It can try to pull off any species and it wouldn't matter. What does as far as bioware is concerned is if people want to have sex with it.

There are four "tones" we know of that form the basis of interactions. Given what they have said so far

Casual, for swearing and joking.
Professional, for what it says on the tin.
Head, for thinking rationally or dispassionately.
Heart, for going with your emotions or your gut.

I reckon you could get a Picard out of some of that.

Logical like Spock. Cold, critical and only using enough force as absolutely necessary.
Emotional like Kirk. A little sly, flying on the seat of your pants in any given scenario and most likely to come up with something corny when put on the spot.
And finally for the player that Renegade just doesn't go far enough, Fury. For when you just want to shoot an alien dead as soon as you meet them or use your biotics to rip them in half at any part during the conversation.

Are there any details on the multiplayer?

If its any good I'll probably get the game when its price dropped, ME3's multiplayer was more fun than it had any business being.

Only that it will have "some customization" so far. It's not really a good idea to be quiet about the thing people are the most optimistic about in your revamped franchise.

It's too smooth if that makes any sense.

I kind of miss the ugly ships of the 70s-80s. The millennium falcon looked like it was actually slapped together by scrap from several different derelict ships that somehow worked, however, I doubt you could do that with poo poo made by some SUPER SECRET OPERATION to colonize space. Like maybe in the sequel they could pull that, but here? Nah, you need to make another ship that could look good as in game model in your office.

I'd just wish they'd pick either is this is the Enterprise or a Space Station. Making the gently caress boat somehow both really huge, but also some sort of combat/stealth vessel seem really pointless. Oh well, I doubt it'll loving matter. They probably need action scenes where your ship's attacked or is running away from the aliens!

It's going to possibly be a good game buried in a lot of potential busy work. Like, I could take dumb story if its just that. But the people behind this LOVE planet scanning. So I'm worried that they're just going to tie getting anything cool behind LOADS OF BUSYWORK.

Or do a few things on lots of planets, I imagine. If it works the same way that power did, you can do whatever you want, wherever you want, probably.

No idea whether story happens once enough parts of the ship are upgraded or people unfrozen or not. They really could expect you to grind at least 2 full planets before something of story signigance happens, depending on how many planets are mandatory or important and how many are just optional fluff.


precision posted:

They're leading us to believe that zones will have less stuff than the Hinterlands, and what stuff there is will actually be interesting and/or plot-related and not "go get me 10 pieces of meat". I mean I'm sure there will be some lame quests but they've specifically talked about how they listened to the complaints people had about the huge zones with too many boring quests.

I'm not entirely against grind, I'm just wondering if they're making grind story important as in "You cannot proceed to fight this battle without X amount of unfrozen essential crew". But now that you mention it, I am worried a lot of content will feel too similar as well. I mean, all I will do is gently caress, shoot or talk to things, but I'd like at least the illusion of difference between each vault.
