Android Blues posted:I imagine SAM is a VI, true AI on a Citadel approved mission with this many participants would be fairly bonkers given how much of a taboo it is. I'm still not sure whether the Andromeda Initiative is council approved or privately set up. Have they confirmed that one way or the other anywhere?

Poops Mcgoots posted:This was a hella dope credits song and I'm kinda bummed me3 didn't have more synth and instead went for an orchestral movie soundtrack. Faunts are great. And ME3 did get another Faunts song, Das Malefitz. I think Das Malefitz is actually probably better than M4 Part II. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BXfUOSk4A8 Hopefully they pull another one for Andromeda.

Drifter posted:One of the silliest bits in CItadel is the look Traynor gives when she pulls out her toothbrush to unlock the Normandy. It's great. Right up there with Joker doing the the robot at EDI in ME2. It helps that Traynor is definitely the most likeable new character in ME3, and is probably one of the most likeable ones in the series. If she wasn't it would just be dumb, not fun dumb.

Maybe that was just me then. I only played ME3 once, but she's basically the only non-returning character I remember liking.

Did the Keep let you set major decisions and randomize everything else, because I remember being annoyed at being asked about every stupid little sidequest that I didn't remember. Yep. I'm 99% sure you could do that, if you just did Varric's narrated choices portion, and left everything else.

Drifter posted:The Keep has a whole bunch of little poo poo that literally doesn't even reflect any flag changes in game. The point of the Keep isn't to make plot changes and poo poo, it was to acknowledge the fact that someone signed up with/into Origin. The Morrigan baby choice makes a difference. As does your Hawke choices + who'll be the Grey Warden in the Warden's quest. Beyond that... I can't think of much.

8-bit Miniboss posted:Origins had a better tactics system even cribbed from FF12. Inquisition is just not good at any level. Origins is the game to play if you want Dragon Age. Bin everything else. I really liked Origin's tactics system. Building characters that essentially won any fight for you without you having to do anything was an entertaining challenge. (The answer was always Mana Clash on the right trigger.) There were good things about the later DA games, but they weren't the combat.

Cythereal posted:Well that was a painfully generic trailer. And of course guy Ryder is the soldier and the teenage girl they're trying to pass off as the female PC was instead a researcher. Young people can be competent! But I agree, at 22 she'd be at best mid-way through a PhD, rather than already being a real researcher. Unless in the future they don't worry about universities and instead just neurally implant all the relevant knowledge directly into your brain or something.

Ainsley McTree posted:I have the exact opposite take on it honestly. I think that a story where you're the colonizers and the conflict comes from the natives not accepting you the way you hoped could, if written well, be really interesting and different. Instead we get this "actually, you're saving the new galaxy from an invading menace" handwave thing Good thing Obsidian's making a game explicitly about colonialism as we speak.

What are people thinking for their first builds? I'm thinking engineer pet class, Remnant VI, Assault Turret, Invasion. Let everyone else do the fighting for me, but given the love for them here, I'm guessing most people will go for a vanguard-eqsue build?

It's a weird choice, but equalising coverage between the sexes in terms of marketing materials isn't a bad thing. Will it literally just be the same trailer again with the Ryders swapped out?

It looks more like ME1 with the mechanics from ME3, and considering that ME1 is the best game in the series excepting the combat, and ME3 has by far the best combat in the series, I couldn't be more excited.

Understandable though. They've hit 1 for 3 over their last 3 games, and some people wouldn't even grant Inquisition as a positive. I liked DA2, but I'll admit it was a bad game. If people were blindly positive it would be unreasonable.

Skippy McPants posted:I doubt it. My guess is that they'll end up either partially of completely disabled and will act mostly as a moral support/foil between missions. I think equally likely is that they'll spend the first half of the game recovering, then get sent off on their own mission and join you as a temporary party member right at the end for the endgame, while bringing some sort of vital bit of technology.

Having watched the very start with a male and a female Ryder now, it's interesting that Sara's written to be much closer to her father than Scott is.
