precision posted:Krogans are boring, I hope they're not in and BioWare instead made another race to be What If Orcs, But Too Much. Whats it like being that wrong? Brogans for life. Makes sense that the Council Races get a ship each then you'll likely have minor races as hangers on in the big Citadel-style ship because why not? Krogans are confirmed so it's probably a Wrex initiative since he was smart like that. Volus would be cool because they ran the economy for the Council Alliance. Throw in some other minor races as background NPCs and you should be good to go.

One of my favorite multiplayer builds was a N7 Demolisher with max grenade gear and my level nine harrier. I'd camp my ammo pylon, poo poo tech grenades everywhere for the vanguard to charge into, and finish off stuff with a rain of bullets.

Thor-Stryker posted:The only thing that worries me about a classless skill system is that every single ability has to be balanced perfectly. Otherwise you get a 'feast or famine' effect where certain skills are always required and other ones will never be chosen. I like someone with a Lucio gangtag complaining about balance and something always being needed.

hobbesmaster posted:As I recall a few of the default classes were pretty good even in platinum. A lot of platinum came down to teamwork and quality of gear. A vanilla adept did fine in platinum because they were great for causing combos with another player. I might be wrong but the vanilla vanguard might have been too squishy for platinum compared to the krogan or batarian.

Pattonesque posted:yeah getting close to a high-level enemy should be risky but the risk shouldn't be "at random times you will automatically die with no warning or ability to avoid it" The Banshees would use their sync kill constantly. Brutes and Atlas units seemed to do it at a much more reasonable pace. You'd have to really tempt fate with them to get their sync kill to fire. But with a Banshee just being near one triggered the granny hug of death.

They had an obnoxiously powerful pistol they used at range but you could manage them with explosives or ranged biotics. The Falcon rifle got outclasses and nerfed a lot but it was wonderful for applying ammo powers and knocking back phantoms.

I'm guessing the writers are going into this with the assumption there will be sequels. That is one thing that really seemed to gently caress up the first three games. Mass Effect One is a big sensation and the writers can't come up with anything so they squat over a galaxy map and out plops Cerberus and Jesus Shepard.

Arcsquad12 posted:So when the Reapers invade the Milky Way and steal the plans for the Andromeda Initiative, will they send a ship to pursue them to another Galaxy? They've already established that the Reapers are extremely fast moving through Dark Space, so they could probably catch up in the 600 year time span. The idea that the Reapers stuck to one galaxy always seemed limited in scope to me. That being said with the way the Reapers ended up I'll gladly leave them behind story wise. the good fax machine posted:Yes but Mass Effect 2 owned sooo I loved ME2 but you could have easily had the same story without Cerberus. "No one on the council believed me. I'm going to assemble my own team, the best of the best. We'll get the job done ourselves or die trying." You could have had Liara as the Shadow Broker feeding the Normandy team info and the Shadow Broker DLC being the big reveal. Tezcatlipoca posted:The acolyte pistol crushes phantoms. Yeah once that was introduced it made breaking them down much easier.

Milky Moor posted:I think it's pretty clear that EA basically slapped Bioware around and told them to resuscitate the franchise by any means necessary after the debacle of ME3. Sending an massive exhibition to another galaxy isn't that unusual a story in sci-fi. They've even had a few Star Trek pilots written with that in mind. If you look at the Mass Effect universe as being pretty much explored and populated trying to find a new place to fill up makes sense. Story wise it lets them make up a lot of new stuff while bringing enough familiar elements to keep people comfortable.

The writers trying to get away from the "It's the end of the world but I need to mine this ore for the widget" mechanic is a good thing in my opinion. On the other hand I was always able to suspend my disbelief because it's a video game and we all want those widgets.

Skellybones posted:So is there a mass relay system already in place in the Andromeda galaxy or will it take several years between missions to get from place to place? I believe the implication for the human ark is that something causes it to be late or for the crew to wake later than the other arks. That lets the writers have the rest of the arks establish places to go and likely a mass relay network.

Thor-Stryker posted:I miss ME1’s energy management system for guns. Being able to completely change a weapon's purpose was fun (Taking a five shot sniper rifle and making it into a single-shot monster.) I want to say there was some mechanical reason for the change. But it was probably due to them wanting to appeal to the Call of Duty crowd. Besides if you modded certain weapons right in ME1 you never had to worry about overheating and the combat became even more boring than before.

I wish Bioware wasn't so stingy with in game skeletons. It's what limits them to humanoid aliens. Blizzard has a unique skeleton for each character in Overwatch which is crazy.

tayvaan posted:I suspect that this has a lot to do with how they do cut scenes. A lot of in mission cut scenes include your current party in the background, I suspect that with one universal skeleton they can apply one sequence of animations to any character that might be there. If they do multiple skeletons they would potentially have to create multiple versions of each cut scene to account for whatever combination of skeletons might be present. Reasonable assumption. That being said having an elcor do more than just sit stationary would be a nice bonus.
