure where the fifth arkship talk came from. There's a citadel-like Nexus ship as well. People are speculating thats where the non-council races are hanging out.

euphronius posted:Me1 had amazing atmosphere and sets and characters. The fighting was secondary . To me. IMHO. I really dislike how ME2 locked literally half the classes to only pistols. And on top of that made it so one of the pistols was a side-weapon at best because none of them got nearly enough ammo per heat sink. ME3 and ME1 were much better with the ability to mix and match weapons you liked, so all Adepts weren't locked to 'well, I guess I'm just using the Tempest forever' until 2/3rds through the game. I also really disliked how hosed over a lot of squadmates were in ME2 while others were great. Jack especially is just the epitome of  since basically everything is immune to her two active powers for most of the fight. Ditto Samara/Mordrith and to a lesser extent Mordin, Legion and Jacob.

Especially since cores are spread so thick you can't really run out of ammo anyways. It would also make heavier weapons, like the Heavy Pistol, more viable as a primary weapon.

Alain Post posted:I have room for lots of opinions, but if you think a Dragon Age game is better than Witcher 3 you are probably suffering from some kind of mental illness. I wasn't saying anything about Dragon Age? Just expressing surprise that goons were clowning on it and turning around to praise Witcher which is like.... loving terrible? Like I feel like people should totally make fun of the bad poo poo in Dragon Age, but the Witcher is chock full of dumb bullshit where women are just driven so crazy by how sexy Geralt is and he's the best sexer at sex and he's infertile ladies. Its absolutely creepy and cringe-inducing bullshit, much like the 'romance' scenes in Dragon Age/Mass Effect. But there are a fuckton more of them and they're really intrusive into the plot. Or the gameplay where you aggro an enemy of an arbitrary level higher than you so you start scratching them instead of doing damage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpT7qHnVxhs

Dr. Abysmal posted:I think the current assumption is that Cora is the female human companion that you start the game with, the old survey leaks that have mostly come true mentioned a blonde woman as a squad member. They haven't shown either human companion without their helmets on yet though. Yeah, so we have Male Human Female Human Turian Asari Krogan I'm guessing we'll finally get another Salarian as a squaddie and then probably another dude human. A Quarian if they really, really want to appeal to the Talimancers or a new Andromedan race as a secret late-game option.

Did anyone ever like playing as an Engineer? I heard people gush about everything else at some point (esp. Vanguard/Infiltrator) but no one ever seemed to give a gently caress about Engineers. I played Adept and they seemed basically like a worse version.

Serf posted:3 active skills seems like plenty for a cover shooter. Not if you're a space-wizard. Throw, pull, Warp, Singularity, Barrier, shockwave were all used in basically every combat in ME3. Paring it down makes a lot of cooler situational powers idiotic to take. It also makes mixing and matching restrictive as gently caress. Man this is the worst loving news. Hell I like ME3 a lot and Im going to be waiting on this game now because seriously fuuuuuuuck that.

Poops Mcgoots posted:Multiplayer restricted you to three active abilities and it never felt restricting. It did make a number of basic classes feel like poo poo though (human Adept, human Sentinel in particular). And it mostly got around feeling restricting by making a lot of new cool powers that aren't as specialized as things like Pull/Throw.

hampig posted:Well this is exactly what they've done. Most skills look like they have multiple uses or alternate fire modes now. Also everyone can combo reliably with separate cooldowns. I mean it leaves a fuckton of powers in the realm of 'why would you ever take this' now though. Cryo Blast, Throw, Shockwave, Nova, Sentry Turret, Concussive Shot, the grenade skills are all now 'why ever bother' because they're all super situational and not as widely useful as things like Charge/Warp/Singularity/Overload etc. And if ammo powers count it just feels even shittier.

Lurks Morington posted:And, weirdly, at the very end some comps will kill a loyal squad member, even with everyone else loyal. I brought Garrus and Miranda for the baby reaper fight and Mordin died for some reason. There's a flow chart that explains, I'm sure Mordin's got a very low Hold the Line score while Garrus has one of the best. It averages the people left behind and kills people if the average is below a certain amount. Mordin also dies first. You need 18 points on the people left behind and both you bring with you to be loyal. You'd never want to bring Garrus/Grunt/Zaeed because they all give 3 points So Loyal Tali and Loyal Jack for the boss and the Biotic/Tech sections. Then 3 more of your choice (one needs to be Garrus/Miranda/Grunt) would get everyone out alive with 5 loyalty missions total. You want Jack and Tali over Samara/Legion because the latter two have innately better Hold the Line scores and you want to take 2 of Mordin/Tali/Kasumi/Jack to the boss anyways so they don't drag down your score.

It still amazes me that every single loyalty with the exception of Kasumi/Garrus/Zaeed/Mordin was about daddy issues. Either they had a poo poo dad or they were a poo poo dad in the case of Thane/Samara. And Garrus had his daddy issues mission in ME1.

I'm pretty sure literally none of those cutscenes except a bit of the Thane one are in ME2. And the weird pre-rendered combat scene is real janky. Back in the weird pre-release times where Legion was Shepard's stalker, Grunt wasn't a test-tube baby and Jack was Subject Zero all the time.
