Are there Mass Relays there, and if so, wouldn't that point directly to Reaper interference?

AngryBooch posted:It's been reported there is no paragon or renegade spectrum. I think it was reported the dialogue is more like Dragon Age Inquisition. Different tones you can use that effect personal relationships rather than your own character skills. That AMA said it reminded him of Alpha Protocol. Four choices of "mood" when you respond. Head, heart, professional, casual. By the way, I guess it speaks well for Bioware's hopes if an AMA with a game reporter watching a demo still gets people hyped.

Mr.Pibbleton posted:Why was he in ME3? I played through the whole series and some culturally confused Chinese cyborg ninja who got his rear end handed to him by a dying Drell really didn't add much to the story. I'm really looking forward to the half dozen characters we meet in Andromeda and say, "Oh poo poo, you're Fartknocker McGee?!?! Everyone who read the tie-in novels knows about you!" marshmallow creep posted:You can pursue multiple intimate relationships. Some might not like that. As you'd expect. Others may say they don't care. But, don't they? "I-It's not like I wanted you to wax my ovipositor!" the space slug squelches nervously.

precision posted:I'm not saying that isn't true, I'm just saying who cares as long as it ends up good and that having weirdo races does literally nothing to increase or decrease the odds of the game being good. The ME series and Bioware in general are things that are expected to have a massive fan base. They stopped playing 2 hour long drunken sets in bars over a decade ago. I think that GameInformer article stumbles by: 1. Saying "here's the new alien race in Andromeda!" and implying there aren't a half dozen other weird new aliens 2. Showing off a bunch of crazy designs and then saying, "Oh, but actually it is Rock Head Man." Just do neither of those, show off the final version of the alien, and leave the rest for the art book. Maybe show off those flying bug aliens from the trailer or something. Two hours into ME1, you could meet elcor, volus, hanar, asari, salarians, turians, quarians, maybe krogan? Oh, and the Keepers. If ME:A has the same depth, it'll be fine, but they keep talking about how you're a human on the human ship going to human world, and also there's a spunky asari sidekick. If it's an exploration game about the unknown, sell people on all the mysterious new stuff they'll find, not on the old stuff from three games ago.

Levantine posted:I'm digging back into ME3 multiplayer on PC after a few years away. There's a lot of new content but my question is, how should I spend my credits starting out? Should I just buy a bunch of recruit packs or should I work on the higher tier boxes? Start out with Recruit packs until you max out the cheap guns. That way, you aren't wasting tons of spacebux on common weapons. After that, you can buy whatever. You don't get the rare weapons/kits from Recruit Packs, and obviously those are the ones you want, but they're waaaaay cheaper than the others. marktheando posted:That's basically it. You ran into a bunch of their failed mad science experiments where they let Rachni loose and got all their guys killed. Which is why even in my most evil ME2 play through I didn't trust them to be competent enough to handle the collector base. They also murdered an admiral who found out about their dumb experiments.

Chomp8645 posted:They railroaded people into that choice. Now yeah being in the military doesn't exclude being a engineer or Abused Psyker Experiment but all that poo poo sets a certain tone. Especially seeing as you are the captain of the ship, a role to which a combat officer type role feels perfectly natural, but not so much a techie or pariah-lite-psychic. On the other hand, it's a rare treat when someone picks an Adept in multiplayer and doesn't have a sniper rifle and an assault rifle equipped. Some people just refuse to do anything but shoot guns.

Pattonesque posted:3. You find clues about what happened to the other arks. For instance, as you locate asari escape pods, you learn more about what happened to them and their ark, and that thread is eventually resolved in a mission. All the other arks blew up and left us alone in the galaxy, didn't they? quote:22. You don’t have to start New Game+ after finishing the game. You can just keep exploring once the final mission is complete. Not having to obsessively finish side quests before doing any main story is nice, but after Skyrim, this translates to, "You'll want to stop playing after the story ends" for me.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:I'm actually okay with this, mainly because the combat in ME has always been way more fun than in any dragon age game. The problem with having MMO style combat in MMO mechanics land is suddenly you're just playing a lovely single player mmo. It honestly reminded me more of borderlands than anything else from the little bit we saw, just without the bullet sponge problem. The combat could be fine, but that Brute-looking thing was taking a lot of hits before sync-killing Ryder. comatose posted:That bugged me as well. "Yo, we're totally taking the series to a new location so we can do what we want!" Base full of krogans, humans, turians, etc. That said, are these guys Kett? They looked more lanky and sharp-edged in the reveal video.

Drifter posted:Not really. I'm sure it's just a WOrthing Saga type of deal, where one week every five or fifteen years they wake up the lady Krogan from cryogenic slumber and let her do some administrative work and then back she goes into cryo sleep. She won't die for quite some time at that rate. I'm not talking about her lifespan, but the fact that the genophage isn't cured when the arks leave. Female krogans were still sequestered on Tuchanka to keep them safe. I wonder if they are going to reconsider that for the krogans in Andromeda (who may or may not have their own ark?).

Popete posted:I think we are quickly approaching Obsidian RPGs just turning into full blown dating simulators, it's increasingly becoming more of the focus with people legit getting angry if they can't e-bang some alien blob. I'm not convinced there's any consequence to people's supposed dating-sim anger. It's a very easy way for developers to add "choices" that don't affect the story, so it gets thrown into every game, regardless of whether story-impacting choices make it in or not. Sure, someone is going to complain that they can't dote up a hanar, but the game stands or falls on the actual story's merits, and it's not like fans of Bioware-style RPGs have many other games to scratch that itch. Owlofcreamcheese posted:Inquisition was a pretty below average game that seems like it broke a lot of internet people's brain and made them play in the least fun way possible. It doesn't help that Dragon Age 1 had at least one moment that cuts off old quests, so you never know if you have to play every side quest obsessively before doing the main story, or if it won't matter.
